single story building l4X24 with hall

occupants into the water. A heavy
sea was pounding the boats against
the ships sides. We went to another,
a crowd of shrieking women and chill
dren following.
The launching operations were not
conducted simultaneously, the officers
and crew going from one to another.
Had men been set at work at each
boat more would have been saved.
Some of the crew were worse than the
passengers and but few of the officers
would have put off in the boats them
selves. They were driven back and
threatened with death unless they
obeyed orders. The captain never left
the bridge, but he shouted so many
orders that the crew did not know
what to do. Therefore, stuck to the
third mate. Together we jumped into
a small boat just before the vessel
went down, but we did not think so
many were left behind as appeared on
the water when the Norge sank. Those
remaining on board were chiefly
women and children. 1 saw only two
other boats afioat, one big lifeboat,
easily carrying sixty persons, and the

ENGINEER A HERO.
Many deeds OF. heroism shine bright
ly through the pail of the catastrophe.
That of Jams Peters Jansen, who @has
relatives in Brooklyn, n. Y, is told
with admiration by the survivors. He
was one Of the engineers on the Norge.
When the ship struck he learned the
extent of the disaster and went below
to where his relatives were and told
them and those near by to go at once
to the upper deck. He accompanied
them to the boats and saw them safely
on board. He was urged to join them,
but said he must return to the engine
room. and, shouting farewell, ran to
his post of duty, where he died. Some
of the male passengers, without a
thought of self, placed women and
children in the boats, preferring to re-
main behind rather than take advan-
tage of their strength. The mate of the
Norge, who left the ship in the boat
which arrived here, leaped into the
water for the purpose of swimming to
second boat He had only gone a
short distance when, weighted by his
clothes, his strength gave out and he
sank.
The crew of the Norge appear to
have behaved well after the first panic
when it is said the officers were com
PEELED to drive them back from the
boats But there apparently was nc
discipline, the orders which the captain
shouted from the bridge being misin-
terpreted or unheard. So far as the
survivors here remember there was nc
systematic distribution of the people
to the boats, which were not adequate
ly manned. No attempt was made by
any of the survivors to save prop
erty. There was no time to make prep
arations.

breeze from the southwest / stood on
the bridge with Chief Officer Carpen-
ter. Soundings were taken and it was
reported there was five feet of water
in the forward hold. Orders were given
to commence pumping and also to the
passengers to put on life belts and be
ready TO get to the boats, which were
ordered to be put out.
THE crew worked nobly under the
leadership of the chief officer Seven
boats got safely away, the life savers
were cut adrift and the steamer went
down by the bow. The chief officer
told me she was sinking and told him
to jump overheard which he did.

Brown, who is good swimmer. We
kept company for about an hour and a

engineer reached the boat first. Both
of us were taken on board exhausted.
We found that it was lifeboat No. 1.

of Seaman Peter Olsen. After talking
little, 1 took charge of the boat and
provisions, which consisted only of a
box with bread and two TASKS of water.
The boat wRs steered for st. Kilda, $50
miles distant.
"On Saturday morning we saw a
large schooner-rigged steamer about
| four miles distant. We put up a
blanket on an oar, but the steamer
passed on without taking any notice
of us. On Sunday morning a boat
passed some distance off. At about ~
o'clock Sunday land was sighted and
the spirits of all were revived. 1t

erward a steamer was noticed coming
from the west bearing down on our
boat. She proved to be the Energie.

The Central Theater began the week
yesterday with packed houses at both
matinee and evening performances of
Theodore Kremer's new play, Welded
and Parted" II is q comedy drama
and, like all Of Kremer's work. is as
full Of sensations as an egg is of meat.
Three or four curtain calls after every
scene proved that the Central has
struck the real thing in the bill now
on the boards. The play tells the story
of a woman's cruel wrongs, but the
faithful heart triumphs at last, Of
. course, and the day Of happiness
daVns brightly after the night of woe
and suffering. The plot is said TO have
been obtained from actual facts, re-
Vealed by the police records Of New
York City. However that may be, the
piece is a pronounced success at the
Central and is in for a prosperous
week
Belle and Lotta Tobin, who present
a refined and dainty musical act. were
heartily applauded at both perform

YOUNG AMERICA FAILS TO
BURN UP MUCH PROPERTY
Many Fires Are Started by Burning
Powder, but Are Quickly Extin-
guiShed With Small DAMAGE

guished With Small Damage.
The CITY firemen celebrated the
Fourth in their usual busy fashion.
At all the engine houses the day was
an almost continuous round of activity.
Alarms were frequent from morning
to night in all parts of the city, and
engines, horses and men had few rests,
thanks to the work of Young America
and the perniciously effective fire
cracker.
Out of it all the San Francisco Fire
Department added to it's reputation for
efficiency. The noisy boys of all ages
did their best to start a conf1agration.
Powder was burned by the ton all over
the city. Fires by the score were
started. But the city's amazing luck
stood by it.
Prompt work by the firemen
checked every incipient blaze and the
total damage reported from all the
fires will probably total only a few
thousand dollars.
While credit is being given. per-
haps the weather man should line up
with the Fire Department and get his
due. The slight rain, or heavy drizzle,
of Sunday night probably contributed
in no small degree to the city's escape
yesterday from serious fires. ~

Of granite rising clear out Of the At

which was carrying 500 Danes. Nor
wegians. Swedes and Firms to join rel
atives or friends in America. OF these
only about $50 were saved
No tragedy Of the sea has had
more appalling consequence and none
occurred in a shorter time. The pas
sengers were, suddenly aroused from
their sleep, terrified by the contact of
the bows of the ship with the solid
granite, followed by a grinding. rasp-
ing sound as If the hull was being
showed over large rocks. Then silence
as the changing bells brought the en-
gines TO a stop. Those of the pas
sengers who were standing at the time
the steamer struck the rock were
thrown against the bulkheads or on
the decks and had not recovered their
feet when a stentorian voice gave the
terrifying order: "All hands on deck;
hurry or you may sink
Immediately there was a rush for the
narrow companionways and men, wo-
men and children pushed and struggled
and made every effort to reach the
deck, where the boats swung from the
davits. Many persons who retained
their presence of mind seized life pre-
servers, only to find in some instances
that the strings were rotten and they
could not be quickly placed around
their bodies. Those VINO reached the
deck saw the nose of the Norge pinned
directly against the rocks. 1t remained
there only a few minutes, for Captain
Gundell, commanding, who had i'm
mediately gone TO the bridge, gave the
order to the engineer to reverse the
engines. Some men of the engineer
fcrce had relatives among the passen-
gers and after seeing them safely to
the boats they heroically returned TO
their station below As the ship backed
of and as she gained headway ii was
found that water was pouring into her
hold This fact, announced in Scan
dinavian, added to the supreme fright
and agony.

plunged forward, her stern shot up in
the air and she disappeared. The swim
mers in the vicinity of the ship were
drawn into the vortex and were whirled
around like chips in the maelstrom.
But twelve minutes elapsed from the
time the ship struck until she sank. A
fine Scotch mist which was falling at
the time shut out the other survivors
from the view of those who were
brought to Grimsby. These latter, as
soon as their boat was clear of the
scene of the wreck, devoted themselves
to thoughts of their own safety A
jacket was tied to an oar, which was
in turn fastened to the bow of the boat.
and a sailor, a Dane, took charge of
the boat. Men and women were put to
work keeping the boat afioat as hole
had been stove in her bow when 1t was
lowered from the ship. An examination
of the water cask showed that it did
not contain a drop of water.
BUT LITTLE TO EAT.
There were some biscuits, and these
were eaten by the shipwrecked people
during the ten hours between the time
the ship struck, at o'clock a. m. June
2S, until they were picked up by the
Grimsby trawler Silvia.
And we who sat horror-stricken in
that small boat, avoiding as much as
possible the heavy seas because we
were afraid we would sink" said LARA

Schroeder. at Chicago, I'VE were dane

than pray miserably for the succor and
help that came"

They have been shipwrecked.'
I'VE told the captain and he i'm
mediately told us to go ahead and we
picked them up. They were in a ter
rible plight Men and women were in
sufficiently clothed and so cramped
that they could hardly come on board.
We could not start Immediately. for
we had our nets out, but as soon as
they were slowed in we went di-
rectly to where the Norge went down.
There was no trace of the ship, but
back of the rocks were the bodies Of
more than 100 men, women and little
children"
HEAVY SEA RUNNING.
Karl Mathieson, the Danish sailor
who assumed command of the boat
brought to Grimsby. only joined the
Norge at Copenhagen just before she
sailed for New York He said he
knew nothing about the ships ar
rangements in case of collision or fire.
He had never been instructed in the
fire drill and did not understand what
it meant. He was on deck when the
vessel struck. but he did not know
until he heard the captain shouting
the order to man the boats that the
damage was great. Mathieson said:
Il worked with the third mate and
followed him to the different boats.
