Str. Turbin Was Wreck
ed Off Sable Island.
Strikes Ledge in Storm and
Soon Goes Down.
Shore is StreWn With Wreekage Of Graf
But Crew is Missing.

Clarks Harbor, N. s., Nov. 21.-Part
Of the deck house with electric wires
attached and some of the bridge
washed ashore in this vicinity are the
only souvenirs here of the wreck OF
the Norwegian steamer Turbin, with
all on board, Friday evening. Fisher
men who patrOlled along the coast, to-
day, found this wreckage, but none of
the bodies We're recovered.
Eighteen miles northeast from Cape
Sable lies Mud island, the scene OF the
disaster. Directly south of it is Seal is
land and farther seward in about the
same direction is Blond rock. which has
cut short many noble ships career.
These islands stretch far across the
track of vessels rounding the cape anu
bound into the Bay of Yarmouth, %
miles beyond. The two-mile gap be-
tween is called the Hospital, and is a
convenient passage at all times even
for large crafts as it shOrtens the
course which otherwise would be a
wiGe berth of Blond rock. One mile
north is Black Rock lodges, great
mound of rough rock, bare at half tide
with a line Of shoals running wester-
ly from it covered by three fathOms of
water. Rapid currents rush past these
reefs and in stormy weather the waves
are huge fOaming cataract for no
buoy or other mark warns the mariner
of danger.
The Inflated steamer took this road
at low tide. near shutdown Friday, in
the teeth OF a bowling gale. The fish
ermen on Mud island watched her
hi, fn; I,
near Black ledge, she stopped sud-
denly and a deluge of sea pounded over
her. Then she swung back for mo-
ment, shook from stem to stern like a
duck shaking the water from its back
then keeled over and disappeared.
There was no time to clear away the
boats and nothing could be made out
after that from the island. No boat
could piss through the surf on shore
and no help could be rendered. The
storm subsidized. Monday, and when the
steamer Edna r. touched Mud island
she learned of the terrible occurrence
and brought the news of the disaster to
the mainland.
A report reached here, late tonight,
that the boom and derrick of the sunk
en- steamer had been washed ashore on
Mud island, at dusk this evening.
The steamer was owned by Actiesel-
kabet Turbin Of Sandefjord. Norway.
She was valued at $780, 900, and her cargo
of coal was worth $500. She was COM
manded by Captain X. X. Nudsen, who
with Fist Officer K. Hansen, Chief
Engineer A. Andersen and 10 other
members of her crew were all Norwe-
gians.

INSPECTOR O'REILLY
And Governor To Talk Over New
Foundand Fishery Troubles.

st. Johns. N. F.. Nov. 21.-Inspector
OReilly. in charge of the enforcement
arrived-from Bay Of Islands, last night,
having been summoned here by Gov Mac
Gregor to supply the fullest information
respecting the fisheries situation in or
imperial cabinet. O'Reilly reported that
the Americans had only loaded 4 single
vessel thus far. the other 20 vessels in
the bay having little fish.
The scheme OF hiring colonial fisher
men outside the emile limit completely
failed, the inspector said, and though Il
number of men had shipped their catch
was trifiing. The Canadian vessels, the
Mariner and the Roanoke, with the larg-
est cargoes of herring ever taken from
the bay, sailed, this week, bound for
Gloucester, being chartered by American
traders. These vessels bought their her
ring from local fishermen under local fish
cry regulations and will pay import duty
on foreign fish when entering American
ports.

Horse island and the latter hid the hull
from view. About l p. NJ. as Capt
Allan was watching, he observed a
large quantity of steam or smoke as

the masts of the other steamer had
disappeared from view.
When the kilkeel came out of Bea-
yer Harbor, Sunday, after the sea had
moderated some, the captain and his
officers had their glasses on the place
where they thought the disaster had
occurred, and they saw what they took
to be the funnel of a steamer sticking
some distance above the water. There
was such a heavy sea running then
that he could not approach the dan
gerous shoals.
