TW TWO CADETS
SINK WITH SHIP.
DANISH TRAINING SCHOONER is
RAMMED BY BRITISH STEAMER
NEAR COPENHAGEN.
klfty-seven Youths Are Rescued, but the
Rest Are Drowned Before
Help Arrived.

Copenhagen, Denmark, June ga
serious disaster occurred last night near
here when the Danish cadet training
schooner Georg Stage was rammed and
sunk by the British steamer Ancona.
The Georg Stage sank in one and one
half minutes. Twenty-Five cadets were
drowned and ffty-seven rescued
The boys were all in their hunks at the
time of the disaster. The night was
overcast, but it was not SO dark that
objects could not be seen at some dis
lance.
The Ancona was considerably dana ged
along her water line. The port authori-
ties have placed an embargo on the An
coma, which will remain here until the IN
quiry into the collision is completed.
Thus far only a single body has been
recovered by the divers who have gone
down to the wreck.
First Officer Myhre Of the Georg Stage
attributes the accident to the Ancona
changing her course He said the An
cona's bow crashed seven feet into the
training schooner's side, bringing down
the latter's masts and rigging and pre-
venting many Of the cadets from gain
ing the deck. These who were not ell
tangled in the wreckage sprang on board
the AncOna and assisted in launching the
life boats. Myhre, himself, jumped into
the water and rescued many boys who
were entangled in the rigging.
The Georg Stage was q schooner of
FOG tons register and was 1O3 feet long.
Apparently she was a training vessel for
the mercantile marine and was owned by
private firm Of Copenhagen.
