went ashore of Port Royal, while on
her way back to New York. The
passengers were landed here safely
and Captain Brulnswig, who was in
charge of the Victoria Luise, when
she struck, copmitted suicide BY
blowing out hts brains in his cabin.
TThe German cruiser Bremen has
gone to the assistance of the strand
cd steamer and the French training
ship Duquay -Thouln is preparing to
leave port with the same object in
view.
The Victoria Luise IL pounding
heavily and the seas are breaking
over her, but hopes are still enter
tanned that she will be saved. She
is resting on rocky ledge.
According to the latest report from
the scene of the wreclFlhe Bremen
was trying TO pull the stranded yes
sci on. The body Of Captain Bruin-
swlg Is still on board the steamer.
! In accounting for the stranding OF
the steamer, It is explained that she
was without pilot, and the captain
in charge. He followed wrong
course, aud piled her up on the rocks
Just under the lighthouse. Two
hours later the captain locked him
self IN his cabin, and blew out his
brains.
The officers OF the ship and the
German consul here made Intellectual
efforts TO hush up the news OF the
tragedy. The local police are ar
ranging TO take charge OF the body
and perform an autopsy. The body
probably will be sent 70 New York
for burial.
When tae Victoria ran on the rocks
the sea was calm. the present heavy

prevailed. until Il was learned that
