ished.
The ship carried 500 persons and
was bound from Genoa and BARGE
Iona for Buenos Ayres when she
struck on a reef close to Hormigas
island.
Emigrants Make a Rush
For half an hour an awful panic
reigned on the doomed ship. Fren-
lied emigrants made a rush for the
small boats, into which the women
and children were being placed, and
then began a terrible battle.
The crazed emigrants dragged the
women and children from the boats,
stabbing the women and hurting
them aside and killing officers and
members Of the crew who opposed
them.
Then the men with the knives
fought among themselves for the
life preservers and boats.
A fleet Of trawlers went TO the
rescue, and the fishermen had to
battle with the panic-stricken emf

Fishermen Also Perish.
Through the swamplng OF their boats

A terrible scene OF confusion followed.
The captain and officers tired to main

were hurried to the boats.
The men forced back the officers and
crew. and arrangements were made TO
save the more helpless ones first At
first the emigrants yielded.
Then there came a grinding noise. the
ship's bottom evidently slipping along
the reef. This sent thrill OF terror
through the emigrants and a crowd
rushed for one OF the boats. in which
women and children had been placed
preparatorv to lowering the boat. With
knives in their hands they began haul

boat. stabbing and slashing. Members
of the crew who opposed them were
cut down.

The crew of this trawler started to
mutiny. declaring that their vessel
would be sunk. but the captain of the
boat drew a revolver, and. leveling it at
his men, shouted;
