the fronts are loose enough to mean

There is a becoming big collar at the

hundred persons on board, was
wrecked off Hormigas Island. Most
Of those lost we're Italians and Span
iards The captain of the steamer
committed suicide. He attributed
the wreck to his own imprudence.

Those rescued from the vessel
were. taken to Cape Palos in a pitia-

clothing.
The Sirio, which was owned by the
Navigazione Italia, of Genoa, struck
a rocky reef known as Bajos Hormi-
gas and sank soon after, stern first.
Hormigas Island lies about two and
a half miles to the eastward of Cape
Palos.
Before he committed suicide the
captain said the steamer had Gas pas
sengers on board and that her crew
numbered 127 men The Sirio had
BIO passengers when she left Genoa,
but additional Spanish passengers
were taken on board at Barcelona,
where the vessel touched few hours

The steamer was threading diff
hcult passage through the Hormigas
group, where the Bajos Hormigas
Reef is a continual menace to naviga-
ton, The vessel began to settle rap
idly as soon as she struck, and ter
rible scene of confusion and panic
followed. The fishermen along the
coast sought to render every assist
ance in their power, and sent out
boats which brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and
crew of the Sirio are among the
saved.
The survivors camped in the main
square of the town at Cape Palos.
There were narrowing scenes, as the
stricken families anxiously sought
members among the rescued A
mother who lost her three children
went insane. The doctor of the Sirio
gave up his wife and child as lost,
but they were finally brought in by
one of the rescuing boats. One of
the boats sent out by the fishermen
brought in twenty-four passengers.
a few minutes later the vessel be-
gan to sink by the stern The pas
sengers rushed forward, fighting for
places in the bow of the boat. Many
fell and were trampled to death.
Dozens of men and women threw
themselves into The sea. A young
mother, who was carrying her baby,
was advised TO abandon the child and
try to save herself This she refused
to do. Both we're afterwards res
