In the first meeting of Kean, the great

"Who is that shabby little man with

asked In the hearing Of the king Of the

asking aloud, ''is that odd little wo-

128 Go DOWN
WITH STEAMER
Terrible Disaster Overlook the Ber-
lin at the Hook of Holland.
FIFTEEN PERSONS WERE SAVED

London. Feb. 22.-The worst disas-
ter for many years in tle history of
the busy cross-channel traffic between
England and the continent occurred
during a violent gale, wnen the Rot
terdam mail steamer Berlin, from Har-
wich to Hook of Holland, having safe
~ weathered the hurricane, was
wrecked as she was entering port.
With the exception of II, all her pas
sengers and crew, numbering alto
gether 143 persons, lost their lives.
No cause yet has been assigned for
the terrible accident, and it probably
never will be known how the steamer
came to miss the channel, which, al
though 800 yards wide and we'll buoyed
and lighted, is always difficult of ac-
cess in rough weather. 1t is conjectured
that some arrangement of the engines
or steering gear may have rendered
the vessel uncomfortable. Captain
Precious, of the Berlin, had a good
record of IA years service. The list of
passengers on the fated steamer was
lost and all the names of those who
were on board have not yet been
learned, but as far as has been ascer-
tanned there were no Americans among
the passengers.
. Thirty bodies have been recovered.
Captain Parkinson, of Belfast, Ire
land. was saved. He was uncon-
scious when dragged out of the wa
ter, and was carried to a hotel in the
neighborhood of the quay. He is now
in high fever as a result of his ex-
posure.
Captain Parkinson, describing the
disaster, says the night was the most
terrible of all his experience. Never
had he seen such weather. So ter
rifle was the gale that he remained all
night completely dressed on deck. The
Berlin already was near the light at
the north pier, and the passengers,
many of whom had not gone below,
were beginning to breathe freely again
after the terrible crossing, when the
ship struck with violent shock. Then
suddenly the vessel broke in twain
Captain Parkinson hurried to the
bridge to offer Captain Precious his
help, but just as he put his foot on
the ladder he saw the captain and the
pilot swept away by the seas.
OF what followed Captain Parkinson
cannot give a clear account. When he
recovered himself he was in the wa.
ter, surrounded by floating timbers
One of these he seized and he succeed
ed in keeping himself af1oat until hi
saw the lifeboat. His cry for help wa.
heard and he was picked up and wa:
brought ashore. He was taken to tht
Hook station and removed thence to
hotel. He was in the icy storm lashet
water for about one hour Captain
Parkinson was almost in tears as ht
recited what he had seen before beins
swept away by the waves.
On the foredeck of the Berlin at tn,
moment of the disaster there wer,
about 100 persons, and all of then
were hurled into the sea. While Cap
tain Parkinson was in the water h
heard all around him the stified erie
of those who were drowning He wa
constantly swept against fioatin
corpses, and estimates that he mus
have encountered 20 bodies in thi
manner.
