Crew and Passengers Die in
Sight of Land
LFE-SAVERS UNABLE TO HELP
Rotterdam Steamer Berlin, With 141
Passengers and Crew Of so, Wreck
ed Of the Hook of Holland, Every
Soul Aboard With One Exception
Disappearing in Mountainous
Waves.

London, BY Cablc.-The Rotterdam
mail steamer Berlin, from England,
with 141 passengers and crew, was
wrecked off the Hook of Holland, at
the entrance of the River Mas, lead
ing to Rotterdam, shortly before 8
O'Clock Friday morning, and with one
exception all on board perished.
A terrific southwesterly gale was
blowing right in shore and drove
the Berlin on sand bank close to
the northern jetty as she was trying
to enter the new waterway. Heavy
seas quickly pounded the vessel to
pieces. She broke in two. her fore
part sinking Immediately, while the
doomed passengers and crew could
be seen for brief space of time
clustered on the aftcrpart Then the
afterpart slipped off the ledge and dis
appeared in the mountainous waves.
Tugs and life boats, when the alarm
was first sounded, promptly put out
TO the assistance of the Berlin, but
the violence of the gale and the
heavy seas made it impossible to ap-
proaeh the wreck, and the helpless
vould-be life savers saw the steamer
break up and the crew and passeng-
ems washed away without being able
to render the slightest assistance.
The Berlin left Harwich at 10
o'clock Thursday night. upon the ar
nyal there of the London train with
the greatest number of passengers
who subsequently lost their lives. The
steamer should have reached the Hook
of Holland ut o'clock Friday morn
ing and would have then proceeded
for Rotterdam.
AL on Board Drowned.
AS the Berlin was entering the
waterway ut the entrance of the river
Mas, she apparently became unmnn-
agable on account of the force of the
wind and was driven ashore. The
alarm was given and life boats from
the shore went to the assistance of
the steamer. but the seas were so high
that the boets were unable to APP
proach the Berlin close enough TO
take off any of the passengers or
crew and the life boat men had to
sit helpless while the steamer pound
ed until she broke in two and everv
soul on board was carried down. The
steamer apparently struck off and
sank immediately, while her after
part could be seen for considerable
penod of time afterwards.
The waterway in which the disas-
ter occurred is new one on the north
side of which is the pier and railroad
station. The steamer must have been
within few miles Of tying up after
her rough passage across the North
Sea when she was overtaken bv the
disaster. Land was but a few wards
away, and except in the roughest
weather those on board the Berlin
could have been rescued without diff
ncuity especially as the waterway is
navigable at all tides.
