 The stern of Ine Berltn IS so firmly ernbedded in the sand bank on which she went ashore that 1t does not appear to have moved during the night. At hlEnt water this morning the top deck houses were the only portions of the steamer visible. and there the few sur vivors were haddied. A life boat which went ont for the wreck at midnight, accompanied by three tugs, remained there anchored close to the Berlin for fhfee hours. but was unable to get a1sn Ksslae her. as the heavy seas would have dashed hsp to pieces. s
 Captain Parkinson of the Holt Steam ship Line, who was on his way to Afus- terdam to join his vessel. the Myrmy- don. and take her back to Liverpool. said this morning that the catastrophe was due 10 the fact that the Berlin preached to in the terrific sea. as she was entering the waterway. and that before she was able to recover herself. she was dashed on the pier head, ini- mediately "crunched up like e concer- tina" and parted amldships.
 The strag9 ing little. village of the Hook of Hollands fs flled with anxious reiativee of the passengerBynDd crew Of the Berlin, and heartFendtuE sccrss are witnessed at the improvised mort uary where lie the bodies that have af- ready been washed ashore. More of these are battered beyond recognition and some are without heads and others without arms or legs.
 The Prince Consort. after his first vis- if to the wreck, when he saw with his own eyes that there were still some survivors on board. declared; we won't return to the Hague before we sava them; we must set them Sone- how"
 had been fulfilled had reached the vraitInR crowds in the shape of ru- nor shortly before 3 o'clock this af- ternoon and pilot later confirmed the tidings. There was then wtd rush to various points of vantage overiookkinR the harbor. A special force of police and soldiers had been brought into the Hook and these con" troIIed tho excited crowd. Long hours of waiting followed and the people began to doubt the truth Of the -e- mort that ten persons had been saved. l. 1t was not until after o,c'ock that the steam pilot boat heralded It's ap" nroach win piercing shrieks of tri- umph from her siren. By this time the harbor was blocked with thousands of people.
 Cheers for survivors.
 ThA small life boat was the first to reach inc harbor and Captain Jansen. lis skipper received round on round of cheers. He reported that three women and child who hat -efused to jump were still aboard the week of thA Berlin. He e~ola'ued that the rascne had been effectd by bo'h hoats working in conjunction.
