plunged into the water.
Out of the wreckage three dead bod

men are suffering from injuries more
or less severe
Ships Torn Loose.
A remarkable fleet Of the disaster
was seen in the shipping in the har-
Dor. At the pier adjoining the wreck
ed structure the North German Lloyd
steamer Cassel was moored and on
board were a large number of immi-
grants. The immense wave that fol
lowed the plunge Of the new pier into
the water lifted the big Cassel in the
air, dashed her against the pier and
crushed it badly, at the anne time
tearing the steamer from her moorings
and casting her adrift. The immigrants
were for a short time in a state bor-
dering on panic, and two of them jump
ed overheard, but We're rescued.
Snapped Like Irvine.
The Neptune line steamer Ripcn
was also torn from the dock where she
was moored, as also was the Norwe-
gian steamer Fortuna, loaded with
steel rails. Her wire hawsers were
snapped like Irvine. The harbor is
narrow where the accident occurred
and the initial wave and its rebound
from the opposite shore cast a number
of smaller vessels adrift and caused
much confusion for a time.
