HITS ROCK
Minnehaha grounded during
a dense fog, but paSSen-

PANIC ON BOARD WHEN
THE GREAT CRASH CAME

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON. April 1s.--The Atlantic Trans
port liner Minnehaha, which grounded IN
a dense fog near Bishops Rock, in the
Scilly Islands at . o'clock this morning
is rapidly sinking. She has twelve feet Of
water forward and it is not believed that
she can stay ahoat until the score Of
tGgs that are rushing to her rescue from
Falmouth arrive.
The "a terrified passengers we're landed
with the greatest Difficulty at Bryher
Island after some Of the lift boats had
almost oapsized in the heavy sea. Des-
perate efforts are now being made to save
the cargo. A large shipment of cattle
was landed at Simpsons Island
Captain Layland and the crew are stick
ing by the boat
The liner struck the reef with terrific
force and was Immediately stranded. The
shock was so great that the passengers
were thrown from their berths Thinking
the vessel was doomed they rushed in
their night clothes to the deck. Most Of
the women were hysterical and the men
showed but little more composure.
Captain Layland and the officers went
among the passengers assuring them that
the boat was in no Immediate danger.
The officers were themselves so cool that
the passengers accepted their word and
returned to their state rooms and dressed.
In the meantime the life boats were
launched and the passengers. their cour-
age at last returned were taken ashore
The manning of the life boats called foi
the best seamanship possible as the heavy
sea threatened constantly to overturn the
boat Within two hours. however. the last
Of the passengers had been landed.
Lloyd says that if the fog lifts and the
weather settles it may be possible TO save
the Minnehaha but owing 10 the exposed
position of Bishops Rock. about 80 mile
southwest of Lands End. it is admitte,
that the ships position is pernous. Lnoyd
are in constant communication with tn
Minnehaha by wireless.
The passengers will be brought to Lon
don as soon as possible and sent to Pen
zance.
The Minnehaha was built in Belfast ter
years ago and is OF l3.Hs tons. She i
counted one Of the staunchest boats Of tn
Atlantic Transport Line and was built 70
safety and comfort rather than speed
Bishops Rock has long been shunne
by navigators. The Minnehaha was con
siderably north of her course in the Eng
lish channel to have struck the rock
which is accounted for by the fog.

SCHELY STICKS
BY DIR. COOK
Admiral Says He Believes
Brooklyn Man Discovered
the North Pole
By Unlted Press Leased specIaI VIC.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Dr Fred
erick A. Cook, of Brooklyn and Chill
still has one solid supporter in his
claim to the discovery of the North
Pole in the person Of Rear Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley
When, after careful and painstak-
ing study of the subject 1 reached a
conclusion, and it would take more
than an archimedean lever to move
me-
1t was in that way that 1 studied
the claims of DR.. Cook and have not
changed, and see no reason to change
by belief that he really reached the
North Pole"
In this fashion Schley today dis
posed Of a rumor that he, too, had
abandoned Cook.
1T is my belief he continued. that
both DR.. Cook and Mr.. Peary reached
the pole and / think the best witness
Dr. Cook has of the truth of his story
is Mr.. Peary himself.
/ Il cannot see how any fair-minded
impartial man can read and compare
the written accounts of the two men
of their trip. and of their records and
I observations. without coming to the
conclusion that the one might have
been written by the other and that
they both saw what they described.
There was glory enough. and money
enough for the two. They should
have pooled their isues. instead of get
! ting into so regrettable a controversy.
The trouble with DR.. Cook is pre-
cisely the same as that which has
confronted many others before him
/ The first explorer is always discredit-
ed. When Marco Polo returned from
/ his long residence in India, China and
/ Corea, not even members of his own
| family would believe the tales he told
when Bartholomew Diaz reported
that there was a Cape of Good Hope
and that the Indian ocean was not a
mere clause as had previously been
held, he was hotted with derision'
And when more recently Du Challu
returned from Africa with tales OF
/ finding gorillas and champanzees there
men looked askance and asked what
brand of dope he had been smoking.
Il think the American people are
/ apt TO be a little hysterical at the out
set; but we settle down and get the
right view finally. After they have al
the facts placed before them the
American people are quite capable OF
reaching a correct conclusion without
requiring journey of twelve men. And
/ think it will be so in this case"
Admiral Schley said that he had re-
ceived no letters from, or news OF
DR.. Cook and was unable TO confirm
or deny the reports that the mar
whom he so warmly championed was
| expected to return to this country in
a short time.
