ships, had time only to seize life pre-
servers. Only few could jump over

with water. The cook had just
sounded the second call for breakfast
on the Goodyear when the crash came
and many were in the messroom.
All rushed on deck and then the boat
began to sink. Several jumped into
the water and managed to get out OF
reach of the boat. which was filling
fast.
Suddenly the Goodyear parted in
/ the center and with a sound which
could be heard above the whistling of
the Wood, sank out of sight, carrying
with it all except five on board.
The bow of the Wood was stove in,
but she rested on her bulkhead, and,
although some water flowed into the
hold, was kept afloat with the pumps.
Captain Gibson of the Wood ordered
the lifeboats lowered and gave the
crew instructions to make every pos,
sible effort to save any of the sail
ors of the sinking steamer.
