ATLANTIC TRANSPORT LINER MIN
NEHAHA STRIKES SUBMERGED
REEF NEAR ENGLAND.
ALL PASSENGERS ARE SAFE.
Sixty-six Rudely Awakened and Are
Considerably Alarmed, but None
Suffers Harm.
LARGE PART OF CARGO REMOVED.

HUGH TOWN. ST. Marys, Sicily Is
lands, April 1S.-The steamer Mime
haha of the Atlantic Transport line,
struck on the submerged rocks near Bish-
op rock at > o'clock this morning. Her
passengers were removed in safety. The
vessel is badly damaged.
The Minnehaha, Capt. Layland, from
New York for London, was feeling her
way cautiously towards the English
channel through dense fog that OBJ
scured the light on Bishop rock ana led
her to approach too near the dangerous
coast of the Scilly islands. When the
Minnehaha hit the rocks she tore II big
hole amdshlps, and this morning she had
several feet of water in her foreholds.
The siXty-s'X passengers, rudely awak-
ened. were considerably alarmed for Il
time. but were treasured by the officers
and 50 far as has been learned here.
suffered no harm. Scarcely had the
steamer climbed upon the rocks when
Rrgent wireless messages were being sent
10 the Lloyd'S signal station at the Liz
ard. from which point they We're passed
Jn to Falmouth. Signals Of distress also
were picked up on the islands, and In
short time tishcrmen's boats had put
out TO the wreck These boats took off
the passengers and landed them at Bry-
ler, where they were made rs comfort
able as the resources of the little island
permitted, pending the arrival of a
steamer, which had been dispatched 10
lake them to Pena2nce. whence they will
be taken by special train to London.
Capt. Layland and his crew stood by
the vessel, which at daylight showed Il
slight list TO port As soon as the pas
sengerS were sent away, the work of
Tightening the cargo was begun and the
major portion of 1t was taken ashore.
An early examination of the engines and
boiler rooms appeared to show that their
equipments were intact and that the
damage to the vessel was limited to the
forward holds.
The Minnehaha struck at almost the
identical spot where her namesake.a sail
ing ship. was driven ashore some thirty
seven years ago.
In the emergency, the behavior of all
on board the liner could not have been
better. The lifeboats We're swung out
promptly at the first shock and then
Capt. Layland, the officers and crew
passed among the passengers, who had
hurriedly rushed on deck in the clothing
IN which they had slept quieting their
fears and perSuading them to return to
their cabins and dress themselves warm
