Steamer Clyoe
Fast on the Rocks.

ST. Johns. n r., Nov. 5-While MAXI
ing her weekly trip northerly from Lew
isport yesterday, the Reid New Found
land Cos. mail steamer Clyde struck a
rock near the mouth of the harbor at
Little Bay, on the northeast coast. AL
though apparently not seriously dam
aged. the Clyde was unable to get off
the rocks unassisted and. today, her sis
ter ship Dundee and the steamer Pros
pero made an unsuccessful effort to di5-
lodge her. The British cruiser Brilliant
has been dispatched from this port and
ii IS hoped that the Clyde can be foated
on the midnight tide. 1t is not known
here how many passengers the Clyde
carried, II any. on this trip.
Details of the strandlng of the steam
er are meagre. 1t has been learned that
there We're large number of passen-
gers aboard, but since no word to the
contrary has been received, 1t Is pre-
sumed that all reached shore In safety
or that they are safe on board. Thick
weather prevailed when the Clyde went
on the rocks last night The Clyde is
one of the finest steamers in the Reid
New Foundland service.
1t will take the cruiser Brilliant about
30 hours to reach the scene, so that she
cannot arrive until some time tomorrow.
