Officer Tells the Story.

The effort TO get a clear, connected
story Of the wreck from the passengers
and crew was not very fruitful, for all
were still dazed and affected by the
cold From one OF the officers this &C
count Of what happened was had:
We were trying to locate the light
ship off Lurcher Shoal. ten miles of
Trinity Ledge. Vessels going up by the
bay veer far west OF that lightship
The storm was so binding we could not
pick our way with assurance. and while
We were trying to figure our course we
struck. 1t was g o'clock Yesterday
morning. So far off were we from the
beaten track that We could not name
our location.
ct was low tide then All Of the
passengers were very much excited,
and we quickly got busy telling that
help would soon be AT hand. The wire
less was shooting out call then. and
we were confident that we wouldn't
have 10 wait long for aid, but when the
tide rose anC the wind strengthened II
walloped us higher up on the rocks and
sent water into the engine room. That
stopped the dynamo. and, Of course, the
lighting system and the wireless were
Immediately out OF commission.
Realizing the handicap the fear Of
the passengers increased, and though
we told them everything would be
Strengthened out they could read in our
faces that we didn't know just where
we were. But Captain Howson made It
apparent that unless the vessel were
pounded 10 pieces. which didn't seem
likely at that time. we could hold out a
long while, and that in time rescuers
would certainly find us.
I'VE knew that the short Hash for
help had been picked up by the Cape
Sable station. for our operator could
catch the return messages asking us TO
give our whereabouts. and we depend
ed on a search TO find us. Meanwhile
the operator and his assistant tried 10
tx things by employing the auxiliary
storage batteries, but a gale carried
away the deck connections Of the
aerials. Then temporary connection
was made. but that broke down, and
when another attempt was made the
batteries had become so weak that we
knew the call couldn't get ninety miles
to the Cape Sable station.
A Ma6dening Situation.
1T was a maddening situation. FOR
our operator could pick up the mes
cages flashing TO and from other sta
tons asking about MS, and We couldn't
do anything To help ourselves.
And, ia addition. We learned that
search was being made in the wrong
place, around Brier Island. forty miles
from US"
Many OF the survivors had 10 he car
ried from the rescue ships through the
streets 10 hospitals and hotels, where
they were fed and treated for frost
bites and swollen arms and legs caused
by exposure.
The full passenger list OF the Ccbs-
quid has not yet been made known
here. The vessel was concluding her
first trip from 81. John, y. H., TO the
r..
