liner, had been crushed to death in the
Storstad's impact with her, or had
been forced from exhaustion and ex-
posture in the ice-chilled northern
waters to loose their hold on bits of
wreckage that had supported them and
had drowned.
Rescued Only to Die.
Only a few persons were picked up
by the Storstad, which was badly Grip

were brought here by the collier, to-

Accounts agree that in the brief
space of time not more than IA min
utes-between the shock Of the col
lision and the sinking of the liner
there was little chance for systematic
marshaling of the passengers. Every
thing indicates that hundreds of those
on the steamer probably never reached
the decks.
Sank Quickly.
So quickly did the Empress sink
that those passengers fortunate
enough to get into the lifeboats found
themselves CARRIED only in their night
clothes. No baggage was saved.
The condition of the survivors was
pitiable. Some had broken arms anG
legs and all had suffered terribly. L
e. Gossetin, a prominent lawyer from
Montreal, saved himself by clinging te
a raft. When the rescue ships docked
here the station platform was con
verified into a hospital and the towns

united in a common effort to aid th'
sufferers.
