Great Ocean Liner Sinks
Tragedy Rivals Titanic Disaster

is capable OF carrying 1000 tons deaQ
weight. 1t has been engaged for some
time carrying coal between sydney,
Quebec and Montreal. 1t had a crew
of about forty-eight men.
Location of Tragedy.
Father Point, near which the COLI.
sion occurred. is 100 miles down the
st. Lawrence river from Quebec at the
head of the Gulf of st. Lawrence.
The residents of Rimouski, number
ing 5000, came silently to the dock
where the dead and exhausted living
were being landed, and under the di-
rection OF the mayor, II. r. Fiset. gave
whatever aid possible. Every doctor
in the town was on the scene. and
many of the injured were taken TO pri-
vate homes.
Garments For Injured.
From cedar chests and closets the
towns folk brought garments of all
descriptions for those who had lost
their belongings. Two headquarters
were established at the wharf and at
the station of the lntercolonial rail
way. AT the station those injured and
not removed to homes were cared for
The rescue boats, Eureka and Lady
Evelyn, found on reaching the point
where the Empress sank, a scene not
unsimilar to that which greeted the
liners which rushed to the THAMES
aid. They found the ship sunk and
the surface of the water, fortunately
calm. dotted with lifeboats and smear.
ed with floating debris.
Survivors HudGIed in Lifeboats.
In the lifeboats were huddled the
survivors, daZed and moaning. some
then dying of injuries sustained in the
crash or in the rush of leaving the
sinking Empress. Few could give any
but incoherent. almost hysterical ac.
counts of what happened.
First reports had it that the collier
Storstadt had also sunk. These proved
to be incorrect. Though her bow was
badly damaged the Storstadt was able
to keep aflOat.

SHIP
IS CRUSHED IN ICE
THE kARLUk WAS LOST ON
JANUARY 10, SAYS REPORT
OF CAPTAIN BARTLETT.
PARTY ON WRANGEL ISLAND
Arctic Explorers Marooned, but Food
Supply is Said 10 be Abundant
Explorer at Mouth of Nc
Kenzie River.

New York. June 1.-The Karluk,
which carried the Stefansson eXpedi-
ton 10 the Arctic, was crushed in the
ice last January, according 10 a mes
sage received here from ST. Michaels,
Alaska.
Crew Still Marooned.
The crew is marooned on Wrangel
island.
The message announcing the fate Of
the Karluk read as follows:
"Karluk crushed in ice January, 60
miles OF Herlad island. Bartlett ar
rived here. Whaler Herman Of 81
IBERIA sending assistant TO crew on
Wrangel Island
This message was addressed 10
Herman Bridgman, OF Brooklyn, long
interested in Arctic exploration work.
Bartlett with Peary.
The Bartlett referred TO is Captain
Robert Bartlett. who commanded
Pearys ship. Roosevelt, and later as
sumed command Of the Karluk.
Captain Bartlett made his way
across the frozen ice TO North Cape,
Siberia and then proceeded overland
TO Whaler Bay Siberia. There he
was taken on board the Whaler Her
man. which carried him TO St. Michael,
where he now is.
II is assured by authorities on the
Arctic that when the ice closed on
the Karluk last January the "a men
IN board got their supplies out on the
ice, along with the dog teams and
were able &c reach land we'll equipped
for the remainder of the winter. 1t is
assumed too as soon as the days be-
came sufficiently long to permit of
travel. Bartlett, accompanied probably
by some of the five Esquimos on board
set out for Behring sea. The frozen
sea was quite safe for travel. 1t is
assumed that he drove his dogs over
Siberia from North Cape to Whaler
Bay, on the Behring sea shore of ST
IBERIA, where he met the whaler Her
man. which sailed from San Fran
cisco about March 25. The Herman
took him to st. Michael, where there
Is a cable station.
AS to Explorer ~Stefansson.
Stefansson is at the mouth of the
Mckenzie river, having left the Kar-
LUX, Sept. 10 to hunt caribou ashore.
When be returned to the point where
he had come ashore, he found that
the Karluk had been blown away by
a storm. About October ), an Eskimo,
saw her driving westward. 1t is ap.
parent that the westward drift con
tinued until the shipwreck. 1t will
not be possible to send dog teams to
Herald island now, for the ice is rot
ting. There were 10 white men on
the Karluk and five Eskimos. 1t is
supposed Is white men remain in the
camp of the castaway.

A Tremendous Explosion.
The horror of the interval during
which the Empress of Ireland was
rapidly filling and the frightened
throngs on board her were hurrying
every effort to escape before she sank,
was added to by a tremendous eXplo-
sion which quickly followed the rip
ping and tearing given the liner by the
Storstad's bow. According to one of
the rescued, the explosion. probably
caused by the water reaching the
boilers, bulged the liners sides and
catapulted people from her deck into
the sea.

pouring in weighted her on the side

she finally took her plunge to the
bottom scores still left on her decks
were carried down in the vortex, only

and find support on pieces of wreck
age.
Captain Bore Himself Well.
From all accounts, Captain II. G..
Kendall Of the Empress of Ireland bore
himself like a true sailor as long as
his ship stood under him. He retain
ed such command of the situation, it
appears, that while the Storstad's
stem still hung in the cash it had
made in the Empress's side. Captain
Kendall begged the master of the col
lier to keep his propellors going so
that the hole might remain plugged.
The Storstad, however. dropped back
and the Empress filed and foundered.
Captain Kendall stood on his bridge
as the ship went down. One of the
boats from the liner picked him up
and he directed its work of saving
others until the craft was loaded.
The captain was injured in the crash
and suffered from exposure, but his
hurts are not dangerous and his speedy
recovery is expected.
