DROWN
Atlantic Liners Collide; One Sinks
Within Ten Minutes.
Many Chamber Up Side As Vessel
Rolls Over = Dense Fog Is
Cause of Mishap.

Norfolk, Va.-The story Of how 43
persons went down to death in the
chill waters Of the Atlantic when the
liner Nantucket rammed and sank the
steamer Monroe was brought to port
Saturday by the 80 survivors of the
sunken ship, who were rescued and
brought to shore by the Nantucket.
1t was story Of awful and sudden
death, sweeping out of the dark and
fog and taking unawares the doomed
half hundred with the heaviness Of
sleep still on them 1t told how the
stricken Monroe, with her side gored
deep by the knife-like steel prov Of
the Nantucket, filled rapidly, rolled
over on her side, and in few minutes
turned over and plunged to the bottom,
carrying with her the passengers and
members of the crew who had failed
to get clear of the wreck.
The revised lists prepared by Cap
tain Johnson, who survived the sunken
vessel, showed:
Lost = Passengers, 10; crew, %;
total, al.
Saved - Passengers, 80; crew, 60;
total, 80.
Under the thick bank of fog that
hid the heavily running sea, both big
ships were making their way slowly
and with difficulty in the early morn
ing. The Monroe, with Captain John
son on the bridge and double lookout
peering into the fog ahead, was edg-
ing under half speed to the northward,
having left Norfolk for New York
Friday night with nerve-rackine
fog-bound voyage in prospect. The
Nantucket, heavily laden with freight
and with only two passengers aboard
was nosing her way southwark, boune
from Boston to Norfolk
The crash came about l 40 without
warning. Out of the gray black fol
that shut out even the waves from
view, the CLEAN of the Nantucket
searchlight scarcely touched the sid
of the Monroe before the high stee
Prov of the southwark bound vesse
cut into the Monroe's side with rip
ping and crashing Of plates that threw
the stricken ship aback. The Nan
tucket, with her bow crushed in
backed out of sight in the fog, as Cap
tain Johnson, seeing that his vesse
was fatally stricken, shouted an orde
for the life-boats.
Meantime the Nantucket, hersel
badly damaged, had stood by and Car
tain Berry had aroused his sleepin
crew. AS the Intellectual rays Of tn
; searchlight failed to pierce the Dlanke
/ of fog, Captain Berry ordered out hi
, life-boats and one by one they slippe

Relative Values.

the professor to the delight of the

Shortly afterward the young man

NAY CIRCLE EARTH
AViat0Ts to Have Chance to Win
100000 in Cash Prizes.
Time Limit of 80 Days-Start From
San Francisco in May, 1915
Feat Is Possible.

San Francisco = Three hundred
Thousand dollars and perhaps more will
be offered in prizes to aeronauts who
race around the world in any type Of
motor-driven air craft under the aus
pieces Of the Panama Pacific Interna-
tional exposition company. OF this
sum $3.50, 900 will be offered direct by
the exposition company and subscrip-
ton arrangements on foot for secur-
ing the remainder are said to indicate
an even larger sum than $500, 900.
1t is said to be the largest prize
fund ever offered for a single sporting
event.
The race, the climax of the worlds
aeronautical activities thus far, is to
start early in May, $l915-
Contestants will have 80 days in
which to make the flight of approx
mately 1000 miles around the globe.
The race is to start and finish ON the
grounds of the Panama Pacific EXPOSE
ton and the course lies east from San
Francisco.
The route as now outlined crosses
the Atlantic Ocean, England, France,
Germany, Russia, Japan and the Pa
cific Ocean, touching the worlds larg-
est capitals, the Arctics, the sub-trop-
les of the Orient, and the Siberian
wastes. Specifically the line runs
from San Francisco through Reno,
New, Cheyenne, Wyo., from there
either to Kansas City, st. Louis, oil
Chicago, ON to New York
The Atlantic Ocean is conceded tt
be the most formidable stretch in the
race. 1t will be essayed from Belle
Isle, a small point between Newfound
land and Labrador. Cape Farewell
Greenland, the next stop, barring I
drop into the water, 6l0 miles away
and from Cape Farewell to Reyjavik
Iceland, is $40 miles further. On
more jump to Storaaway, in the He
brides is $40 miles, and the Atlantic
has been crossed.
That none of these three distances
is impossible, aero experts assert, il
