ALL PASSENGERS AND CREW OF THE STEAMER co6EoUiD
 SAVED BY REscUERs.
WAS A TIMETABLE TRIUMPH
Over the Angry Seas and the Most Notable Rescue Ever AccompIished on Atlantic Coast-Heavy Seas I'm. peded Work of Resuce.

Yarmouth, N. S., Jan. 15.-Snatch ed from what seemed almost certain death, passengers and crew of the royal mail packet Cobequid tonight are snug in Yarmouth harbor.
 Wireless appeals for assistance which she had first made thirty-six hours before were answered late to day, as the doomed vessel was being racked to pieces on Trinity Rock, six miles off Port Maitland. The rescue will go down in shipping annals as one of the most notable ever accom-. plished on the Atlantic coast.
 The Cobequid had begun to break up under the pounding of the terrific seas that had been merciless from Uae time the vessel struck early yes terday. Quantities of the cargo GOV cred the waters as the lifeboats rang. ed alongside. The costal steamers Westport and John l.. Cam were frs. to get their smal boats into the wa. ter and they were followed soon by boats of the government steamer Landsdowne and the steamer Kappa hammock As the work of rescue pro gressed the seas subsided and no mis- hap marred the triumph over the waves
 Capt McKinnon of the Westport found the liner on Trinity Ledge at 4:20 o'clock this afternoon. At sas time there was a high wind ans A rough sea. He took off in three life. boat loads seventy4wo persons, in cluding all passengers, he puTser several deck officers and part of the crew.
 The Westport stood by until 6:15 o'clock. when the John l.. Cam came up. The latter took off twenty-four men, as the Westport was leaving for Yarmouth. The captain and eleven men of the crew decided to remain on the ship until morning and the government steamer Landsdowne re mained by with them.
 The Westport arrived at Yarmouth at o'clock and the John L. Cam followed her in.
 The Cobequid's stearn was not broken, as reported. according to the account given by Capt. McKinnon In fact, the afrer part was highest out of the water.
 The los persons on the Cobequid included twelve frst-class passengers and an equal number in the second class. Mrs w c. Zoler and neI child were the first to go over the side Then followed Misses Marguer ite and Dorothy James, daughters oi the late R. H. James, mayor Of St Georges, Bermuda, and two sister of charity
 Preparations had been made here to care for the shipwrecked persons and they were given every comfort the city afforded.
 Trinity Rock, on which the Cope quid was transhxed at a. m. yester day. was a pinnacle of granite rising abruptly from the sea half way be tween this port and Brier Island where the steamer was at firs  thought to have struck, The famous l.urcher shoal, which is indicated pS lightship, lies ten miles outside Trinity Rock, while the course up th' bay sof Fundy takes vessels still fur ther off shore.
 The bay was swept by typlca western blizzard as the Cobequid bound from the tropics, began to feel her way toward St. John. 1h' last of the ebb tide was running ant the wind was strong from the west conditions which tended to drive th' steamer closer to the eastern shor' than her skipper anticipated.
 The crash came just before daWl and a few minutes later the wire less "S. O. S" was flashing out. I'm Cobeequid's operator was unable t give her location for no one on boar knew it. Four hours later flood tld and gales had driven the steame still farther on the rock, breaKin her back and flooding the engln room. This put out the fires and IT terrupted the wireless apparatus
 The passengers were greatly alarn ed but the courage of Capt. Hawso and his abiding faith in his snip r' assured them. The steamer mau water rapidly and the cargo began | tear away. Throughout the day an the night that followed the ofhcer scanned the sea for passing craft an
