Empress of ireland Sunk in Col

River.
ONLY 20 WOMEN ARE SAVED
Graft Coca Through Center OF Vessel
and Rips It Open From MIdships
to stern-AMen, Women and
Children Struggle for life
While Waiting to Be
Rescued.

Quebec, May 30.-A train with 3S1
survivors Of the lost Canadian Pacific
steamship Empress of Ireland arrived
here from Rimouski shortly before
eight O'Clock last Thursday night.
Thirty-seyen wounded were left at
Riniouski.
These are all that live of the 1887
who sailed from here Thursday after
noon bound for Liverpool on the queen
vessel of famous feet. The ship
sailed out of sunlit harbor into the
fog of Father Point, where the rip
ping prov of the collier Storstad
struck the death blow in the dark.
The lost number 969.
2o6 of Crew Are Saved.
or the living 2O6 are members of
the crew.
or the living only 20 are women:
two are children.
Thus the story of the most terrible
disaster in the history of Canadian
navigation is written more grimly,
more wildly in hard figures than it
could ever be in words.
How the hundreds of strong men
OF the crew were saved while the hun
dreds of weak women and children
persisted only the Imagination can
fathom now.
Not even the survivors can fully
picture the 19-minute death throe OF
the riven ship-the passengers wax
ened in the dead OF night either to be
crushed by the invading PROV of the
Storstad, drowned in the rush of wa
tiers or to drag themselves to the list
Ing deck, where panic reigned, where
shriekB OF terror and of pain made an
inferno under the shrouding mist. The
battle that surged about the life
boats that had not been shattered in
the crash, the cruel triumph of the
strong over the weak--let the hard fig
ures tell II. They alone can.
One Of the matters on which the
rescued agree is that Captain Ander-
son OF the Storstad backed his vessel
out of the hole she had dug into the
Empress side, nursing her own bent
prov despite the shouted pleas OF
Captain Kendall that he hold fast to
the wreck
Water Rushes In.
AS the collier backed away the wa
ter rush listed the Empress so that
all her lifeboats on the portside were
useless
The Storstad, moreover, having nc
mortal damage and lying in river
that was ruffied only by the strewr
forms of the drowning, the wounded
