the water. Tho CObeQu:d was badly
iced up. The gas buoy on Trinity Ledge
was reported by Captain McKinnon
as being In position but badly iced.
which might make It Of little use in
q snow storm.
The 1OS persons on the Cobequid in
cluded twelve first cabin passengers
and an equal number In the second
class. Mrs. w. c. Zoller and her child
were the frst to 60 over the side. Then
followed Miss Marguerite and Miss
Dorothy James, daughters OF the late
r. H. James, mayor OF st. Georges,
Bermuda and two sisters Of charity.
One by one the passengers were low
cred to lifeboats until only Captain
Hawson and eleven men remained on
the deck. Preparations had been made
here to care for the shipwrecked ones
and they were given every comfort
the city afforded.
In Terrible Danger.
Trinity Rock. on which the Cobequid
was transf1xed at a. M. Tuesday
abruptly from the sea half way be-
tween this port and Brier Island, where
the steamer was at first thought to
low water. The famous Lurcher shoaI.
which is indicated by a lightship, lies
ten miles outside Trinity Rock, while
the course up the Bay Of Fundy takes
vessels still farther on shore.
The bay was swept by blizzard as
the Cobequid, bound from the tropics
began to feel her way toward st. John.
The last of the ebb tide was running
and the wind was strong from the west
conditions which tended to drive the
steamer closer to the eastern shore
than her skipper anticipated.
The crash came Just before dawn
and few minutes later the wireless
rs. o. S." was flashing over the angry
waves. The Cobequid's operator was
unable to give her location for no one
on board knew 1t definitely. Four hours
later flood tide and gales had driven
the steamer still farther on the rock,
breaking her back and flooding the en-
gine room. This put out the fires and
interrupted the wireless apparatus.
When 1t was seen that the Cobequid
would be total loss the captain and
men who remained on board aban-
doned her and were taken to st. Johns
on the government steamer Lans-
dOwne.
Owner Tells Of Wreck.
William c. Kenny, an official Of the
company owning the Cobequid, who
was on board at the time of the wreck
said today:
NO one was to blame for the loss OF
the ship. The weather conditions were
against us. The position of the ship
for the first twelve hours after strik-
ing was critical. the bottom breaking
eventually.
"she lost her steam and consequently
we were without lights on fire. Until
We left the ship we were in the cap
tain's and ladies' rooms and a few in
the smoking rooms living on buscuits
and corn meal. The discipline of the
crew was excellent, and there was ne
sign OF panic or characterization"
{ The officers and pasf ,ngers of til.
ship probably will remain here a few
days.

CRISIS NEAR IN ALBANIA

Situation Far More Grave Than Off.
eiaiIy Acknowledged by European
Pewsrs-6srmany Urges lntsrvsn.
tion by Austria and ltaIy-Tursey
Determined 70 Use Albania a. Cen.
tsr Of Disturbances.
Berne. Switzerland, Jan. 15.-The
situation in Albania Is much more
grave than is generally known or ofric-
Tally acknowledged by the powers, ac-
cording to authoritative information
from diplomatic circles. The various
governments are directing their efforts
10 prevent another war in the Balkans.
Ihe tension is considered TO b. great
er at the present moment than at any
time during or preceding the recent
Balkan wars and is said to have
reached such point that Germany
has proposed joint Austrian and Ital-
Ian military Intervention in Albania.
Germany has suggested that tho
o1spatch OF mixed army Of Austrian
and Italian troops into Albania in order
to avoid the difficulty of deciding
which part Of Albanian territory should
be occupied by Austria and which by
Italy.
The suggested Intervention is the
reason why Italy and Austria have re-
Gently concentrated their warships
along the Albanian coast. Both ma
tons, however, hesitate to follow Ger
man advices as they fear complications.
They are also restrained by anxiety as
to what might happen in their respec-
tive countries where a costly expedition
into Albania would be unpopular as it
would bring little or no return to
either Of them.
The European governments have
proof that the Mussulmans, both in
Constanttnople and Albania, prepared
raising in favor Of placing Ixxet Pasha,
formerly Turkish minister OF war. on
tho throne Of Albania This object
was frustrated by the arrest on Jan
8. Of six Turkish officers and goo
soldiers when they arrived at Avlona
the Albanian seaport from Constant
nople. Evidence also has been obtained
by tho powers that the Musselman'a
are determined to use Albania as a CEN
ter Of disturbances which will radiate
from there to other parts Of the Bal
kans especially to Greece against which
Turkeys resentment is particularly
directed,

Owners Disersdit Reports.

New York. Jan. 15.-Officials Of the
West Virginia Pulp and Paper Com
pany here gave little credencs to the
report that their dam near Dobbin, w.
Va, was in danger. The company re-
ceived word today from their plant at
Piedmont. w. Va. nifty miles north Of
the dam, that rumors were current
there that the dam had broken yes
terday, but were not borne out. On the
contrary it was said that the water
in the river at that point was very
low.
The officials believed the rumors
grew out Of the fact that two large
gates of the dam had been opened to
insure sufficient water for the Pied
mont plant
The country below the dam, It was
said here, is practically uninhabited
for fifty miles except for a small set
tlement at a railway station twent,e
Ave miles distant.
