Practically all Of the passengers on
board ship were asleep in their berths
when the vessels came together.
TlImbIed From Berths.
The passengers were first aroused
to the dangers of the disaster when
they were tumbled from their berths
from the impact of the collision. The
Empress of Ireland, which was struck
on the side, was rolled over on her
beam ends. Terrified passengers
rushed to the decks, shouted for life
belts and some of them in the frenzy
of their panic, leaper over the rail into
the sea.
The wireless stations along the coast
not only kept up constant string OF
queries, but the operators were on the
qui vive for any information throwing
light upon the disaster.
AS soon as Captain Walsh got
word of the disaster he began send
ing out wireless messages addressed
to the wireless operator Of the EN-
press of Ireland Message after mes
sage was directed to the operator
and finally Captain Walsh was reluc-
tantly compelled to admit that the
vessel of the disaster received here.
Get More News.
At 3:40 the following message was
picked up:
The Canadian Pacific liner En-
press of Ireland was in collision in
the St Lawrence river with the Han
over OF the Red Star German line"
These were the bare details con-
tanned in that message, but ii was
guessed from the brevity of the de-
spatch that there had been distress
full circumstances or more details
would have been sent.
Five minutes later the Great North
western Telegraph Co. received these
kilograms:
Daylight is breaking. 1 can see
several lifeboats. The government
steamers Eureka and Lady Evelyn and
collier are in the distance. We can
see no trace Of the Empress of Ire
land or the Hanover"
This was followed five minutes lat
er by another message signed by j.
Williams, wireless operator" saying
that 135 or lao had been saved.
Just about the same time Captain
Walsh, head Of the marine depart
ment of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way, received a message stating that
the Empress of Ireland had been in
collision with a ship. Captain Walsh
did not believe the disaster was Sc
rious. as the Empress of Ireland was
designed for safety and had TO be
rammed through two bulkheads be-
fore she would sink
In the meantime marine agencies
all along the coast were striving Tor
details of the disaster and every
scrap OF news strengthened the be-
lief that the disaster would take
heavy toll Of human life.
Golfers Disabled.
The Norwegian collier Storstad,
with which the liner was in collision,

er. made the customary motions for
tho discharge of the convicted man.

AS soon as the date of execution
had been fixed arrangements were
made to take the prisoner TO Ossining

journeys are made by train and the
change of custom for Becker occa-
stoned great surprise.

until the week beginning Monday,
July 6, and upon some day within the
week so appointed. the said agent or
warden of the state prison of the
state of New York at Sing Sing is
to do execution upon
you, Charles Becker. in the mode and
manner prescribed by the laws of

Before Becker was taken TO court

to his wife in the sheriff's office in
the Tombs Mrs. Becker was in tears
and almost collapsed when her hus-
band was led away.
