hours after they were picked up.
EXPLOSIONS FOLLOWED FIRE.
The Columbian caught fire Sunday night
when about 800 miles south Of Cape Race.
series of violent explosions followed AL
most Immediately
Captain Mcdonald gave orders to the
wireless operator, James Drohan to send
out calls for assistance, but one of the
explosions put tho wireless apparatus
out of commission. cutting off the Column
bian from communication with nearby
ocean liners.
With the vessel belchng flames and
torn by explosions it soon became evil
dent that the crew could do nothing to
control the fire and the order to aban-
don ship was given.
The men left the Columbian in two
boats. Chief Steward Matthews was in
charge of the first. This boat put away
from the steamer and lay to for a time,
but in the dense smoke which surround
ed the burning vessel the other boat was
not visible and the stewards boat finally

SUFFERED 90 HOURS.
On their sufferings during the 10 hours
IN which they We're tossed about and of
the death Of Chief Steward Matthews
during this time, the men could say little
when they were brought on 80 the decks
of the Franconia.
Food and sleep were matters of first
consideration and although sympathetic
passengers were ready with offers of as
sistance to the shipwrecked ones, Captain
Miller of the Franconia saw to it that
they were first given the required rest.
Having learned that another boat with
10 men, probably including Captain Nc
Donald was still missing and supposedly
adrift, Captain Miller ordered the Fran
coma turned about on a searching cruise.
No trace of the second boat had been
obtained late tonight.

The survivors were so exhausted by
their experience that they could tell
little Of what had happened and steam
ship officials expressed the opinion that
the omission in the wireless messages of
mention of the captain might be laid to
this fact.
After rescuing the occupants of the
first boat, the Franconia searched until
nightfall for the rest of the crew but
without result. Then Captain Miller Of
the Cunarder sent word ashore that he
had given up the search, and would pro-
coed for Boston with the survivors and
his 1733 passengers. He said he expect
cd to arrive at he Boston lightship at
midnight Wednesday.
Search for the missing men of the
Columbian has not been given up,
however. Before turning for his des-
tiration Captain Miller had notified
the steamers Manhattan and Haver-
ford, both eastbound, of the missing
boats, and they sent word that they
had changed their courses and were
heading toward the burning steamer.
The Columbian was owned by the
LcYland line, but was chartered to tho
Phoenix line for a voyage from Ant
werp to New York. She carried no
passengers.
The latest word Of her came to-day
from the north German Lloyd liner
Seydlitz, which had stood by for %
hours. saying that the vessel was
afame throughout and that the fun
mel and foremost had gone by the
board.
On Board Francona via Sable Islard,
