and the dead. picked up but a few OF
those who were taken to the hospital
at Rimouski.
II was the government mail steam
er Evelyn and the pilot boat Eureka,
which had to run all the way from F'a-
Tier Point, that did the big work Of
rescue
a strict investigation is to be imme-
diately begun.
There was no time"
That is the phrase used by every
survivor in trying to tell something of
what happened. There was no time
to rouse the people; no time to cry;
Women and children first.
Captain Kendall, one of the most
able and trusted shippers of the line
a man who had captured Doctor
Crippen, the murderer, and had served
for many years without mishap at
10 minutes.
Gathered piecemeal from survivors
the horrors Of this wreck grows with
the telling.
The doomed ones had little time
even to pray, They were engulfed by
the onrushing waters that swallowed
the big ship.
The wireless operators on the EN-
press. sticking to their posts to the
last, had time only to send few s.
0. S." calls for help when the rising
waters silenced their instruments
That silence told the rescuers miles
away more potently than a bugle that
DOOM had overtaken the ship.
Only six hours before this fateful
collision the passengers sang as a
goodnight hymn God Be With You
Tel We Meet Again" played by the
Salvation Army band on board.
Survivors Tell of Fog.
1t was foggy, according to survivors,
when the Empress Of Ireland, a steel
hulled, teel-bulkheaded ship of more
than eight thousand tons left Quebec
at 4:30 Thursday afternoon in com
mand of H. G. Kendall of the Royal
Naval Reserve, one Of the most skilled
of transatlantic navigators.
Forest fires also obscured the at
mosphere and the big ship, in charge
of a Lilot, proceeded slowly on her
way to sea. At midnight the pilot left
near Father Point, shouting a merry
bon voyage" as he went down lad

tense and the ship under the slowest
speed possible with steerageway held
her course. Her decks were deserted.
The passengers had all sought their
berJhs with no thought of impending
death.
Out Of the darkness, on the port
side, soon after $3.50 in the morning,
there ioomed the little Norwegian col
lier, not half the size of the Empress,
but fated to be her destroyer.
Not until the collier was almost
abeam of the big liner was the danger
known on either ship. The fog had
blotted out the 'steaming" lights as
well as the port and starboard lights
of both ships.
Quick orders trumpeted on both
vessels were heard. But they came
all too late.
The steel-pointed prov of the Stors-
tad struck the liner amidships and
then forged aft, ripping and tearing
it's way through the Empress of Ire
land.
Clear to the stern of the Empress of
| Ireland was this great steel shaving
cut from her side,, from the top of the
hull to far below the water line Into
that rent the water poured with the

of the ship. killing passengers sleep

small.

most distressing charges. There is a

This paper will most certainly give
currency to your charges.
Noting the above question, it Is
most earnestly to be hoped that a
revival Of religion is at hand. Chris

The agitation Of the political is#Nc.
prohibition, uadcr the guise Of moral

Lord endorsed wine, not grape juice,
