in letter from the governor to

500 PERSONS PERISH
IN RIVER DISASTER

Sinking in 80 feet of water
within Is minutes after being
rammed amidships in the upper
reaches of the st. Lawrence
river early Friday, the Canadian
Pacific liner Empress of Ireland
carried down with her more than
800 of her passengers and crew.
OF the 1857 persons on board
the liner. only 1873 are known to
have been saved. making the
probable death list 934.
Looming up through the river
mists, as the Empress of Ireland
was lying to. waiting for the fog
to lift or day to break, the Dan
ish collier Sterstad crashed bow
on into the side of the big
Canadian liner. striking her
about midway of her length and
ripping her side open clear to the
stern.
The crash occurred not far
from the shore off Father Point,
$50 miles from Quebec, which
the Empress of Ireland left
Thursday afternoon bound for
Liverpool and 10 miles from this
point on the st. Lawrence. In
reality therefore. although the
liner was heading for the sea
and the collier coming in from
it, the disaster was not one of
the ocean but of the river. I'm
like the Titanic's victims, the
Empress of Ireland's victims lost
their lives within sight of shore -
in land-locked waters.
Immediately the ships crew
recovered from the shock of the
collision and when it was seen
that the liner had received n
vital blow Il wireless call was
sounded.
The hurried appeal was picked
up by the Government mail ten
der Lady Evelyn and the
Government pilot boat Eureka at
Father Point, and both set out
to the rescue. So deep was the
hurt of the Empress, however,
and so fast the inrush of waters,
that long before either of the
rescue boats could reach the
scene the liner had gone down.

bersville. is the latest purchaser
