RUSSIA VOTES TO ACCEPT new HUN TERMS


Chief Officer James, Marconi Operator
Garter, two seamen and John Kelly,
a passenger, We're among the sur
vivors.
Among the passengers who en-
barked at st. Johns was John Shan
non Mum. managing director OF the
line and his S-year- old daughter. six
cadets of the royal flying corps. Major
Michael Sullivan. commander Of the
Newfoundland forestry battalion. and
a number of prominent Newfoundland
business men.
Sailed in Face Of Blizzard.
The Floriel sailed from here at
o'clock Saturday night with large
number Of passengers and a cargo
which included 10.50O barrels Of dry
Goldfish and herring for New York and
1900 barrels for Halifax, her only port
Of call between st. Johns and New
York. The ship herself was valued at
s1.ooo,0o0.
A blizzard was brewing when she
left and it grew worse toward mid
night, but abated in the early
morning hours. The F'lorizel would
have had to proceed southwark along
the coast toward Cape Race about
sixty miles distant. Mariners here
think she probably put her head sea-
ward to ride out the storm and that
when the wind abated somewhat tow
ard morning her commander. thinking
he had passed south Of Cape Race,
turned westward.
Ono Distress Message.

about a. m. She sent one wire
less message of distress which was re-
ceived at the Cape Race radio sta
tion, saying that she was aground and
in imminent danger of destruction.
Her wireless apparatus worked halt
ingly and soon was silent.
Nothing further was heard from her
and as the cove Is a remote and sparse
ly settled district 1t was not until late
in the forenoon that a rescue party
reached the scene. They discovered
the Florizel lying we'll in shore and
subjected to a merciless pounding by
the heavy seas.
Small boats could not live in the surf
and efforts to escape from the ship
were hopeless, while in the alb
SGence OF HE saving equipment, no as
sistance could be given from shore.
Men could be seen on the bridges
signalling for help and some lashed
themselves to the rigging.
Sinking Dramatic.
Gradually. under the buffeting Of
the waves the hull dropped from
view and after a few hours the ves-
sci was almost submerged while men
in the rigging still signalled frantlcally,
bat hopelessly for aid. While tnc
watchers. looked on the bodies OF five
men and a woman came ashore. Four
were identified as those OF Edgar
Froude, Kean. Snow and Long, The
other bodies had not been Identified
last night Meanwhile, arrangements
had been made here to send the Terra
Nova. sailing vessel. to the aid Of
the Florizel. and a special train carry
Ing physicians, nurses and supplies
was made up and dispatched to the
point nearest the scene Of the wreck.
