Among Those Missing
In Tragedy
COLLISION IN FOG
British Ship Egypt Rammed by
French Vessel and Sinks In Twenty
Minutes.

Brest. France. May 22.-Ninety
persons are believed to have periShed
Saturday night when the Peninsular
& Orient Line steamer sank off the
Island of Oshant after a collision with
the French freight steamer La Seyne'
Two American women, Mrs. NJ. l..
Sibley and Miss V. NJ. Boyer are
among the missing. according to the
Peninsular and Oriental Line. Their
home addresses are not known to the
company.
B.F. Bevan, another American, was
saved
The Egypt sailed from London for
Bombay Friday with 3S passengers
and crew of $50. A roll call on
board the Seine after the disaster
showed that at least 10 of the passen-
gers and so of the crew of the Egypt
were missing.
1t was said late last night that there
might be more survivors of the disas-
ter. since the steamer Cap lracon was
nine miles away at the time of the col
lision and hurried to the spot and may
have picked up some of those in the
water who were missed by the small
boats of the Seine
The collision occurred during a
dense fog within % miles of the Ar
men Lighthouse. The dinner gong
was about to be sounded on board the
Egypt. Many of the passengers and
most of the crew were on deck. The
shock threw several persons into the
sea; others jumped and number
went down with the ship, which sank
in 20 minutes. The Egypt was
rammed amidship on the port side.
The La Seyne, badly damaged,
reached Brest yesterday with % res
cued passengers, more than 200 of
the crew and the bodies of 20 dead.
The captain of the Egypt is among
the saved.
