The collision occurred during a
 dense fog within 22 miles of the
 Armen 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 sen,
 others jumped and number
 went down with the ship, which
 sank in 20 minutes. The Egypt
 was rammcd amidship on the port
 side.
 The Seine, badly damaged, reached Brest today with 3s rescued passen- gers. more than 200 of the crew and the bodies of 20 dead. The Captain of the Egypt Is among the saved.
 When the collision occurred there was a rolling sea. Some of those rescued charge that the Indian sailors on board the Egypt took to the life boats immediately the vessels crashed so that large number of the crew and passengers had to shift for themselves.
 Those who jumped Into the sea and who could swim scrambled abot [ for bits of wreckage to which they might eftng. Many Of these were rescued. They floated about in the fog after the Egypt went down, call ing for help. The sound of their voices directed members of the crew of the Seine in small boats who were patTolling the sea, picking Ip both living and dead
 In some instances the rescurers
 came upon persons clinging t.
 bits of debris who let go and
 sank Just as aid was at hand.
 The small boats on numerous oc-
 cnsions sought vninIy in the fog
 to locate persons lifting cries of
 distress through the fog. Among
 the known missing arc the doctor
 and chief engineer of the Egypt.
 The Egypt was a vessel of S,h0e tons. The Seine was bound for Hasre when the disaster occurred.
 Captain LeBarzic of the Seine in describing the disaster said:
 T was at my post on the upper bridge Saturday evening at o'clock, 15 miles from Marmet light. The sea was calm with a slight swell. The fog was very dense. l was listening for fog horns and proceeding at the slow speed of five knots.
 Tn less .ime than 1t takes to tell. a great steamer emerged from the fog. It struck my ship and tore away the forward works and moved on at great speed. l immediately ordered our engines reversed.
 T saw nothing further. But then I began to hear cries of horror that told me of catastrophe. I went Tn search of the stricken vessel in ,he fog and darkness. l found her in 20 minutes.
 She lay on her port side, ready to turn over. Water was pouring Into n long. deep tear in her side plates. Cries and walls of despair were to be heard coming from the steamer. Passengers were seen running about the decks, as the steamer was about to go under.
 T saw man throw himself into the sea with two little children in his arms. The shipwrecked people in the sea chung to floating debris. I had all my lifebots lowered. It was particularly perilous work, for we were on the main path of vessels going from the open sea to the English channel. l stayed at the scene of the wreck until l1:2o Saturday
