8 DIE, I SAVED.
IN TRAVNER
WRECK
Mikado Goes on Reef During
Wild Storm OF Coast Of
Novia Scotia

AAhAtbWM@A
CANSO, Nova Scotia, May IL
Nine men went to their deaths in
the cauIdron Of seas when the
steam trawler Mikado was wrecked
Sunday night on Cape Fouchu reef,
it was learned today.
Seven survivors Of the Mikado
have arrived here. bringing with
them the body Of one of their COM
panions who died after being res
cued.A
The dead are:
NJ. Nielsen, fireman, Norway: b.
Grimshaw, cook. England; A. Hendri.
wireless operator, England; William
Saxby, navigation captain, England;
J. Jensen, first engineer, Denmark;
w. Brown, second engineer, England;
William Simpson. deck hand, Eng
land; T. Williamson, deck hand,
England, and J. Haley, fireman,
Survivors are: B. Ebenezersen,
fishing captain: j. Hansen. w. Lin
grin, Olafy Jensen, deck hands; @.
Crimson, G. Crimson, IT., trimmers;
Lofty Thorlakensen, second mate.
An unnamed survivor was q stu
dent, who shipped at Digby, Nova
Scotia, for passage to England, and
who was taken off by motor boat
and landed at Louisburg.
The Wrecking of the Mikado was
one of the worst marine disasters
to be recorded off the coast Of Nova
Scotia in several years.
The trawler, vessel Of 40 tons
gross, was en- route to Grimsby,
England.
A thick fog which hung over the
sea was blamed today by the sur
vivors for the tragedy.
Saved By Tug Crew.
The survivors owe their lives to
Captain Greenlaw and the crew Of
the ocean-going tug Ocean Eagle.
The Mikado went on the rocks
Sunday night. The vessels lower
structure soon was under water and
all aboard took refuge in the
rigging.
From midnight Sunday until noon
Monday the little craft was buf6eted
by mountainous waves. When the
Ocean Eagle arrived the possibility
Of rescue appeared futile. The fury
OF the sea had increased. Efforts
Of the Ocean Eagle to approach the
Milsado threatened to pile it too on
the rocks.
Rescue Thrilling.
There was only one alternative
for the Mikado's men dashed in the
rigging. They must leap. into the
sea and reach the life boat the
Ocean Eagle had launched.
In turn each man leaped. Cap
tain Greenlaw with two men In q
hfeboat threw a line.
Seven men had been rescued when
the rigging to which Hendri was
dashed was carried away and he
was drowned.
When the Ocean Eagle left Care
Fouchu yesterday six bodies had
been washed up on the beach and
the Mikado had broken up.
