Only about 130 were saved.
;Mo tragedy ot th seas has sad! more
appalling consequences and none baa oo
stirred In a aborts -time. The aaaaemseiw
were suddenly aroused from their steep
terrified by the contact or the bow ot
tba ship with tha solid granite followed
by a' grinding rasping sound as though
tha hull waa being aboved over hug
rocks.. Then alienee aa the clang of bells
brought the englnrs to a stop. Those
at the passengera who were standing at
the time the steamer struck the rock
war thrown against the bulkheads or on
th decks and had not recovered their
Feet when a stentorian voice gave the
srder: "All hands on deck; 'men hurry

eraa a rush tor th narrow companion
ways and men women and children
pushed and struggled and made every
effort to reach t b deem where th
boata awung from the davits. Many
persona retaining their presence of mind
seised life preservers only to find in
acme Instances that tha strings were
ratten and they could not quickly be
put around their bodies: Those who
reached the deck saw the nose of tha
Norge pinned directly against tha rock.

Slowly th hip backed oft and a she

tba vicinity seething struggling mass
some on their knee praying surrounded
by ohildren others supplloattnc aid from
on another and shrieking for permis-
sion to enter th boats el bowing and
fighting their war to th places from
which th boats war be rag lowered. Th
sound of grinding ceaaed. tha bow of
the Norge yawned as the steamer re-
turned to deep water. Th sea rushed
hungrily Into the huge rents mads by th
rock in th Iron hull. Swiftly th ves-
sel began to alnk. Without waiting for
orders without paying attention to their
proper manning the occupants began to
lower th boat.
The starboard Ufa boat began slowly 1
to fan when to' the horror of thorn
on board the stern tackle failed while
the bow tackle ran free. Boon the bow
was aim oat perpendicular. Those who
were In It clung desperately along tha
sides and eats amaahlng it against tha
atd ot the ship. Th occupants-of the
boat who wen not killed by the Impact
war thrown Into the water. Tba crew
and passengera on deck had no time to
spare to assist those who had had a
chance to escape but had lost It '' Unde-
terred by the experience of the f;it
boat a second loaded prmi.tpally with
women and chlldrea. waa lowered. Thla
time the tackle ran smoothly but th
hope of scape of the passengers on
board were blasted. The mJimnt it
touched the water waves pit ked up the
small craft aa If It had been a feather
and dashed It against th aid of th
hip in spits ot the fraatle efforts of
the psasengers to send it oft ' Th crash
waa heard on deck. Then the sea swal-
lowed more victims and pieces of wreck-
age alowly drifted toward tha rocks. -
The Final Crisis.
Th. upper deek of the Norge at the
time of the disaster to the second boat
was onlyji few feet from the water and
It . waa apparent to every one that It
would b only a few moments until it
would plunge below the waves. In tha
final crisis those who are able to re-
member clearly what happened ay tha
shrieks and sobs died away and that the
Quiet waa only broken by the curses of
some man whoa fear found vent in blas-
phemy. -
Suddenly one. man. threw himself overt
board and another followed bis example.'
Still another Jumped Into the water and
soon around the ship hundreds of people
were struggling in the sea having pre-
ferred death in the open to being; sub-
merged In the ship. Others determined
to stand by tba ship hoping against hope
that ah would remain afloat
Three' boats. It is known successfully
reached the sea Th passenger fran-
tically pulled away from the doomed ship
passing by poor wratche who war (till
afloat and who vainly begged to b tskan
on board while from the ship cams long
despairing cries. The women In th boat
which reached Grimsby hid their eyes
but the men who were sitting facing th
Norge say they saw the captain still on
the bridge and th passengers on deck In
attltudea of resignation. While thoy
looked the Norge plunged forward her
stern shot up In the sir and she dis-
appeared. The swimmers m th vicinity
of the ship were drawn Into the vortex
around which they swirled like chips tu
the maelstrom. But twelve mlnutas
elapsed from th time the ship struck
until she sank.
A Ana Scotch mist waa falling at tha
time and shut out the other survlvora
from the view of those wbo were brought
to Grimsby. Tb latter so soon as their
boat was clear ot the scene of the wreck
devoted themselves to thoughts of their
own safety. A Jacket was tied to an oar
which waa in turn fastened In the bow
ot the boat and a sailor a Dane took
charge of the boat Men and women were
put to work keeping the boat afloat aa a
hoi had been stove In her bow when It
was lowered from the ship; An exami-
nation of tb water cask showed that It
did not sontaln a drop ot water. There
were some biscuits however and these
were eaten by the shipwrecked people
during the twenty-tour hours from the
time the ship struck at 7 a m. June W
until they were picked up by the Grimsby
trawler 6ylvia.
MathiesenY Statement
Karl Mathlessn the Danish sailor who
assumed command of the boat brought-
to arlmaby only Joined the Norge at
Copenhagen Just before she sailed for
New York. Me had never been Instructed
in a Ore drill and did not understand
what it meant Ua was on deck when
the vessel struck but did not know unUl
be heard tb captain shouting th order
to th men to man tha boats that tha
damage was great Mathlesen said to the
representative ot the Associated Press:
-I worked with the third mat and
followed him to th different boata The
firet we attempted to lower fouled her
tackle; keeping her stern fixed while her
bow fell and shot the occupants Into th
water. We went to another. A crowd-of
shrieking woman and children followed
ua The launching operations were n
conducted simultaneously the officer
and the crew going from one to another.
Had men been set at work at each boat
mor would hav been saved. Some of
the crow were worse then the passengers
snd but for tha officers. would hava put
on in the boata themselves. These were
driven bsck and threatened with death
unless they obeyed orders. The captain
never left the bridge but he shouted so
many orders that tb crew did not know
what to do. Therefore I stuck to the
third mat. Together wa Jumped Into a
small boat just before 'the vessel went
down but we did not think so many were
left behind aa appeared on the water
when the Norge sank. There remained
on board many women and children. I
saw only two other boata afloat one a
big Ufa boat easily carrying sixty persons
and tb the a small boat nrrlng pos
Dashed Life Boats

sibly forty. No other boata got away al-
though there were eight on board."
Deeds of Heroism.
Many deeds ot heroism shins brightly
through the pall of tha catastrophe. That
of Jans Peter Jensen who has relative
In Brooklyn. N. Y. I told with admiral
Uon by the survivors. He waa one ot tha
engineers ot tha Norge. Whan tb ship
struck h learned the extent of th dis-
aster and went below to where hla rela-
tives were and told them and those near
by to go at once to the upper deck. He
accompanied them to the boats and saw
them safely on board. He Mae urged to
join them but said he must return to the
engine room . and ahoutlng a farewell
ran to bis post ot duty where he died.
Borne ot the male puaaengera without a
thought ot self placed women snd chil-
dren in the boats preferring to remain
behind rather thautake advantage of
their strength. JTbe mate of the Norge
who left the ship in the boat which ar-
rived here seeing that it waa overcrowd-
ed leaped into the water for the purpose
Of swimming to a second boat not far
away. He had only gone a short distance
when hia strength gave out and he sank.
Those survivors wishing to continue
their Journey to America will be sent for-
ward via Liverpool tonight while thou
who refused to go further together with
the sailor Mathlesen have left Grimsby
by steamer direct for EebJerge Denmark.

clottasng before their departure.

Some heavy wind tn Washington county
Is reported to have damaged some fields
tbougti what the loss will anally prove ta
not rtain. Cotton Is in- fine growing
condition clean and well worked. The
present blooms of course will be lost and
some bolls will fall. The moisture Is fa-
vorable to boll wtMvtl depredations and
hard work will surt-ly be done.
Chflton Falls County. Texas. July 4
It has been raining- a slow rain ail day
snd It now looks as If the rainy spsll we
have been having for the past ten days
may continue fur into July: and If suoti
should be the case -the boQ worm will
more than likely com snd destroy the
cotton crop as tt ha dme In thtB sec
tion for th past two year. tTntil now
the cotton or-ip has tn-en doing splendidly
the plant hetnis full ff fruit and t.o dam-
age of importance from the boll weevil.
The corn crop is made ajvi la tho best
