Show ONE OF THE SURVIVORS lie Tells a Thrllllns Story About the LOH of the Drummonil Cattle BREST June 1JH Goodbolt who survived the disaster to the Drum mond Castle was quartermaster of the ship He said A few minutes before the shock a drizzling rain commenced to fall and the atmosphere was thick and muggy There was not a rough but there was a long swell No lights were visible The children on the ship had gone to bed but a number of passengers were on deck The vessel was going fourteen four-teen knots an hour when suddenly with absolutely no preliminary warning warn-ing there was a terrible crash The captain who was on the bridge with the third officer when the ship struck immediately ordered all hands to the boats All passengers rushed on deck many only half clad and panic stricken strick-en The steamer was now listed so heavily that although the crew behaved behav-ed admirably and took up the stations at their work it was impossible to do anything There were heartrending cries from those on board when they realized that they were doomed The Drummond Castle sank beneath our feet with all on board in about two minutes after she struck I found myself my-self in the water and grasped a floating float-ing plank I then saw another survivor sur-vivor who was clinging to a small spar We joined our efforts in collecting col-lecting other spars and thus made a rough sort of a raft On this we were buffeted about until midnight when we sighted a fishing boat not far from I us I waved my hat which was seen and we were soon picked up |
