After more than thirty hours of almost incessant ef-1 forts ind splendid work, the Dutch lifeboat men were re-j warded by reaching the wreck of the British steamer Ber-' lin, wjiich went ashore at Hook of Holland yesterday' morning, and ten survivors upon the afterpart of the vessel ves-sel were saved. Buffeted and driven back time after time, the stiirdy Dutchmen never relaxed their attempts in be-t half of the handful of shipwrecked people, and through' yesterday, last night and this morning they launched their boat repeatedly, only to be foiled by the mountainous seas. In the early afternoon the lifeboat went out again. The receding tide and some improvement in the weather gave better hope of success, and after a hard tussle the few, ! persons still living were safely taken off at 3:20 o'clock. , j vessel lav at the merer of wind and; wave, Huge rollers struck her and! carried off deck gear and swept om! of the passengers into the churning waters. ; "Suddenly a great rent gaped amid-1 ships, and the boat's bow and stern 1 parted, hurling nearly all on board in-t to the sea. j ' Prince Henry of the Netherlands, , ' the prince consort, arrived here this morning and twice went out in a! steam pilotboat as near the wreck as it was possible to approach. -Subee-, quently the Prince visited the building) which is beiirg uaed as a morgue, and . passed down the lines of White-draped ; figures, stopping with bowed head for' a few minutes before the body of a fair-haired child. , The lifeboat put out "again at noon, although the efforts to save the few who are still upon the wreck were regarded re-garded as almost hopeless. HOOKi OF HOLLAND, FEB. 22. ' WHEN DAYLIGHT BROKE THIS MORNING A HANDFUL OF SURVIVORS SUR-VIVORS OF THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY'S STEAMER BERLIN, FROM HARWICH TO ROTTERDAM, ROT-TERDAM, WHICH WAS WRECKED OFF THE HOOK OF HOLLAND YESTERDAY YES-TERDAY MORNING, COULD STILL BE SEEN CLINGING TO THE AFTER AF-TER PART OF THE STEAMER. THE EFFORTS MADE TO RESCUE THE SURVIVORS YESTERDAY CONTINUED CON-TINUED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHTj BUT PROVED FUTILE OW-IGN OW-IGN TO THE FURIOUS SEAS AND THE HEAVY SNOWSTORM WHICH RAGED ALL NIGHT, RENDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE TUGS OR LIFEBOATS TO APPROACH THE WRECK, OVER WHICH MOUNTAINOUS MOUN-TAINOUS SEAS CONTINUED TO DASH WITH TERRIBLE FURY. SO INTENSE WAS THE COLD LAST NIGHT THAT IT WAS THOUGHT THAT THOSE WHO WERE STILL ALIVE UPON THE REMNANTS WHEN DARKNESS CAME MUST HAVE 'BEEN FROZEN TO DEATH, BUT SIX OR EIGHT PERSONS APPEAR AP-PEAR TO HAVE SURVIVED THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCES OF THE PAST TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. The stern of the Berlin is so firmly imbedded in the sandbank on which she went ashore that it does not au- pear td have moved during the night. At high water this morning the poop deckhouses were the only portions of the steamer visible, and there the few survivors were huddled. A lifeboat which went out to the wreck at midnight, mid-night, Rccompanied by three tugs, remained, re-mained, there anchored close to the Berlin,! but was unable to get alongside along-side of her, as the heavy seas would have dashed her to pieces. Heard Shouts for Help. The (lifeboat men report that they heard tn occasional shout for help, but they were forced by the rising tide and increasing dangers to temporarily abandon their efforts to rescue the survivors. ('apt, Parkinson, who was on the way to Amsterdam on board the Berlin Ber-lin to Ijoin his vessel, the Myrmidon, and take her back to Liverpool, was the sole survivor of the disaster who had reached the shore this morning. He said that the catastrophe was due to the fact that the Berlin broached to ifi the terrific sea as she was entering the waterway, and that before she was able tJ recover herself, she was dashed upon I the pierhead, immediately "crunched like a concertina," and parted, amidships. Bodies Unrecognizable. The straggling little village of the Hook ff Holland is filled with anxious relatives of the passengers ami crew of the Berlin, aua heart-rending scenes are witnessed at the improvised mortuary mor-tuary where thirty of the bodies which already have been washed ashore are located. Most, of these are battered beyond recognition, and some are without with-out hands and others without arms and legs. veteran pilots and seamen who watched the Berlin being driven to her doom Bay the gale was the fiercest in many 'vears. One of the witnesses described de-scribed the scene as follows: - . "As the vessel approached, it was noticed that she was being carried out of her course by the force of the wind and the tremendous driving power . of the waves. The trained eyes" of the officials upon the jetty who were awaiting await-ing the steamer's arrival saw she was in imminent danger and a flare from tho . Berlin showed that the inevitable had been realized by those on board. Before the flare died out , the crash came, j It could be heard above the din of the storm. "When the Berlin struck, the waves were sweeping the northern part of the pier, which is little more than a breakwater, from end to end, and the tremendous seas which washed over the Berlin from end to end battered her to pieces.
