established that the brathe was the offending kt fc teamer oamer there are people who believe the theamer may be foundered they base t gaeir meir opinions on the fat fact t that the life boat was put to sea ana yesterday evening in answer to signals of dik treas supposed t have come from the steamer but the life boat has baa not returned and as she be got away in a blinding snow storm it is believed she la is lost and that the steamer she at tempted to went down then the word gA bazonis azonia Az onla is 10 branded on the stranded near yarmouth oars oar of a boat people say OILY lt it could not dot be the boat so 0 o from which the wildflower rescued the survivors of the elbe the name azonia lazonia la is not known in shipping circles here it seems that neither of the two pilots wag waa on the bridge of the elbe at the be time lime of the collision the german pilot ceased duty when the elbe cleared from the weser and the turn of ef duty of the glie trinity or of english pilot did not 1309 commence until the steamship entered the waters of the isle 1810 of wight the surviving officers refuse refuge to say who was in charge of the elbe when the ghe collision occurred but it is up sup pose nosed d to have been ane third officer sto liberg one of the survivors stoll berl I 1 is understood to have asserted that the ship which sank the elbe was waa out of her bar course and to have admitted that he saw a green light on the port bow of the ghe elbe shortly before the collision chief engineer says the tem of the unknown ship struck the elbe about feet fast forward the he rudder or just about the engine rooms the un gilmen were not damaged by the col but bug the water soon poured in leolon Ito loDi und and although the steam pumps were put to work in about three it became useless and the engine rooms were soon deserted for the upper deck baler in the day at the request of the agents of the north german lloyd greenham the trinity oom company pany plot pilot made the following statement when I 1 came on deck witti with some passengers passe captain von goessel was in charge the first order given was to swing the boats boata out but not to lower then them until further orders the next order was for everybody to come ou on deck and for the crew to go to their stations then followed an order for the women and children to go to 10 the starboard hostel boats in which it was proposed to save move them the first of these orders were given by captain yon von goebel and repeated by chalot officer thelms thelma the captain was on the he bridge and I 1 believe he be went down with the ship the next order I 1 heard beard given was to lower the boats there was waa no con boc ruelon whatever nor was there a panic every order was wag executed with the greatest calmness and promptitude at the time of the he collision there was wae a high sea running and a strong wind was waa blowing from east south east tt it was bitterly cold the lanyards lan yards and boats grips and falls were frozen and the lan JaD yarda yards securing the falls had bad to be chopped in order to save eave time but that would have been done in any case in the event of a colli collision siou the elbe went down about two wo minutes after we left her bar side the explanation given by the surviving of officers floare as to the proposition of the crew saved to the number of passengers saved is in that the be following orders were given by liao be officers of the elbe the children were to be saved first and add then hen tho be bowen worn en and they hey were td be placed in the be boats on starboard where rethe the women and children were told to gather but almost immediately after these orders bad been obeyed the elbe listed heavily to starboard and the sea swept up t ta the promenade deck so the starboard boats were rendered useless the boat which brought the survivors away from the elbe was one of the be port boats and was last laet to leave the vessel aati acting upon the orders of captain von If leasel third officer Stol stollberg lborg and the paymaster who were in charge of this boat took their seats inside her ber and then when the water was creeping over deck a rush was made for the oost boat and anybody who could gt gat into it did so trinity pilot greenham Uree Oreen nham tiam slated assisted the crew of the elbe in firing rOc rockets katO it is understood that greenham had bad been board beard to express the opinion that the steamer which collided with the he elbe was distinctly at fault as an she attempted to oron cross the down of the elbe E ibe all the passengers are understood to have been below and asleep at the time of the collision and nearly all auit have been either drowned below or have met death while seeking to rush up on an deck the man who furnished this chis information was in such an excited state that little more could be gathered from him than exclamations of horror borror he repeated time and it was terrible it was terrible the poor women and children went down without hardly being able to utter a prayer it was terrible the steamship must be full of dead bodies they were caught like rats rate in ID a trap 11 1 I cad cant L tell you any more about it all I 1 know to is I 1 heard a terrible crash and it was followed by an awful sound of rushing water and escaping steam it was very dark down below where I 1 was but somehow I 1 managed to push roy my way on deck the ship re sounded with heartrending cries from all qu quarters artere although the officers seemed to be doing all they could to calm the people I 1 saw a lot of sailors making a rush for we boat and I 1 joined in with them somehow the buat boat was lowered anu I 1 man aged to scramble into it if although it seemed to me that a hundred people were trying to do the same we pushed some of them away for it was utterly impossible to load the boat any more and we could see the elbe was doomed she was rolling terribly and settling down one side bide in a manner which seemed threatening to turn tarn her over entirely somehow or other we got away and a number of people were drowned as they jumped into the ties nea and swam after us of course we could not put back for anybody or we would have been pulled under by the people already alre dy struggling in the water timea some time I 1 later I 1 oani say how bow long for I 1 was too horrified to think the elbe gave a fearful lurch sideways and sank with a bursting sound it seemed to me as if something blow blew up on board her as she went want down I 1 dont donst know what became of the vessel that ran into us I 1 saw a light somewhere in the distance and sup eup poe posed ad it was hers here but I 1 cant say anything for certain I 1 bad a brother on board who was from germany like myself we were on our way to the united states where we have relatives relative I 1 do not know how many people were drowned but I 1 should think at least SOU persons went docu in that terrible ship there was another boat lowered about the same time w a got away bu it sunk afterwards I 1 think it was so crowded it could not float the chief engineer who had charge of our boat is in a very nice man and he did all he could for us while we drifted about he says he Js ja certain cartain a third boat was lowered from the elbe and believes she surely will be able to reach the coast of holland in safety he wanted the english Engli als fish ing smacks to take us to so the german coast but the fishermen insisted upon bringing us here A at till idill later dispatch received from lowestoft Lowe about 1080 1030 p m indicates indicate that the disaster is more serious than at first outlined it to is now said there here wore were about people on the elbe passengers and a
