Show STEAMERS SUNK IN IRISH SEA Ninety-two Drowned When Two Vessels Ves-sels Collide. London. In one of the worst gales ever known in the Irish sea, the British Brit-ish steamship Connemara, with passengers pas-sengers and a cargo of cattle from Greenore, Ireland, for Holyhead, ' Wales, collided Saturday night just outside the Carlingford bar with the British steamship Retriever, laden with coal. Both vessels sank immediately with an estimated loss of life of ninety-two. The weather was so rough that it would have been impossible to launch any boats, even had time permitted. |
