Little did we thinik as we read the account of the collisionî of the British veasel Cromartyshire and the big French liner La Bourgogne bound from New York te Havre on July 6th, that anyone we knew was on board,bnt it is now known be.vond a doubt that one man who perished in the disaster was bomn in Bowmanville and spent bis boyhood here. He was Thomas A. Wright, s:on cf Mn. William Wright, now a traveller for the Steele, Biggs Seed Co., and who resides at 308 Be- eley istreet, Toronto. T. A. Wright was 29 years of age. Three or four years ago he was empleyed with the Tr. Eaton Co. During the Wold's Fair Mm. Wright had worked in Chicago for Mandell Bros, and that fimm were anx- ions that hie sheuld go back, and hie finally consented tQ g o. Ho leaves a wife but no family. His trip to Europe was as buyer for the Chicago flnm, Hs p arents know ho intended going te Europe, but did not think ho intended starting tili the end of the month. His father, who was ont on the noad for bis fimm, *did not know that bis son was a ýassenger on the iii fated vessel tili Saturday, when hie received a telegrani from the firm teiling hlm te retnrn home, te find a tolegram front New York' telling o! his son's deatih. Mrs> Wright,mother cf the unfortunate man, was a sister of the late Thomas T. Cole. mnan, Chie! o! Police for many years i Bowmanville. The collision took place in a fog off Sable Island in the Atlantic about 100 miles from Halifax. There weme on board thei La Bourgogne 85 first cabin passengers, 125 second cabin, and 295 steenage, making altegether 505 pass- engers, and 220 in the crew, making a total cf 725 persons on board, of whom 560 were lest and 265 saved. Of the saved 12 were second-class, 47 steerage, and the nemaining 116 miembers cf the crew, Theme are soune horrible stories told cf the treatment cf the passengers by the crew,many it hti said being clubb- ed and knocked inte the otean when they were clinging te the life heats. ville Sn rn vr Stra o h 11 .. ... ... .. ,nç, mç, n%, m, m, m, m, mp _nçl -MI lnçl
