Underneath ibe wreckage was a most districting light The sboek ot the wave knit d four Belgian sailors outright. Tbsy were ornehed in shocking manner. Near them lay two passengers fatally injured, aod scattered about ths decks were at least twenty more pert ons, who were more or leei fnr'J Bome very seriously. No ore) waves came oo board. The wreckage was cleared away an speedily as poaalble and that night Ihe bodies of ibe four dead sailors were given Bailor's burial The out day Ihe two passengers died, and they, too, were bailed at eta." An ioipso lion of the vessel afforded some idea ot the terrible blow shs had received. The crashed deck wae known ae tbs forward wbalsbaek.
