Ireland I el 1 1 : r i fi i-h a y . . n 1 1 2 ?. i 3 0 1 2 3 i 5 0 4 3
from Quebec and ten miles from Ri
TTienski, on the St. Lawrence liver. In
reality, there'.orc. aithouch the linr
v. as heading for the sea and the col
lier coining in from it, the disaster
v as not one cf the ocean, but of the
rivar. Unlihi the Titanic's victims,
the Empress of Ireland's lost their
lives within sicrlit of shores in land
Inr l?d waters.
The crash orcurrcd about 2 a. m.. off
Tather Point, Que. The collier,
bo md for Quebec, struck the Empress
of Ireland on the port side, about the
middle of the t-hip. It literally tore
its way back almost to the liner's
screws, leaving a r nt through which
the water poured in such a deluge
that it sank before any of the passrn-
gers were aware of what had happened.
Small Steamers to Rescue.
Brief wireless calls for help, sent
out by the Marconi op-rrator. were
heard by the pilot boat Eureha, ten
rn'"les from thp scene, and the Eureka,
followed by the I-ady Evelyn, a mail
t nder, put on forced steam and made
all speed !'cr the spot. It was these
two boats that found afloat the few
lifeboats that were launched from the
sirkken shfp and picked up the sur
vivors' they contained. Three hundred
and thirty-nine were saved b3' the
I.ady Evelyn and sixty by the Eureka
Amonz those saved was Captain H. G.
Kendall of the Empress.
Of those saved, crew members and
third class passengers predominated.
Hut a mere sprinkling of the first
cabin passencers were saved.
Explosion Hastens End.
The stricken vessel sank as if it was
lead. An explosion, apparently orig
inating in its engine room, hastened
its end and those persons who were
able to make their way from their
cabins found themselves on a perilous,
slanting; deck. Many leaped and were
drowned. Others were fortunate
enough to grasp driftwood or wer?
picked up by lifeboats. It is apparent
that the great hole torn in the ship's
Eide admitted such a deluge of water
that many must have been overcome
In their beds.
The rescued, fighting their waj- to
the lifeboats from the careening deck,
elinging desperately to the rails or leap
lis blindly overboard, broke their
arms or leat? or otherwise injuried
themselves so badly that twenty-two
died alter being picked up. Groaning,
and in seme eases practically insensi
ble, others were landed at Rimouski,
while the populace of the village gath
ered with medicines and stimulants
to relieve th:ir suffering. A special
train was made up, on which many
were taken to Quebec and Montreal.
No Time to Dress.
The president of the Canadian Pa
cific railway issued a statement that
the Empress had sank within fourteen
minutes. No one aboard had time to
seize his belongings, much less to
dress. Those found in the lifeboats
were in their nightclotbes. The wom
en suffered most. Only a few were
saved, according to the early lists, and
Sinks Urn Lead.
i
indications are that thev lacked the
strength to combat conditions which
confronted them. There was not, as
was the case cn the Titanic, time for
calm deliberation and rigid observance
of the unwritten law of "women first."
A party cf Salvation Army members,
en route to London, was almost wiped
cut; Laurence I"ving, son of the late
Sir Henry Ir.ing. is among the miss
ing, and nt'er prominent persons in
the first ca.bin .re unaccounted for.
When the rescue ships Eureka and
Lady Evelyn reached the Fcene short
ly before daybreak they found nine
lifeboats from the Empress, all
jammed full, and many of the occu
pants wounded. It was still dark.
Wreckage covered the river every
where. The Storstad, its bow badly
crumpled, was still on the scene, pick
ing up the living wherever it could.
In one of the liteboats crouched Cap
tain Kendall, commander cf the Em
pi ess, dazed and greatly shaken. He
had leaped fi'im the deck and had
been picked up hy members of his
crew.
Accounts agree that in the brief
space of time not more than fourteen
minutes between the shock of the
coliisicu and the sinking of the liner,
there ws little chance for systematic
marshaling of the passengers. Every
thing indicates that hundreds of those
on the steamer probably never reached
the decks.
Few Women Saved.
Very few women were "among the
envar n-r mrirn t i -i n i lwzj- li in 1 i:-t .i I
...v. ...-i
make it appear
"It all happened so quickly that we
did not really know what was going on
and nobody had time to cry 'women
first.' one of the passengers told Cap
tain Hellinger of the rescue boat Eu
reka. "The stewards did not have time to
arouse the people from their berths,"
the survivor added. "Those wno heard
the frenzied calls of the officers for
the passengers to hurry on deck lost
no time in obeying them, rushing up
fiom their cabins in scanty attire.
Thej- piled into the boats, which were
rapidly lowered and were rowed away.
Many who waited to dress were drown
ed." Praise for Captain.
From all accounts Captain II. G.
Kendall of tne Empress of Ireland
bore himself like a true sailor as long
as his ship stood under him. He re
taineel such masterly command of the
situation, it appears, that while the
Storstad's stem still hung in the gash
it had made in the Empress' side. Cap
tain Kendall begged the master of thH
collier to keep his propellers going so
that the hole might remain plugged.
The Storstad, however, dropped back
and the Empress filled and foundered.
Captain Kendall stood on his bridge
us the ship went down. One of the
beats from the liner picked him up
and he directed its work of saving
others until the craft was loaded. The
captain was injured in the crash and
suffered from exposure, but his speedy
recovery is expected.
Stories of Survivors.
W. Davis of Montreal, one of the few
survivors able to talk coherently after
first landing, said he and his wife had
not been awakened by the impact of
the collision and knew nothing cf the
accident until water began to rush in
to their stateroom. He helped his
wife to the boat deck, but the big ship
hd already listed and it was impossi
ble to launch a boat. Together they
crawled on their hands and knees up
the sloping deck of the liner. The
vessel was rapidly sinking. His wife
was swept from his grasp, both w-ere
carried by the suction into the river.
They clung to a piece of wood and
we re rescued. The wife was uncon
scious.
Shock Was Terrific.
A young Englishman said that when
the ship struck the collier the shock
was terrific. He was asleep in his
cabin. He jumped from hed, put on a
dressing gown and went directly to
wake up two of his friends, telling
thcm he thought the ship was sinking.
He then went on deck and came back
a second time to see if his friends had
left their cabin, but in his excitement
got on the wrcng deck. The ship then
was sinking o fast he could hardly
stand. He took hold of a rope on the
side of the ship and swung into a life
boat. He said he had not seen his
friends and fears they were drowned.
KARLUK CRUSHED IN THE ICE
Flagship of Stefansson Sinks Near
Herald Island in January.
Nome. Alaska, May SO. The wooden
C20-ton steam whaler Karluk, flagship
of the Canadian government's Arctic
exploring expedition, under command
of Villhpalmur Stefansson, was crushed
in the ice and sunk Jan. U, near Her
ald island, northeast of Siberia. The
entire white crew, except Captain Rob
ert A. Bartlett, is now at Wrangel isl
and, with plenty of food and wood.
Captain Robert A. Eartlett of the
Karluk made his way across the frozen
ice to North cape, Siberia, and then
proceeded overland to Whaler bay, Si
beria. There he was taken on board -
the whaler Herman, which carried him
to St. Michael, where he now is.
It is assumed by authorities on the
Arctic that when the ice closed in on
the Karluk last January the twenty-
four men on board got their supplies
out on the ice, along with the dog
teams and were able to reach land
well equipped for the remainder of the
winter.

ment and lor the time being ignore
the question of constitutionalist rep
nsentation. The only thing that
might disturb such a course would be
a direct intimation from the United
Statss that it will withhold approval
of the plans outlined for a new pro
visional government unless disposition
is promptly made of the subject of
constitutionalist participation. The
versation with the mediators on this
point.
Each side here is waiting on the
other to make the first move. The Hu
erta delegates expect to receive today
General Huerta's approval of the es
sentials of the peace plan, together
with his opinion on some of the names
suggested for the new government
The United States delegates received
much information along this line from
Washington, but no intimation as to
hew far they shoirW press the subject
of constitutionalist representation.
At the conference today the attitude
of both the mediators and the Amer
ican delegates toward constitutionalist
participation may be more clearly de
fined. Should the American delegates
consent to go ahead with their earlier
work on the peace plan, the mediators
will continue their efforts toward an
agreement. Eventually, it is their pur.
pose to answer General Carranza's last
communication, but a change in their
attitude toward the constitutionalists
may result from an insistence on the
part of the American delegates that
no agreement can be signed until the
third element in the controversy is
given an opportunity to express its
iews. The American delegates are
firm in their conviction that some way
should be found by which the constitu
tionalists would be represented here
They are prepared to argue the point
further with the mediators, but are
awaiting definite instructions from
Washington.
