The last message from the doomed boat was that it was sinking by the head and this is taken to indicate that the bulkheads could not stand the enormous pressure.

The steamers Virginian and Parisian cruised in the vicinity of the wreck for several hours but reported that they saw no signs of human beings among the wreckage.
