At thin hour the officers of the com- pany are not in possession of any addl- tlonal facts, but they have cabled for full detalis of the dinaater. The crew for the moat part wan re- cruited from sailors who lived in Bre- men, and it is scarcely possible that any of them lived in this country. Hermann Oelricha, the agent, was not in town, but Gustay Schwab said the Elbe carried a crew of about 180, and the passengers, he felt sure, would num- ber near:y if not quite 150, Of these 100 would be steerage passengers. The first information indicated that the Bibe had been sunk off Lowestoft, and working upon this information the steamship people immediately got down thelr maps and charts and soon located the fishing town of Lowestoft. “Why, how ts it that she was off there when she left Bremen yesterday and is due to sail from Southampton to-day?” queried one of the steamship officials he bent low over the line of the English coast of the big map before him, meas- uring with a lead pencil the distance from Bremen to Lowestoft. No one wae able to anewer the inquiry, tnd officials and-olerke, in the first in- terest and anslety of the occasion, stood about looking into each other's faces and wondering how it could have happened. One of the steamship officials when asked for names of those who were on board, stated that they were not sure of having the names of any of the Elbe's passengers. “The way of it is just this,"" explained the official. “Thin is a dull season of the year.
