ROTT&RDAM, which were had here this afternoon with Capt. Gordon, of the steamship Crathie, and with the second officer of that ve: @el, now leaves no room for dobut that Jan. 31.—Interviews she was the steamship which ran Into and sank the Elbe. Capt. Gordon said that the Crathie at 6.90 A. M. yesterday was about thirty- five miles frem Waterway.. The wind was north by west a half west, It was very dark and the eea and wind were strong. Cor im@@ing he said: “I stood at Ye bottom of the cabin staircase and was going on deck when there was a heavy shock, a crack and the water began to pour into the cabin, “I ran on deck and saw a larg: strange ship cro the bows of the Crathie. Says the Crathie Returned, “After the collision we returned to the spot where it occurred, @r as near as we could make out; but we were unable to see any signs of the steamer, which we thought had proceeded on her voyage. We followed after her for some time, but lost all sight of her, We waited for two hours and then proceeded to Maasslu! We reached there yesterday and came here to-day for repairs, which will take five weeks.” Second Officer's Story. The second officer of the Crathie sald sey._that at about 5.30 yesterday morning the steamer was about thirty miles from Nieuwe Waterweg, adding: ‘@ collided with a large steamer. ‘There was no fog, but It was dark, It wrs my watch on deck, and I suddenly w ehead of us three lights and I made ou. a steamer with two smokestacks, painted a light color, coming towards us, It was in ossible to escape @ collision although ten or a dozen yards mo would probably have cleared us, A we struck i¢ was impossible for some time to disengage the two ships, and our gear had to be cv. We heard no cries, and there wa no commotion on board the steamer so far as we know, “Immediately after the collision the other vessel showed blue and red lights, We returned the same signals, under- standing ‘t to mean that nelther of us er needed assistance. Our captain was be- low at the time I first sighted the steamer.

He is now in the hospital, “Our vessel's bow was completely stove in, and we returned because the Crathie was not fit to proceed in a high sea.” LIFEBOAT PICKED UP. to Belong to An- br Youndered Steamaht ESTOFT, England, Jan. 3 details of the loss of the Gern{in Lioyd steamship Elbe and up- sward of threo hundred of her human freight are being discussed here by crowds of people gathered at different places where the survivers remain, al-| though a ragular bilagard ts blowing, | and, under ordinary circumstances, very! few people would have ventured out of doors, ‘The bitterly cold weather prevailing os of ewe - . tle if any hope of anv other survivors of he disaste: reaching land. Lifeboat Picked Up. A ‘lifeboat, supposed to have belonged to the Elb, nas been washed ashore near Yarmouth. In the boat were a number of lifebelts and oars, and It Is believed to be the boat from which the fishing-smack Wildflower rescued the few persons who escaped from the steamship after the collision, A handful of the survivors who were clustered around a hotel fire this morn- ing indulged in the most bitter criti- cisms of the ship which rammed the Elbe and sunk her in such a short time. They all claim that sho should have stood by the Elbe, and that if whe had done so a great many lives would have been saved. This. of course, {s a matter which cannot be decided until all the facts in the case are brought to light by the Court of In- quiry which will inquire into the matter, Think Another Vessel Was Loat. There are people who believe that @ second steamship may have foundered. They base their opinions on the fact that the Ramsgate lifeboat put to sea yesterday evening in answer to signals of distress supposed to have come from a steamet. Then, again, the word “Azonta” is branded on the oars of he boat etranded near Yarmouth, so people say it could not be the boat from which the Wild- flower rescued the survivors of the Elbe. But the naine of “Azonia” is not known in shipping circles here. (The record of American and foreign shipping contains no such name as “Azonia,”) The German Vice-Consul and the agent of the North German Lloyd Company have cautioned all the sur- vivors of the crew of the Elbe to fur- nish no information of any description to anybody until they appear before the Court of Inquiry. No Pilot on the Bridge. Tt seems, however, that neither of the two pilots wae on the bridge of the Elbe at tho tim of the collision, The Weser, or Ger-aan pilot, ceased his duty when the Elbe cleared from the Werer, and the turn of duty of the ‘Trinity, or English pilot, did not com- mence until the steamship entered the waters of the Isle of Wight. The surviving officers of the Elbe re- fuse to say who was in charge of the steamship when the collision occurred, but, it Is supposed, to have been Third OMcer Stollberg, who Was one of the survivors. Stollberg is understood to have asserted that the steamer which sank the Elbe, was out of her course, and he ts said to have admitted that he saw a green light on the port bow of the Elbe shortly before the collision oc- curred. Hardly a Chance to Live. He describes the third lifeboat lowered, and which Is still thought may have escaped, to be about twenty feet long, and It is known that it cleared the Elbe all right and with a number of people in It, Btollberg, however, does not believe {t possible for her to have lived for any length of time in the heavy sea which was running at the time of the awful aceldent, A. NEUSELI. CHIEP ENGINEER | BLUE, WHO WAS SAVED. (Prom « photograph taken by himseit.) Chief gineer Neusell says that the stem of the steamer which collided with the Elbe struck the latter vessel about 100 feet forward of the rudder, or just aft of the engine-room, The engines were not damaged by the cullision, but the water soun poured in, and although the steam pumps were put to work in about three minutes’ time, it proved to be useless, and the engine-rooms were soon deserted for the upper deck. Later in the day, at the request of the agents of the North German Lioyd Bteamship Company, Greenham, the Trinity pilot, made the following state- ments Pilot Greenham's Statement, “When I came on deck with some of the passengers Capt. in charge. The first order given was to swing the boats out, but not to lower them until further orders. The next order was for everybody to come on a and for the crew to go to their stations, Then followed the order for | the women and ehildren to go to the starboard beats, in which it was pro- posed to save them. The first of these yrders were given by Capt, von Goessel, | ana repeated by Chief OMicer oF THE | wel Wilheims, ‘The captain was on the bridge, and I believe he went down with the ehip, “The next order which I heard given was to lower the boats, There was no confusion whatever, nor was there a very order was executed with eatest calmness and promptitude, Frosen Hopes Chopped Away. “At the time of the collision there von Goessel was |b GAY LITTLE WILLIE The Youthful Co-respondent in the Winkemeier Suit.

Little Willle Finch, the frisky twenty- one-year old co-respondent named by Candy Manufacturer Christian F, Winke- meter as the wrecker of his home, ar- rived in the Circuit Court room, Brook- lyn, a long time before Justice Landon opened this morning's session. Mrs, Winkemeler was in an ante-| room. There was a large number of women present. WILLIE FINCH ON THE STAND. Mr Winkemefer was early on hand. He sa: near his counsel, Abe Hummel. Gen. Tracy and John B. Soley,, Mrs. Winkemeler's attorneys, were on hand when Judge Landon arrived. ‘The first witness this morning was Norman A Robertson, of 203 Sterling place, Brooklyn. He said hé had attend- ed cart parties et the Winkemeler home during the Winter of ‘9. He was pres- ent when the Finchs were invited into the Winkemelet bedroom on one occa- sion to see the sleeping infant, Howard. He was also at Stamford when Willie there last Summer. ‘That 1s our case,” said Gen, Tracy Robertson left the stand. Mr. Hummel asked Robertson If he was betrothed to one of the Finch ousehold.

Justice Landon allowed each side one hour and a quarter to sum up.
