The seamen then went aft and escaped in the manner described. No Panic, bat Gre tun ‘The rescued seamen steadily denied that there had been any panic on board the Elbe after the collision, but the ex- cited manner in which they replied to the questions put to them on this point showed that great confusion had pre- vailed. “Could we,” they said, on the sinking the boats below? “I cannot awim at all," said one of the seamen, “and the distance between the boat and the ship's side was increasing.” “Did the Captain give no orders?" was asked. ' “Only one," was the reply; “and that was that all the women and children were to go to the starboard side. We were on the port aide and remained there to give the women and children a chance and ot course we could not help them.” “Did none of “he passengers endeavor to leap into the boats?" was the next question. “They could not,” said the seamen ad- dressed, ‘eo high had the vessel rained out of the water, and they were afraid to jump.” “What!” interjected one man. not one of the passengers jump and nearly swamp the boat?

When questioned as to the action of the captain after the collision, the sea- men aaid that he might have given more orders, but, they added, in the notse and confusion which followed the disaster {t was Impossible to hear orders, even If they had been given, at such a distance from the bridge. In the midst of inquiries of every kind as to the cause of the accident, th: Ident. ity of the steamer which rammed the Elbe, &c., every possible attempt is be- ing made to find some trace of the miss. ing boat and its passenger: ‘Tug Sent to the Sy The agent of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company this morning sent the harbor tig Despatch to the scene of the disaster, but owing to the bad weather prevailing the men on board the tug were unable to see anything.

He says that had the vessel which collided with the Elbe stood by the latter steamer the majority of the passengers and crew might have been saved, for, he adds, the Elbe remained perfectly rteady for many minutes after the collision before the vol- ume of water poured into her and caused her to lurch. ‘Then all became confuslon, When the survivors were informed he Crathle was supposed to be the vessel which sank the Elbe, they strong ly denounced her crew for thelr appar ent innumi no not making an effor to assist the disabled vessel or to her crew.
