Heartrending Terror and Grief Among the Doomed People on the Vessel's Deck But Twenty-One Persons Known to be Saved. Graphic Dcucriptloii of tho Awful INter by Sur Ivor S'r;ir.ilol from Wife nuil Sun Story of tho Sole IViiiiilo Survivor. Sinking of tho Stonmrr Kllie. London, .hut. 81. The North Gorman Lloyd steamship Kibe, bound from Ureineii for Now York, was sunk in u collision with n small .steamer fifty mile oft Lowestoft early yesterday morning. She carried 3S0 souls. But twenty-one survivors have been lauded, but a few other may still be afloat in one of the ship's small boats. At 10 o'clock last evening1 the number of lives lost was given out as 350. Tho Hurt! vor. The survivors of the wreck were landed at Lowestoft by Ute fishinqsmack Wild Flower at 5:10 o'clock yesterday evening. They are; Stotlberg, third otlicer. ascusscI, first engineer. "Weser, paymaster. Schulthei-is, Linlmieyer and Sitting, assistant paymasters. Fürst, chief stoker. Viobe, steward. Wenning, Saucer and ij'cibert, sailors. Dreson anil Uatko, ordinary seamen. Weissner, German pilot. Deparde, English pilot. llohnnnn, Lugen, Sehlegel and Vevera, of Cleveland, 0., saloon passengers, and ltolthen and Miss Anna Uuecker, steerage passengers. Hoffmann's home Is in Nebraska. Him wife and boy went down with the ship. In n I'ltluhlo Condition. All the rescued were in a pitiable condition. Tlie passengers were but half clothed. Their few garments were frozen stiff, their hair coated with ice, and anxiety nnd effort had exhausted them so completely that they had to be helped ashore. The officers and sailors were fully dressed, but their clothes had been drenched and frozen, and they had been almost paralyzed with cold and fatigue. They hud been ashore three hours before they had recovered sufficiently to tell the story of the wreck. Their accounts agreed upon the following points: Tho Collision. The Elbe left Ilremen on Tuesday afternoon. The few hours of the voy age before the disaster were uneventful. At 4 o'clock yesterday morning the wiud was blowing very hard and a tremendous sea was running. Tho morr'ng was unusually dark. Numerous lights '.vert ac?n in all directions, showing that many vessels were near by. The captain ordered, therefore, that rockets should be sent up at regular intervals to warn the craft to keep out of the Elbe's course. It was near 0 o'clock and the Elbe was so me fifty miles off Lowestoft, coast of Suffolk, when the lookout man sighted a steamer of about 1,500 tons approaching. He gave the word and, as a pre caution, the number of rockets was 1 doubled and they were sent up at short j intervals. The warning was without effect. The steamer came on with unchecked speed sind before the Elbe could change her course or reduce her speed, there was a terrific crash of the collision. The Elbe was hit abaft her engine room. When the small steamer wrenched away an enormous hole was left in the Elbe's side. The water poured through and down Into the engine room in a cataract. The room filled almost instantly. The engines were still, and the big hull began to settle. A IViirftil Awakening. The passengers were in bed. The "bitter cold and rough sea had prevent ed early rising, and none except the olllcers and crew on duty were on deck when the ship was struck lne Knock ana crash roused every "body. The steerage was in a panic in a moment, and men, women and children, half-dressed or in their night clothes, came crowding up the cumpanionways. They had heard the sound of rushing waters as the other steamer backed olT and had felt the Elbe lurch and settle. They had ,-jrusped the fact that it was then life or death with them, and utmost to a man had succumbed to their terror. They clung together in groups, facing the cold and storm, and cried aloud for lielp or prayed ou their knees for dolh'crnnco. Tho Oil'.rrrn Were Cnlm. The olllcers and crew were calm. Vorn few moments they went nmon" the terror-stricken groups trying to quiet them and encouraging them to boj.e that the vessel might be saved. It was soon apparent, however, that the Elbe was settling stendily. The officers weru convinced that sho was about to founder and gave orders to lower tlm boats. Lowering tlm Hont. In a short time three boats were got alongside, but the seas were breaking over the steamer with great force, and ' the first boat wi swamped before liny, body could get Into It The other two boats, lowered at about the same time, Were filled quickly with members of

the crew and some passengers, but the number was small, as the boats held only twenty persons each. The boat carrying tho twenty-ono persons who wero lauded at Lowestoft put off in such haste from the sinking steamer that nobody in it noticed what became of tho other boat. The survivors believe, however, that she got away sifoly. They say that they tossed about in the heavy seas for several hours before they sighted the Wild Flower. The little smack bore down ou them at once nnd took them aboard. They weru exhausted from excitement and exposure. Several of them were in a state of collapse and had to be carried and dragged from one boat to the other. The Only Woman Survivor. Miss Annie llueeker, the only woman of the party, was prostrated as soon as they got clear of the Elbe. She lay in the bottom of the boat for live hours with the seas breaking over her nnd the water that had been shipped half covered her body. Although her physical strength was gone, she showed true pluck, and did not utter a word of complaint nnd repeatedly urged her companions not to mind her, but look after themselves. Hoffmann's leg was hurt severely while he was changing boats. The survivors cannot say too much in praise of the Wild Flower's crew, who gave them every possible attention. Taken In Charco by tlio Oorumh CoiimiI. Upon landing, the survivors were taken in eharge by 15. S. Hradbeer, the (icrmau consul at Lowestoft, who sent some to the Sailors' home and others to the Suffolk hotel. Miss Hueeker, who took passage only to Southampton, will probably be able to go to Loudon in a day or two. . The Story of Carl Hoffmann. Carl Hoffmann, who came ashore in the Wild Flower, said in an interview: "My home is in Grand Island. Neb. I had my wife and boy of T with me on the Elbe. I am utterlj wretched, for 1 became separated from them and hardly dare hope that they have been saved. I am abroad to visit relatives in Germrtny, and during the last four months was accompanied by my wife and boy. We left Ilremen for home on Tuesday. I was asleep in our stateroom when a noise like a gunshot woke me. I jumped out of bed and spoke to my wife, who had been aroused as" suddenly. I asked her what she thought the trouble was, but she semed to pay little attention to it I was not greatly alarmed, although I heard scu tiling of feet and hoarse shouts ou deck. I hurried into a few of my clothes and went to the upper deck. I saw only too clearly then what had happened. I rushed below and helped my wife and boy throw on a few clothes, and we went on deck together. The excitement and confusion cannot be described. I never saw anything like it; everybody seemed to have lost his head. The scene was distressing beyond anything I ever saw. Men, women and children were running about madly, the women screaming with terror, ami every "man in the others way. The darkness increased the confusion and fright. A Despairing Cry. "I suddenly heard shrill, despairing

cries irom tue women i here are no more boats.' 1 then saw the men at the davits. I noticed that the ropes were frozen so hard or were so tangled or something of the sort that the sailors had to chop them to get the boats clear. The sailors were doing their best, however, and worked with might nnd main. They finally got out the aft quarterboat on the port side. I could see that it was full of people, but the sailors could not lower it. "Meanwhile the steamer was settling perceptibly. I took my boy in my arms and got into the second boat. My wife was close behind, when somebody shouted: "All women nnd chil dren go on the othur side of the ship." I believe the captain gave the order. My wife started to run across the deck, and that is the last I saw of her. I clung to my boy; but some men seized us and dragged us out of the boat, and my place was takeu by one of the crew. This boat got clear of the steamer, before the men at the oars could get full command of her, a big wave almost dashed her against the steamer's big foremast, which had gone by the board at the time of the collision. It was almost miraculous that the boat was not swamped. Another boat was got out. I took my boy into it, and supposed that he had remained by my side, but just as the boat was lowered I found that he had disappeared. He had been torn away in the rush and scramble for places. I tried to get back, but the boat went down with a jump, nnd the moment we reached tho water the sailors pushed off. The United Press reporter called at the Sailors' home at 10:30 o'clock to see Miss Hueeker. Her doctor said that she wns in such a state of nervous exhaustion when she arrived that he had put her to bed. Sho had rested, and felt much better, and would not suffer any permanent injury from her expe rience. Mini ltupokcr Iiitcrvlowril Miss Hueeker said in the subsequent interview: "I was in bed when the steamers struck. I was aroused by n great crash, followed by shouts and trampling of foot on deck. It was dark when 1 reached the top of the stairs leading to the deck. I found that two of the lifeboats were being lowered and ran to one of them. The steamer was sinking gradually. One side was already low in the water. Some men suoveu me into tlie uont, wiitcii was lowered. We had hardly reached tho water before the boat upset und all were thrown out. As that part of Um Elbe was partly submerged, most of the others managed to get back on the steamer. I wont under, and when I came up einteilet! the bow of the capsized boat, I clung to it desperately until another lifeboat that had been launched plckod me up.

Of tho Loss of tho Steamship Elbo In tho North Son. Story of tli DliAfttfr Totil liy tin KnijIUh l'llot. Who UAniunj- tlu Sitvt tl, ami of lh- ICi'M'iio by tho Wlhl fltwrr. London, Feb. 1. The loss of the North German Lloyd steamship Kllc, with over SOO lives, is the absorbing topic of conversation and comment in all circles. The latest information a to the number of lives lost places it at 371, at least that is the number missing, and there is very little hope entertained that any of these will eventually be heard from alive. It is true, however, that some Yarmouth and Lowestoft fishing smacks which are out on cruises in the vicinity where j the Wildtlower picked up the KHeV. boat containing the twenty survivors, ; have not yet returned to their home ports, so that Tlimtt: ST IM. KKMAIXS A TOSSIlUMTV that one or more of them may have rescued some of the unfortunates of the lost steamer. On the other hand, the weather is unfavorable to the survival of castaways for any considerable length of time. A heavy northeast gale prevails ou the North sea and the weather thereabouts isvtryeold. The gale is increasing to almost a hurricane, and is accompanied by a blinding snow storm. Notwithstanding the discomforts involved, however, the coast guard and customs officers are exerting themselves to the utmost and are leaving no means untried ix Tin. sKAr.ru von rossim.t: srr.vivons, or even for signs of any kind indicating that more of the Elbe's people escaped than have been yet heard from. Thus far no article of woodwork or fun.L ture Ivlonging to the vessel has been washed ashore on the Suffolk coast, a fact' in itself regarded by experts as proving the sudden completeness of the disaster, and tending to diminish the probabilities of further salvage of life being reported. A life boat of the Elbe, it is true, washed ashore at Yarmouth Wednesday evening, oars and life buoys being found in it; but this is undoubtedly the boat from which THK WlI.DFI.OWEU liKSCCKq Tili: SUBVIVOKS, and which was left adrift after its occupants had been taken off, so that its discovery onshore furnishes no additional news or encouragement. The offices in Loudon of the North German Lloyds Steamship Co. are besieged by anxious inquiries, but the officials are without information or details beyond the news published in the press, and can do nothing to allay the anxiety of the relatives and friends of the Elbe's oassengers. The company is refunding fares to the survivors and paying the expenses of their return to Germany or to whatever point they belect as their destination. ADDITIONAL VICTIMS. It is learned that the following, in addition to those named in the list of first-cabin passengers already published, were drowned. Their names did not appear on the printed list leaus e they did not take through passage, but intended to go only so far as Southampton: chrure Woman, An ton Fischerand a family named Misselaertz. consisting of two adults and two children. Mr. Laker and his wife, who were . . 1 .A amonir tlie steerage passengers iosi. were English people, who went to liremen to take steerage passage there for New York. A tug has been sent out by the Loyds from Lowestoft to cruise around in search of survivors. Till. VKSSEL THAT CAl'SKW IT. The owner, at Aberdeen, of the steamship Crathie, which ran into and sank the Elbe, has received a brief telegram from the captain at Maas Luis, stating that the Crathie s bow was terribly crushed by the impact of the vessel with the Kibe, and that the Crathie was in a sinking condition when she reached Maas Luis. The captain was; below at the time of the collision, the mate being in charge of the vessel. The latter has made a statement to the captaia that he has no knowledge whatever as to the identity of the vessel with which the Crathie collided. His own vessel was so terribly damaged that its condition called for the undivided attention of the officers and the entire crew, all of whom had to lend their energies to SAVlXf? tiimk smr am tiibik own i.ivks. There was, the mate adds, a dense fog at the time of the accident, and the vessel with which the Crathie had collided was lost in the mist almost immediately after the crash. Mr. Carl Hoffman, of Grant! Island, Neb., who is among the saved, refutes this statement by making the assertion, in addition to his statement already published, that if the vessel which came into collision with the Elbe had stood by the sinking ship a tnnjority of her passengers might have Ixjen saved, as the Llbe stooa perfectly still for many minutes sifter the impact In fact she remained motionless until. Tin: WATun which was rornixo into HKKlloi.D caused her to lurch violently, after which was an eomusion on imam. Prior to this, however, discipline was maintained and there could have been no difficulty in transiering the passeugers in an orderly manner. The survivors who were brought to Lowestoft are n;i recovering from the effects of the shock and exposure. Miss Anna Hueeker, the only woineu known to have been saved, has so fa. recovered that she will be able to proceed to Southampton. The surviving officers of the Ellie are very reticent in regnYd to the disaster, reserving their statements pending an olllcial inquiry into the circumstances; but It transpires that an officer of the Elbe paw a om:i:x moiit on tub pout now beloiiginir toan uulniown vessel which,

A dispatch to Lloyds from Rotterdam says the Crathle left Maas Litis at 10 o'clock on the night of January "i for Aberdeen, and returned to Maas Luis at L'.Wp. m.. .Utnuary 30 damaged. She reported havlngtbeen in collision with a large unknown steamer, which her otlicer? thought was probably an American liner. The Crathie's stem was completely gone above the water line, having been carried away to tho third frame, nt r sin: was i'KitraTi.v tihiit and had made no water. The collision according to the officers of the Crathie, occurred Kween 5 and 0 o'clock on the morning of January 'M. One of the crew of the Crathie was injured by the collision. The name of the tug which has started from .owestoft to search for any possible survivors of the Elbe is the Dispatch. The search will lie made in tiie vicinity of the Hook of Holland. A blizzard-like snow-storm is prevailing this forenoon off Lowestoft and Yarmouth, rendering the ea invisible from the shore. Coasting traffic is wholly suspended UXAVAÜ.LNO SKAHfll. Lo.vnox, Jan. ."I. The life boat of tho life-saving station at Hamgate has returned after being out fifteen hours searching for possible survivors of the Elbi', but found no trace of either boat or wreckage. Tlie Hroadstairs life boat has also returned. Upon nearing the station the boat was blown ashore by a violent gale and the crew were dashed into the surf- Several of them were injured. A blinding snowstorm is raging at the mouth of tho Thames and navigation is susjiended. ii:tvi:x uack hy a iiunihno stobm. The tremendous wind ami heavy sea aud blinding snow-storm drove the tug Dispatch back to Lowestoft after she had proeeetled only a short distance on her way to search for survivors of the Elbe. The storm moderated somewhat after her return, and in the afternoon she started again. Additional dispatches from Rotterdam say that the officers of the Crathie report that the ship with which the Crathie was in collision was a large steamer with two funnels. I'lLOT or.F.K.viiAM's stoi:v. Capt. (treenham, the English pilot on the Elbe, who was one of the survivors, said in the course of an interview: "When I came on deck of the Elbe the, captain was .in charge. The first order given was: 'Swing the boats' out; don't lower.' The next was: "Everybody on deck: crew to their stations.' This was followed by: 'Women and children to the starboard boats, to be saved first" "These orders wi r given by the captain himself, and vor" repeated by the chief otlicer. The next order was 'Lower the boats'.' There was no confusion whatever among the crew or in the giving of orders, nor was there a panic among the passengers. A high sea was running and there was a strong east-southeast wind. There had been an average of 19 degrees below the freezing point since the morning. Thelanyards of the boat grip-, were frozen and were chopped away in order to save time. The ship went down two minutes after we left her." sKirn:i: wmoiiT ok tiik wii.nn.owKn. William Wright, the skipper of the fishing smack Wildtlower, says: "We were east-southeast of Lowestoft with our trawling gear down when, about II o'clock yesterday morning, I saw a ship's life-boat a mile away. The boat's mast was naked, but I saw something lluttering from her stern., Tlie water was breaking over her bows. I watched the boat closely. Her occupants seemed to think I was going to leave them, so I waved my hat. It took us half an hour to get up our trawling gear and in the meantime the boat was drifting away from us. When we got close to them I cast tiu:m a i:oik, but they were so cold, wet and numb that they could not make it fast for some time. We pulled them around to th u, of . , .sn,.lci. and about half of them jumped aboard, but the strain caused by the heavy sea parted the rope, anu tue remainuer once more drifted away. Eventually wc made an other line fast, and four more of the unfortunates were dragged in. leaving a women nnd four men in the boat. The woman lay in the water in the bottom of the boat She wore a long coat, but HAD ON NKITlinr. 1I00T3 NOH KR!.. Pilot Greenham helped her to get on board the smack.

A FRUITLESS SEARCH I'or Survivors from tho Iot I'.ll vrrae Comment. -Ail London, Jan. Kb The tug Dispatch I returned to Lowestoft this afternoon, i having proceeded forty-five miles in her search for any persons who mav j have lieen fortunate enough to get ! away from the Llbe in the missing i boat or by clinging to wreckage. The I)ispatch reports that nothing what j ever was seen of lwat or wreckage. jiic storm is now raging more t wildly than ever, and it is impossible that any small boat can have lived in the heavy sea. or if it hofcld have j weathered the gale that any of its occupants can have survived eSMV,ure to the bitter cold until this time. A great deal of adverse comment is caused by the fact that of the twentv persons saved from the E'be, fifteen of them belong to tho snip s crew, and that the boat In which thev saved a i I . ( 1 , inemseive-s cinnamon oniy one woman and no children. Attempts have been inatle by some of the Mirvivors to account for this, but in no case in a satisfactory way. Even the solitary woman vh. wns saved wns not originally taken Into th boat, but

was picked up in th water.

flrt Letter Currlrr. It is not clear that the letter carriers

vcre reiriilarlv employed liefere 17Ä3, when tradition tells us that Henjamin Franklin, the new postmaster-general, employed them in Philadelphia, nnd jo.ssibiy in New York. Tho earliest evidence I have is of Wi, when the Philadelphia postmaster advertised that his "bov" had rim away, and that patrons must call for their letters at the postothce. The Postal Journal oi Hugh Finlay, a storehouse of sound information, tells us that Hosten had no letter carrier in 177.1.

Trciul of tin TlmeA Maine school-teacher, much distiirlvd in mind, reports that one of her pupils, a small boy of no particular distinction, when asked recently to define the word "man," retired into his nner consciousness for a moment aud then spoke these words: 'Man' a living being, unfortunate enough to know it." Vigorous questioning us to whence he had plucked a carnation so peculiarly, arsenieally green, failed to elicit any other response than "I just made it up." If ho told tlie truth, ami did "just make it up." the teacher is right in thinking theeventa potentous one. N. Y. Times. JUST TEN YEARS Sinco a Romnrkablo Happonlng.
