Struck by Collier Storstad Which Backs Away Allowing Water to Pour Into Hole in Side of Ship Many in Berths go Down to Their Death. 396 are Saved

QUKHEC. May 30. A train with 396 jurvivors of the lost Canadian Pacific steamship Empress of Ireland arrived here from Rimouski shortly before 8 o'clock Friday night. Thirty-seven voundel wero left at Rimouski. These are all that live of tho 1,376 R'ho sailed out of Montreal Thursday afternoon bound for Liverpool on the gueen vessel of a famci:r' fleet sailed Dut of a sunlit harbor Into the fog off Father Point, where the ripping" prow of the collier Storstad struck the death blow In the dark. The lost number 343. Of the living-. 2 37 aro m timbers of the crew. Of the livinjr only 20 are women; rwo are children. Thus the Ftory of tho most terrible il.sa.ster in the history of Canadian navigation is written more grimly, more vividly in hard figures than it could ever be In words. How tho hundreds of strong men of the crew escaped while the hundreds Df weak women and children perished, nly tho Imagination can fathom now. Not even tho survivors can fully picture the 14-mInuto death throo of ;ho riven ship the passengers waken?d in the dead of night either to be rrushed by the invading prow of tho Storstad. drowned in the rush of waters or to drag themselves to tho listing deck where panic reigned, where hrleks of terror and of pain made an inferno under tho shrouding mist, rhe battle that surged about the life boats that had not been shattered in the crasri, the cruel triumph of the strong over the weak let tho hard figures tell It. TJiey alone can. Storstaxl PiU'ks Out. One of the matters on which the rescued agree is that Captain Anderlon of tho Storstad backed his vessel D'it of the grave phe had dug into the Impress' side and drew off, nursing tier own pent prow despite the shouted pleas of Captain Kendall that he hold fast to the wreck. As the collier backed away the vater rush listed the Empress so that nil her life boiits on tho port side were put out of commission. The Storstad. moreovert having no mortal damage iind plying in a river that wus ruffled only by tho strewn forms of the drowning, tho wounded and the dead, picked up but a few of those who were taken to the hospital at Rimoupki. ()tlurs Rush to luetic. It was tho government mail steamer Iady Evelyn and the pilot boat Eureka which had to run all the way from Father Feint that did the big work of resvue. A strict investigation is to be immediately besun. "There was no time." That is the phrase ued by every survivor in trying to toil something of what happened. There was no time to rouse the people; no time to cry 'Women and children first! " Fourteen minutes was the time between the crash and the sinking. In that time there were life boats to launch. A panic to contend with. In that time the wireless must flash its calls for help.

Tne Yv (). p eked up by many i

phlps near and far brought response too late to save even a third of the human cargo. Captain Kendall, one of the mort

thf murderer, anil had served for;

than half way through the Empress of Ireland's port side amidshlp. Then it tore its way astern like a huge rending tooth. Killed In Ilcrths. It had killed many in their berths; wounded scores. It had hurled many of the wounded out into the water. And now it backed away and the deluge followed the battering ram into the ship's vitals. As the water struck the boilers they exploded, breaking an upward rift through the middle of the deck lengthwise. The explosion shook people from the deck like powder Jarred from a table. The screams from the ship were echoed by screams from the water. Some of those who fell were plunged into the bowels of the boat where the water was raging now and were drowned there. Nine of the life boats were got away under the cool but desperate direction of Captain Kendall. They were filled with men for the most part. And most of the men were members of the crew. Carried to Bottom. The boats were scarcely away when with a wild sucking roar like the death cry' of a living thing the vessel plunged to the bottom. In 90 feet of water, within eye sight of the shore, a horror unparalleled had been enacted in 14 minutes. There were four hours of respite after the Titanic struck the iceberg before she sank. The Eureka reached tho scene in about 20 minutes after the first flash of the wireless call for help was picked up. The Lady Evelyn came a few minutes later. The men of their crews began Immediately the work of picking up the life boats and the bodies of the dead and living that strewed the waters. The work had to be done at night and In a fog. Only the feeble ship lights and the feebler cries of the injured in the water guided the rescuers. They were aided in small part by the crew of the Storstad. They worked until after day break when a final search of the waters was made. Then all were taken to Rimouski. Storstad Steams Ahead. The Storstad left some dead and a few living and proceeded on her voyage to Montreal, her coal from Sydney, C. R.. safe, but her prow blade crashed back upon her plates. Twenty-two of the rescued who reached Rimouski alive died within a few hours. Most of them had been maimed In the collision. The little town became a hospital. Every house was thrown open to aid the officers of the ships in caring for the injured. Doctors were sent for from all the surrounding points and arrangements made for the free carriage of messages from the survivors to their relatives. The train for Quebec was made ready as soon as possible and all who were able to travel were put on board. Of those taken to Quebec 29 were first cabin passengers on the Empress, 2 9 second cabin and 101 steerage. Soriio One of Pathos. The scene when the train arrived here was one of pathos. The surviv-

or.-, most of them broKen ana nere-

racked by their terrible experience, were clad in all manner of garments lent or given by the people of Rimouski. Hardly anv of those saved from

the wreck had saved anv clothing.
