Norfolk, Va. The story of how 4Z
perilous went down to death In the
chill waters of the Atlantic when the
liner Nantucket rammed and sank the
steamer Monroe, was brought to port
by tho 1(9 survivors of the sunken
ship, who were rescued and brought
to shore by the Nantucket.
It was a slory of awful and sudder
death, aweeplng out of the dark and
fog and taking unawares the doomed
half hundred with the heaviness ot
sleep still on them. It told how the
stricken Monroe, with her side gored
deep, by the knife-like steel prow of
the Nantucket, filled rapidly, rolled
over on her side, and In a few min
utes turned over and plunged to the
bottom, carrying with her the pas
sengers and members of the crew
who had failed to get clear of the.
wreck.
When the crash came those aboard
the Monroe were In bed and asleep.
Only Captain Johnson and the crew
on deck were up. But the shriveling
of the stricken vessel and her listing
motion, as tho water poured through
the gash in her side, awakened the
sleeping passengers and sent them
clambering toward the deck. Warned
by the officers, they hurriedly adjust
ed life preservers and made for the
tilted deck. The time was too brief.
Those rescued agreed that from the
time the Monroe was struck until she
settled beneath the waves not more
than 10 minutes elapsed.
