(Continued from First Pane.)
best to hurry., the Florida, which had
caused the dunuige, was steaming around
in the tiikvk Iogrtnk of the Capi. search
ing for the vm she had rammed. The
Impact of the collision drove both ves
sels apart, and It was three hours be
fore the Florida, leaking badly herself
and flyinir signals of distress, was able
aaln to pick up the foundering Republic
In tha meantime the wireless operator
on the big liner was repeating his sig
nals for aid, and reporting from time to
time encouraging answers from the fleet
of ships headed at top speed in his di
re3t!on. As soon as the Florida succeeded In
picking; up the Republic again, she hove
to besulo tha larger ship, and prepara-
lions werfc at once made to transfer tne
passengers of the White Star boat to the :
Italian liner. The sea was smooth and
oily, and the transfer u accomplished
wiUiout any difficulty. Two hundred and
fifty first caoin passengers were piacea in
the Republic's lifeboats and sent across !
the car between the two vessels, then
the -11 steerau passengers followed. The
crew of the Republic, D in all. re
mained "on the vessel In the hope of
raving her.
It was in the middle of the forenoon
that the transfer of passengers to the
Florida was made, and although the fog
was- very dense, unusually calm weather
for this Hawn enabled the transfer to
be made without accident. Only human
brings were taken In the lifeboats which
marie thff pass-aga between the two ves
sels, all baggage being left on board the
Republic Ry noon the Baltic and La
Lorraine were- ehse to the scene of the
accident, but owing to the dense fog,
were unable to locate the Republic, al
though the submarine bells could be
heard frequently.
Under the. direction of Captain Sealby,
the crew of the Republic, worked des
perately strengthening the water-tight
bulkheads, " which had been closed im
mediately after the collision; but one by
one these bulkheads gave way, and the
big ship slowly filled with water and
settled deeper and deeper into the sea.
At. 9 o'clock the crew was ordered to
abandon ner. Captain Sealby remaining
alone- ntr-the bridge of his vessel until the
last. Then -ha, too. reluctantly left the
sinking. liip, and rowing away a short
distance in his gig. so as to avoid the
suction of the diving hull, sat moodily
and watched his command disappear
beneath the waves. He then Joined bis
passengers and crew on the Florida."
Sends Message of Safety.
Captain Sealby," of the Republic, stayed
by his ?nip" wilh the crew until 9 o'clock
this .evenuijaV when the vessel was found
to b-tyyond salvage, and was aban
doned. Before leaving his vessel Captain
Seal'oy" had the wireless operator send
tha. following reassuring message to the
hundreds of mends of the passengers
who were besicgiug the offices of the
company: -
"Steamship,. Republic, oft Nantucket;
when.. 26 mites oiT Nantucket lightship
this uiominv- wu run into by an' unknown
vesu-ei. .Engine-room full of water.. Can
remain' afloat "iCo dsnrr. " No lives lost.
; - ''SklAljBY. Captain."
After this came the still more encourag
ing, report that XXut Florida had taken off
t!i, rxisaetig-Ta without accident. The
FlojUIa.is tut two-thirds the size of the
Republic and four years old.
' Second Transfer Made.
In", the-meantime the White Star liner
Baltic" had reached the scene of the ac
cident, and- with the Cunarder Lucania
hovorinsf near, started to convoy the
Floxftla. Into New York. After the three
shlpij "fcad "proceeded a short way on
their t:ip, 1t was deemed expedient to
make another transfer of the passen
gers.aa the Florida was already crowd
ed vitU. 9u0 refugees from the earthquake-stricken
regions of Ttaly, and
was '.tiergctt leaking: .badly. Once again
the VTjsijels; hove to. and the passengers
were again compelled to climb Into the
lifeboats f the White Star line, and
were rowed to tho Baltic whose- sides
loomed far above .them in the darkness.
In addition to the passengers of the
Republic, those of the Florida were also
. gotten u board the Baltic. The Florida's
passengers numbered S00 and those of
the republic 442. Both' vessels then
confirmed their. way. ... .
The fact that it was deemed advis
able to- take off the passengers of the
Florida Indicates that the latter steam
rr was seriously damaged in colliding
with the Republic.
All the vessels have drifted eastward
in theMast few hours. Shortly before
midnight the Republic was reported
to be. 10 miles south, of Nantucket
lightship, having drifted between 12 and
-'i miles from the joint .where tho col
lision occurred. '
lhrida Off Course.
The 'Eojmbllc was on her regular course
for the outward passage, but the Florida
was u-miles off the prescribed line for
Inward bound steamers. Whether she waa
tteekia la .return to that course or was
wamierlng tftill further astray in the fog,
cmlfl not be learned from the meager
dispatches received up to 10 o'clock to
ll; ah t. .
The wntertVr.t compartments prevented
a repetition uf Q. Burgojfrie disaster of
ten 3 ears nso'and kf-pt the Republio
afloat for more than 15 hours. The water
tight compartments installation not only
kept tne Florida above water. - but - en
abled Ikt to return-to the .aftfistance of
the RrfuMtc "after the fearful recoil of
the '.colics. on. - -
"I Other "Similar Collisions.
The accident to the Republic resembled
that which befell the steamer Oregon.
which was rammed and sunk without !
loss of life about is years ago off Fire
Island. 2jO mites nearer New York. An
other ocean accident of the same de
scription, but which was more fearful In
results wax that of the sinking of the
st-amer La Bourgom. 10 years ago last
July, by the ship Cromartyshire, off the
Nova Scotia coast. In which hundreds
lot their lives.
In the case of the Republic It was the
prompt cloHing of her watertight compart
ments that kept her -afloat and subse
quently saved the -lives - of those
on board. Ijite In the afternoon It was
learned from the RIUo that these com
partments were still holding the vessel
auuve water, but that the bulkheads and
coaipariiueat doora were under a fearful
train and likely to give way at any mo
ment Notwithstanding this, the crew clunc to
the ship in the hope that the Baltic or the
Lucanla and perhaps La Lorraine would
come alongside 'and take them off.

DEATH IX SXOW.
Stagedriver Saves Lives of His Pas'
sengers by Quick Action Near
Colorado Camp.
GRAND JUNCTION. Colo., Jan. 23.
Four men were killed and more than a
score had narrow escapes from death
when an avalanche of snow swept over
Camp Bird, at Ouray, late yesterday,
The dead:
S. G. DOUHITT. veterinary.
PETER SYNOT, a teamster.
GEORGE KNERR, a teamster.
JOHN WITTWER, camp cook.
The four men were talking in the
cookhouse when almost without warning
thousands of tons of snow, rocks and
dirt swept down the mountainside. The
shanty was in the path of the avalanche,
and the men were hurled Into the canyon
and their bodies covered with snow. It
will be midsummer before the bodies can
be recovered.
Caught In the steep mountain trails by
the blizsard which ragea all day were
eight slrf-horse teams, the Camp Bird
bullion stage, carrying $6000 in gold, and
many passengers. It is feared that they
may have been in the path of the slide,
and great anxiety Is felt for their safety,
The avalanche which swept the men to
their death was GO feet high, and It came
sweeping down the mountainside with
Irresistible force.
One of the heroes of the disaster Is
large dog owned by Etnll Johnson, a
teamster. Johnson saw the slide coming
and made a desperate effort to drive out
of the way. He was caught In the ava
lanche and burled deep beneath the snow.
The dog had seen his master caught,
and rushing at the snow, began to dig
furiously. He kept at It until he reached
the burled man, and Johnson crawled out,
none the worse for his experience.
Bill Barber, a teamster, saw the slide
coming and unhitched one of his horses.
mounted him and escaped on his back.
the slide missing him by only a few
inches.
"Dad" Austin, hero of many wild rides
through the mountains, and one of the
best stagedrlvers in th,e West, heard
the slide when It started. He was drfvn
lng a six-horse stage filled with, people,
and the horses were plunging along at a
gallop when he recognized the signs. In
stantly he threw all his weight on the
brake and succeeded in stopping the
stage on the verge of the avalanche.
Two of the leading horses were cut off by
the mass of enow and debris and carried
down into the canyon. The camp of the
Asenfelder freight gang was completely
wiped out. Forty horses were carried
Into the canyon and burled under tons
of snow. Another almost miraculous es
cape was that of Sam Morry, one of the
freight teamsters. He reached the edge
of the avalanche when his foot slipped
and he plunged into a snowbank. The
slide passed over blm and he crawled
out safely.
Still another teamster escaped In safety
to the edge of the slide, to be dragged
from hi horse and the animal thrown
to the ground by the force of the' wind
accompanying it. He was not Injured.

"The country is again being treated to
