PAG ft TWO. THE MORNING ASTORlAN, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 1904, STORIES OF SURVIVORS Wreck Victims Who Reach Grims' by on Steam Trawler Are in Pitiable Condition. THE. WOMEN ACTED BRAVELY Bush for First Boats to Be - Launched Resulted In Their : Loss, Adding to the Jium. ber Drowned. riplmohv Fnir. Julv 4. Owln to the strict enforcement ot certain res illations and the fact that there is no Danish consul here, all the survivors ef the Norge, who arrived here on the "steam trawler Salvia, were kept on that .vessel all night. They were In pitiable condition This morning, In the dingy cabin of the trawler the representative of the Associated Press saw over a dozen persons, Including five women and two rhiidren. huddled together. Each of three of the women was In a bunk, one was lying on the cabin floor and the ther was leaning against the captain berth, too bewildered to move. Two ot the women pleaded to see a Danish minister of the gospel, but the one settled here happened to be away. John Johansen, a gray-bearded man from Tromsoe, said "When the ship first bumped most f us were below. All rushed to the deck. I had my wife and five children with me. At first none of us was aware what happened when we kept aulet, but In a minute or two we saw the ship was sinking, and then there were such shrieks and cries too awful to hear "We had nearly 200 children aboard and they screamed with ter ror. Their mothers, too, were almost frantic though some of them, calmer than the others, began putting their little ones in the rigging and other elevated positions. So far as I could see, the officers of the ship kept very calm, but the passengers were uncon trollable. Men and women began Jumping into the sea, while others ran up and down trying to snatch life belts from those who had them. As soon as the first boat was got out there was a mad rush for her, with the re sult that three boats were lost. Mean while I had put my wife and five chil dren on a hatch and implored them not to move until I returned. When I saw other boats being launched 1 returned to fetch my wife and chil dren, but they had disappeared. They had either got into another boat or were carried away in the mad rush. 1 am absolutely alone in the world, j Our boat was crowded to nearly double Its proper number. All around us people were struggling in the sea, shrieking for help and imploring us to take them in. We had an old sail and a couple of oars, but no. mast. In launching the boat a big hole wasj knocked in her side and we men had to take turns in balling her out. We could do nothing but allow the boat to drift The five women behaved splendidly, never murmuring. All around us were hundreds fighting for their lives. The shrieks as they left the ship, partcu larly the chldren, could be heard above all the confusion around us. But it was soon over, as we saw the Norge sink In less than half an hour from the first shock." Another survivor told the Associat ed Press representative that most of the pasengers on the steamer were going out to friends In America. One ef the five surviving women was going cut to her husband and she had throughout clung to her little girl of 6. Another woman in her delirious Joy at being picked up, offered one of the crew of the trawler her wedding ring. While some of the boats were over crowded, others, according to the sur vivors, had only a few persons in them. The captain absolutely refused to leave the ship. He was standing on the bridge and appeared to be over ome at the appalling catastrophe. It appears that the weather was very hazy when the Norge struck, but the captain of the trawler and others says Rockall reef is so well known, and especially to New Tork traders, that they cannot understand how the steamer struck. "We had just got down our gear Wednesday morning," said the mate of the trawler, "when we saw the boat, f At first we took little notice af her, but finally made out through a glass that she was full of people. We immediately hauled up our trawl and bore down with all speed. The occu pants of the steamer were in a pitiable plight drenched, half clad and ex hausted. We got them aboard and fitted them as we could, made the women aa comfortable as possible and Imme diately sailed for home. GLOOM AT COPENHAGEN. News of Disaster Renders Frantic the Friends of Victims. Copenhagen, July 4. The news of the disaster to the Danish steamer Norge oft the west coast of Scotland, In which over 700 persons are reported to have lost their lives, created inde scribable excitement here. The first message . reached here at 4 o'clock this morning. Crowds soon gathered about the offices of the line, relatives of those on board fran tically seeking for Information. The offices, however, do not open until 9 o'clock. 'A feeling of general gloom and mourning is beginning to pervade Co penhagen. The Norge had no first-class passen- gers on board and only nine on her second cabin list These included three Americans Elisabeth and Anna Buck ley and Hllma Flelschman. All the others were in the steerage. They comprised many Russians, Swedes and Norwegians, the smallest proportions being Danes. The Norge carried a crew of SO. She was the oldest Danish Transatlantic steamer running. LA BOURGOGNE DISASTER. News of Loss of Norge Comes on Its Anniversary. New Tork, July 4. A strange co- Incidence in connection with the Norge disaster is found in the fact that news thereof is made public on the annl- ersary of the tragedy of the French line steamship La Bourgogne, sunk in collision with the Cromartyshire, south of Sable island, July 4, 1898. Of the 739 persons on board only 159 were saved. Of all the women passengers, only one was saved, and he panic be fore the ship went down still forms one of the most shocking tales of the deep. LONDON TO BE INVADED Dowieand His Followers to Go Thither in Fleet of Cos pel Ships.

(At his tabernacle in Zlon City in the course of his first sermon after his return from his globe-girdling trip, Dr. Dowle has announced his plan. He I called upon all who wished to go with him to rise to their feet, and 000 peo ple, or nearly everyone in the hall stood up. No time whs set for the invasion and Powle'a followers do not expect it will be attempted until after next year. The announcement of Dowle followed an attack on the government and the Church of England. He attributed his recent failure to obtain halls for preaching or accommodations for him self and fellow travelers it Several London hotels to the influence of high officials In the capital. This influence was brought to bear, he Intimated, as a result of his diatribes against King Edward, delivered at the Audtorium in Chicago. John Howard Adams Dead. New York, July 4.

Vacation time should bring rest, rerreatlon and comfort; and comfort of the solid and pleasing variety means no high collar, no stiff hat and no Itching scalp. It is for this last dis comfort that Newbro's Herpicido becomes a summer necessity, as it stops itching of the scalp and Prickly Heat almost instantly. Take Herplclde with you on your vacation. ...SCALP WARNING.. Itching of the scalp Is not so much a punishment for past neglect as it is a warning for the future. It shows, almost consluslve ly, that the vine-like, mlcrobic growth that causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair has entered the Sebaceous glands and unless this growth is stopped and kept out of the scalp, baldness will follow. ...IT IS CONTAGIOUS.. It was Prof. Unna (ask your doctor about him), who first pointed out that the true cause of hair loss is a germ or microbe that lodges in the scalp where it causes dandruff. Being of mlcrobic origin the disease is necessarily contagious but Dr. Sabouraud has recently called attention to the highly contagious nature of dandruff, and the necessity of constant watchfulness to avoid It. Kill the dandruff germ with Herplclde. UNSTERILIZED PUBLIC HAIR-BRUSHES, says Dr. A. Cartas, are to blame for most of the baldness that is prevalent today. He further states that, "baldness begins in the young." By this he means that the germ that causes the disease is planted in the scalp of young men and that some times years elapse before the de struction is complete. "i' :. WILL NOT GROW HAIR.. Newbro's Herpicide Is a "Hair-Saverj" it will not grow hair nature does this but by destroying the enemies of hair health, it enables the hair to grow as nature intended except in chronic baldness. Save your hair with Herplclde. Wonderful results follow its use. HOT WEATHER TROUBLES.. During hot weath ed the minute sudatory glands of the scalp are called upon to perform an extra amount of labor. The per spiration that exudes in increased quantities must be handled promptly as it carries out poisonous and re fuse matter that would otherwise clog up the pores of the scalp. Incomplete elimination of refuse matter produces a hot and feverish condition of the scalp, familiarly known as Prickly Heat, for which Herpl clde gives immediate relief. Ladles will find Herpl clde indlspenslble. It contains no grease, will not stain or dye. It is an exquisite hair dressing that COOLS, COMFORTS and DELIGHTS. NO COMPLAINT FROM OUR CUSTOMERS.
