Robert DIvcn failed to meet his Upper McKny creep appointment at 3 p. m. Sunday, being caught out In the violent rain, which made roads entirely impassable and traveling dan gerous. He preached nt Pilot Rock at 11 a. m. and was on his way to Upper McKay when overtaken by the storm. He avers that for a time the rainfall was heavier than he ever before saw It In any place or climate. He had Just crossed McKny and Its waters were never more quiet or clear when tho storm broke, and the boul ders began rolling and crashing. He took to a safe ledge at one side of tho road, and hung onto the lines and his courage as best he could. Within half nn hour the water was up to the high water mail, and carrying every imaginable kind of debris, which In. eluded boulders a foot In diameter, which came rushing down out of side canyons from every direction. Knowing that the roads to his des' tlnatlon would all be equally lmpass able, Mr. Dlven took across the res' ervatlon for home. The water had done queer things In places with the soil ot uneven density and friability While driving along in a perfectly level place one of his horses stepped Into a crevice four or five Inches wide and dropped abruptly about four feet. It was impossible to get the animal out sideways, and It floundered along for about a rod when the limit of the scoured out place was reached and the horse climbed to the surface. It had fallen into a pocket made by the washing out of a mass of loose soli surrounded hy heavier dirt, leaving an almost complete arch over a hole several feet wide. Mr. Dlven saw many evidences of THE NORGE SIIS IN MID OCEAN WITH 700 Oil BOARD Just long enoiiKh to be known slightly i tne people oi tne nurg. nut. not long enough to have much known nitwit him or leave a demilto scent for a trail.

T-ast Tuesday morning the Danish steamer Norge. which left Copenhagen June 22 for New York, with nearly Sl0 emigrants aboard, struck on ihe Isle of Itocknll. about 200 miles off the webt coast of Scotland, and all on board except 27 are thought to ha drowned. Heavy weather caused the Norge to run off her course When the ves sel struck the reef the emigrants wero below walling breakfast. Tho vessel was quickly hacked oft the rock, but the heavy seas rushed In through a big vent in her bows, caus ing the passengers to make a rush for the deck nbove. The hatchways were small and soon became clogged with human beings Boats Are Capsized. The vessel began to go down al most Immediately and eight boats were quickly lowered. Into which women and children were put. Out of these eight boats six were caught by the heavy seas, dashed against the side of the sinking vessel and their Inmates caught up and swept away. Many emigrants on board the sink ing ship grabbed life belts and threw themselves overboard and were drowned. Only three boats got safely away from the Norge. The survivors say that Captain Gundel stood until the last on the bridge of the sinking vessel and went down with the ship. Second Boat Heard From. Owing to the Norge sinking so sud denly more than GOO emigrants wero thrown Into the water. Such of these as could swim tried to reach the boats, but these were dreadfully crowded to the point of tlanger, their Inmates pushing the struggling wretches back Into the sea. Practi cally all of the occupants of the three boats that got safely away from the sinking ship were passengers and un accustomed to handling a boat. One of these three boats landed. More Rescued. A dispatch fr.m Lloyd's signal sta tion at Butt of Lewis, Scotland, this morning states that the German tank steamer Emlgl, which passed there this morning, signalled that she had aboard some castaways from the Dan ish steamer Norge. The survivors are probably those who got away In the second boat that was separated from that picked up by the trawler Silvia. While saving this second boat will reduce the list of loss of life, there is little doubt but that fully 700 went down with the Norge. There Is no trace of the third boat yet. Thirty-two More Survivors. Dispatches to Lloyd's from Storno way says that the steamer Cernova has landed 32 survivors of the Norge near there, while the German steara pr tfmioi Is off the harbor with 39 others. The Cernova has returned to tho scene of the disaster, ine Buri ....no o fitnmmvav state that four boats got away from the sinking ship and that nearly 200 children were aboard. Worst on Record. ii in nln ir circles agree that the disaster from a point of loss of life i i hp u-nrKt in the history of trans- Atlantic travel 693 passengers and a crew of 100 being auoara. ui meiso lens than 100 are known to have been saved. In nationality the passengers were composed of "S Danes, CS Swedes, Sl'G Norwegians, 15 Finns and 23ii Russians. One of tho survivors from tho life boat that was picked up by tho trawl er In gnlng Ins version of the scoiio says that when he reached the dock after the shock, that the vessel was half under water and rapidly sinking. The boats that had been launched wero rapidly filling with tho frighten ed emigrants, who were fighting for a place In one of the small craft. An otllcer succeeded In getting tho six women and one girl Into tho big lifeboat and then told the men to get In. This o fflcer then took charge of the boat, but after safely getting away from the sinking ship, and finding that the boat was overloaded, he jumped Into tho sea and attempted to reach another boat, but was drown ed In the swirling waters. Separated by the Tide. The escaping boats rowed together for some time, but finally became sop. arated owing to the strong tide drift' lng them away from each other. The trawler Silvia had been on a fishing cruise around the Hebrides nnd on this trip she steamed farther west than usual, and thus fell In with the first boat. Rockall, where tho Norge struck, is considered a very dangerous reef, tho rocks rising about 75 feet out of the water. The Norge has been In tho service of the Scandlnavlan-Amerlcau line plying between New York and Copen hagen for several years. She was an Iron vessel of 3338 tons gross and 2121 tons net. RESIDENTS OF OREGON. Anna and Elizabeth Buckley Were From Mosler. Spokane, Wash., July 5. Anna and Elizabeth Uuckley, passengers on tho Ill-fated steamship Norge, formerly lived In Oregon. They were residents of Mosler, Or., near Tho Dalles, About a year ago they left Mosler and went to Seattle, where they remained for six months. Then they muved to this city where they lived at 329V4 Sliokane avenue. They went to Europe to visit rela tives whom they had not seen for years, and In tho last letter received from them by friends In this city, they wrote that they Intended to sail by the Norge on their return, Survivors Sail for Boston. Liverpool, July 5. Twenty-seven survivors of the Norge disaster sailed for lioston today on board tho Cunard steamer, Saxonla. Others will bo for warded as hoon ub arrangements can be made. Anniversary of La Bourgoyne Wreck, New York, July 6. A strange ro Incident In connection with tho Norge disaster Is found In the fact that news thereof Is made public on the anni versary of the tragedy of tho French Line Btcamshtu I -a Ikiurgoyno, sunk In collision with the Cromartyshire, south of Sable Island, July 4, lfc98. Of the 739 persons on board, only 159 were saved. Of all tho women passengers, only one was saved, and tho nanlc before the ship went down still forms one of the most shocking tales of the deep.
