ELLA
ID
Foundered in a Fog" Off the
English Coast.
LOSS OF LIFE REACHES 120
Tha Tenet Struck the Ureailed Catqnat
Stock, Near the Jilanil or Ainernej,
and Went Down In Ten Minutes.
Koulhamntnn. Annl 3. The passcn
ger steamor Stella, plying between this
nort and tho Channel island, crashed
upon tho dreaded CaiQ.net rocks, near
the Island of Aldernoy, yesteniay anor
noon, in a dense fog, and foundered in
10 minutes. Her boilers exploded with
a tremendous report as she went down.
Tho coastini! steamer Lynx, which
brought the news of the disaster heio(
picked up four boats anil 40 persons,
It is estimated that 120 persons wore
drowned.
The second officer of tho steamor.
who was anione tho icsoucd, says a col
lapsible boat was launched full of poo
pie, but ho thinks it stiuck on the
rocks, owinir to tho fog. Another
stenmci has picked up a boat contain
ine 45 persons, including 30 women
who escaped from the wrecked steamer.
Tho Stella left Southampton yester
day conveying tho first excursion of the
season to tho Channel islands. There
wero about 185 rwusengorson Itoard nnd
a crew numberinc 25 mon. The
weather was foggy. At 4 o'clock Cas
quot rock suddenly loomed up thiough
the fog bank, and the steamer almost
immediately afterwards struck amid
ships. Tho captain, seeing tho steamer
was fast sinking, ordered the lifeboats
launched. Women and children were
embarked in the boats. Then tho cap
tain ordered tho men to look after
themselves.
A survivor stated that ho and 25
others put off from tho steamor in
small boat. The sea was calm, but
there was a big swirl around the rocks.
When this boat was a short distance
away from tho wreck tho boilers of the
Stella burst with a terrific explosion
and tho vessel disappeared stern fore
most in tho sea. The last thing tha
survivor saw was the figure of tho cap
tain of the Stella standing calmly on
the bridge and giving his last instruc
tions. The survivor referred to said:
"The suction was so tremendous that
we thought our boat would be en
gulfed. I saw five boats and the col
lapsible boat besides our own leave tho
wreck. They contained altogether be
tween 80 and 100 people. Fivo of tha
boats were soon lost to view, but we
took a boat filled with women in tow,
and the occupants of our boat took oars
in turn and lowed all night long until
most of us dropped asleep, thoroughly
exhausted. We sighted a sailboat at 6
o clock in the morning, hut the steam
er Lynx from Weymouth had mean
whilo hove in sight. She took us all
on board. She eventually landed us at
Guernsey."
The Groat Western Railway Com
pany's steamer Vera, from Southamp
ton, picked up 40 others of the snrviv-
rs and landed them at Guernsey.
Up to noon 112 passengers have boen
unaccounted for.
Later accounts say the Stella had 140
passengers on board, and that her crew
numbered 42 persons.
Another steamer of the same com
pany which arrived at the island of
Jersey about noon today reports having
passed many bodies of victims of the
disaster about tho Casquet rocks.
A surviror of tho disaster named
Bush" says tho speed of the Stella in
the fog was not diminished, though the
fog whistles wore sounded. Bush adds
that at 3:30 P. M. the engineer showed
him in the engine-room a dial register
ing a spoeu oi io Knots, lie says
tho vessel strnok within 25 minutes
afterward. Bush further asserts that
two lifeboats wore sunk with the
steamer, which after resting on the
rocks for 10 or 15 minutes split in two
and disappeared. It is thought possi
ble tho Partons were the only Ameri
cans on board, as tho list of suivivon
does not contain tho names of any other
Americans, as far as known. Tho
second mate was tho only officer of the
Stella who was saved.
