Iiee ho was the lnt man to speak
to Captain Kendall before the col

n fog will drop on you at tlin part
of the river.'"
When the cra-h came. Smart says,
he saw Captain Kendall on the
bridge. He was holding on to the
rail, shouting orders to the crew,
leaning over and waving his baud.
He heard him say: "Keep your head-,
there, and don't get excited."
When n boat dropped sideways
into the water the captain seemed to
realize that the liner wn lot, for
he sheuted: "Hurry up there, every
body. There Ts not a ihinulc to lose.

When he was able to swak, he look

SORROW OVER LOSS

LONDON? May .til. Tho Hritish
pnblje, whjcli went Jiome last night
believing tlmt the. greater part of the
passengers on the Empress of Ireland
had survived tho disaster in tho St.
Lawrence, was shocked this morning
to-learn (hnttluvJoss of life exceed
cd,jll)00 tuiil that iiitiuy of the vic
tim's were from the United Jxingilnm.
King George sent it messenger to
the European hiauager of the Can
adian Pacific railway expressing his
surnw nt the disaster and the great
loss of life,
John Hums, president of the local
government hoard, was one of the
tirst callers at the London offices of
the imuiny to ask for the latest
news. The lord mayor of London,
on learning the extent of the disas
ter, decided to open a fund towanl
the relief of the widows nnd or
phans of those of the passengers and
crew who had been lost.
Great crowds besieged the Loudon
mid Liierjtool offices of the com
pany and anxiously scanned the
lists of the rescued.
There werc'mnuy pitiable, scenes
when women ami turn who had wait
ed throughout tho night in the hope
of hearing that friends or relatives
were safe could not find their names
on the lists, and turned nwny in de

bulletins were posted.

SAILS FOR QUEBEC
RLMOCSKl, Quo., May HO.--Tho
government boat Lady Evelyn, with
more than IIQO dead from thVulcAuu
ship Empress of Ireland, steamed
nwny from ltimoiiski today for Que
bec, where, in uti impinviscd innrguo
the victims of the disaster will nwnit
identification. t
Cnptaiu Kendall of the Empress,
still suffering from nervous shock
nnd injuries, wns u little better this
morning. Ho bus not eontrueted
pneumonia, us wns reported. To
friends with whom he bus talked, ho
lamented bitterly tho failure of tho
collier Storlnd to hold her bow in
tho rent she hud opened in tho liner's
side.
It nppeurs that it wns misty, but
not uctuulty foggy, when the crush
occurred. The empress hud pnssed
Rimouski tit 1 :ft() n. m. nnd wns on
her course. Cnptnin Kendall wns on
the bridge and ordered tho ship
slowed down. Then ho inndc out tho
lights of nu approaching steamer. Ho
whistled and the steamer answered,
indicating that tho signal had been
understood. The vessels wore far
nplirl when lheso"Vignuls wcreer
ehnnged. As they emtio nearer Iho
Empress' engines cmuo to u full sjnp,
hut she drifted ' under her momen
tum. Then Cnptnin Kendall, it is
said, ordered "slow astern 1" The
Storstad kept on her way towards
the liner.
One theory expressed is that Cnp
tnin Anderson of .the Storstad tried
to cross the bow of the larger bout.
At any event, her nose missed the
bow of tho liner nnd plunged into her
just a mid-hip. It was not a severe
shock, but the wound inflicted wns ut
the siKit where the double hull nnd
bulkheads were of no avnil.
