FIGHTING FOR THE LIFE BOATS

Women and Children Pushed Aside

IN A DESPERATE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE.

Terrible Scenes on the French Liner After the Collision.

{SpeciaL to Tue Examiner-

Hauirax, July 7.—Early in the morn- ing of July 4th., the French liver La Burgoyne, with 725 souls on board was run down by the iron sailing ship Cro- martyshire, and such a terrific hole was toru io the big steamer’s port side that she sank with'u balf an hour. The disaster oceurred at 5 oclock, aboat sixty miles south of Suble Island, which is nearly one bundred miles off this port.

The Burgoyne lett New York for Havre on Saturday while the Cromartyshire was for this The fog, as usual at this time of the year,

ox her way from Glasgow side, was very dense, and the big iron ship was sailing along with and blowing her foghorn. Suddenly out of the fog rushed a steam-~

er and in a moment there was a fearful

easy canvas

crash. The bow prow of the ship plung

into the port side of the steamer just under the bridge. The shock was a terrific one The entire bow of the ship was demolish- ed.

The steamer plunged on into the fog azain, her whistle crying for help and her rockets signalling berdistress. The Cro. martyehire was rounded and found to be in no donger of sinking. All the boats of the ship were launched.

Half an hour after the collision occur- red the fog rose, giving a clear view of the fearful struggles for life on board the La Burgoyne. Few besides on deck; but the shock roused everyone and the decks with struggling terrified passengers.

At firstitseemed az ifthere was some attempt at discipline. A few of the boats were swung off and some of the passen- gers were allowed to get into them. But as the steamer began to setile and list to port the officers and a panic ensued

The passengers and crew fougbt for the boats and life rafts, the women and child- ren being pushed far away from any hope of rescne. Fists, oars and even knives were used by some to keep their places. The fight for life on the deck of the steamer did not last Jong, for.in little less than half an hour she gave a jong lurch to port and went down.

The boa's of the Cromartyshire came up at this time and the work of rescue com- menced. Thecrew of the ship worked heroically and saved every one who had managed to keep above water, bat even then scores fell away from the boats or wreckage exhausted and were drowned. It was all over in an hour.

Along in the afternoon the steamer Gresian was sighted coming from the westward and in a few hours had traps- ferred the rescued and taken the Cro~ marthyshire in tow arriving here yesterday morning.

Strangely enough Prof. Lacasse is th, only man of the saloon passengers who survives, while his wife is the only wom- an of 200 on board the ship who escaped.

The second officer of the Burgoyne -vas the only man of the crew who did any-~ thing to help the terrified and helpless passengers. He cut Joose al] the boats that were launched. Ile was last seey standing on deek with his hand on the rig- ging going resignedly to death.

Hatirax, N.S., July 7.—The scenes on board the La Burgoyne just after the col- lisiop, #urvivors say, were terrible to witness. Men fought for positions on the boats like maniacs.

her crew were

were soon crowded

lost control of the crew

Women were forced back from the boats and trampled on.

So desperate was the situation that an ltalian passenger drew dis knife and made atbrustat one who like himself was en~

deavoring to reach the boate. Immedia- tely the action was im'‘tated in every direc- tion. Knives were flourished and ueed with deadly effect. Even the sick were not respected, and, faccording to the stories of some of the survivors,women were stabbed like so many sheep.

The scene on the water was even woree. Many of the unfortunate, who were strug- gling in the water attempted to drag them- selves into the boats and on rafts, but were radely pushed back.

The surviving passengers and sea- men were embarked last night for Boston in the steamer Halifax, and will arriv, there on Friday morning at daylight.
