The list published by the Great Eastern Railway Co. contains of course only the names of those who had booked berths, among them being 18 Englishmen and one lady, presumably an English woman, by name Miss Thomson. The “Berlin” was well-known to passengers to the Continent by the Harwich route as being with the “Dresden”, the largest and most luxurious of all the Great Eastern fleet. The two boats were those generally employed on the Harwich-Hook of Holland traffic; smaller vessels work the Harwich- Antwerp line. This is the first accident the Great Eastern Railway have had on their route since it w r as founded some twenty years ago. The Dutch Coast, however, near the Hook of Holland, is well-known as being of a dangerous character; some six or seven years back a small Dutch trading vessel, with several English passengers who were going to play at a music-hall in Rotter dam, went down with all on board just outside the river. Gne of the Great Eastern boats grounded last year at Maasluis, but was got off without any serious damage. There have been several other wrecks in the neighbourhood; and hardly a month passes in the fishing season without one of the Dutch fishing smacks from the neighbouring villages of Katwyk, Nordwyk, and Scheveningen eing lost. It is safe to say, however, that nobody who ever went across by the Great Eastern route thought there was the least danger in the journey tor apart from the slight mishap above alluded to’ nothing has ever occurred to give the least alarm to passengers. pJ he /^ rlin ” WaS due at the Hook of Holland j , a * and the -that she had hardly ntered the Nieuwe Waterweg (the new channel) I ° u clock ’ indicates that, had all gone well, she would have been about an hour and a half late thio arn y a • There is nothing exceptional about „ ' ’ seein 8 that at this time of year, when gales sprv* ] n the North Sea ’ the cross-channel services are often three or four hours late.

Her passengers are unable to throw any light on the disaster since they embarked late 01 u- Tb “ rsda y night and of course passed the wreck which is fast breaking up, in the darkness. A member of the crew of the s. s. “Clacton”, which lay to m the vicinity of the wreck and attempted m vam to rescue those on board, has made the following statement. “We started about an hour and a half later than the “Berlin” and reached the mouth of the Maas at about 6.30 a m There we saw the “Berlin” lying broadside on at the end of the North Mole. Captain Dale at once sheered off and as we made a circle to avoid the fate of the Berlin we nearly went aground our selves. After we had turned, Captain Dale at once went to work and endeavoured to give assistance to the stranded steamer. A fearful north westerly gale was blowing and the sea was running mountains high. We steered close to the rocks but had to retreat again as we could do nothing. We then attempted to launch the lifeboat but found it im possible, so tremendous was the sea. Again and again we attempted to reach the wreck and only desisted after several hours when we could see no more sign of life on board of her. At first we had seen groups of persons on board, some on deck and some in the smoking room, and as we got near the “Berlin” they called out to us. There seemed to be nothing like panic on board, perfect order prevailing. All were wearing lifebelts and had clustered together on the lee side of the ship to find some shelter from the tremendous seas which were breaking over the ship, hiding the tunnels and masts in clouds of spray. We ap proached within a hundred yards of the wreck and threw our lifebelts over attached to lines but failed to reach the “Berlin”. Suddenly she broke in two and we saw the passengers and crew swept away and drowned before our eyes. We heard their cries for help but could do nothing. When we passed the scene of the disaster on our way back to Harwich we could only see the stern of the ship sticking up from the water and not a soul was to be seen on board. The fore part of the ship sank first and numbers of persons were drowned then. Captain Dale did everything he possibly could and we were ourselves in great danger as the waves were beating over us with tremendous force. We IS? i- ,° f course > recognise those on board the Berlin ; they were huddled together, but we could hear their cries for help sounding over the storm- lashed waters.” The latest news from the Hook is that of the ten persons saved six were passengers, among them Fraulein Gabler of the Dresden Opera House, and thn VAOt mnn/. T? 1*1. * « * , I d HUUctJ. clIICl the rest were English members of the crew It was believed on Friday night that three women are still on the wreck. It was rumoured at first that the opera singer u- ei j* Rraus was . on bo ard the doomed vessel, but his father, a retired army surgeon living in Prague has received a telegram from Leipzig that his son and his wife have arrived there safely. Herr Kraus might easily have been one of the ill-fated passengers, but it appears that Herr van Dyck told him a week ago in confidence that his con tinued indisposition made it impossible for him to continue his season of German opera in London Herr Kraus accordingly left England with his wife on Sunday, but the unfortunate chorus singers who were not told of Herr van Dyck’s change of plans, were unable to leave until last Wednesday night and so perished. ^ understood tbat among those on board the Berlin” were J. F. Rollason, the jockey, and his father. Rollason left Harwich iast night for Holland, where he was under orders to ride for Chev. Kattendyke for eight months. Another account, dated Friday evening, reaches U f ^ on \. Rotterdam of the rescue of the survivors of the disaster. After repeated endeavours to reach thr °." l hursda J' ni « h ‘. lifeboat made three attempts at rescue on Friday. The first two were unsuccessful but the captain of the lifeboat remarked, on returning from his second trip, that du e rinS ir ih/ t f t f mpt ’ WMch he P ur P 0Se d to make 1 in H the afternoon » promised greater success. At .45 the pilot steamer the “Hellevoetsluys”, started out, the weather was at first tolerably favourable f« U r S °Th o and f now made im Possible to see far The Hellevoetsluys” first launched and took Sma l -° at V 1 which was seated a pilot, boon afterwards six pilots were to be seen in the iron tower of the lighthouse. After several fruit less attempts by means of a hawser, communica- i^ a ? es fa bbshed between the wreck of the Berlin and the lighthouse tower. Immediately one person from the wreck let himself down from the hawser and landed on the Mole. Other per sons followed and, at the end of three quarters of an hour, a number of the rescued were on the Mole. A tug brought the news to the Hook that ten persons had been saved and that the attempts d fSt\ We fv! continued > although rendered difficult by the driving snow. When the first life boat ran in, it was greeted with enthusiasm. This boat announced that eleven persons, among them two women, had been saved and were all on board the Hellevoetsluys”, and that there were still two women on the wreck who were too exhausted to trust themselves to the hawser. Although the rescue parties had been working for 36 hours, they wished to continue their efforts, in order to save these two women too. When the “Hellevoetsluys” arrived, and Prince Henry landed, he was greeted by the crowd with loud cheers and cries of “Long live the Prince!” s The rescued persons were at once conveyed in automobiles to the “Hotel Amerika”, were every preparation had been made for their reception. Ihey received every possible attention and were put at once to bed. n. ^^ tnsterdain Telegraaf of yesterday learns that the three women who were still on the wreck were escued at 3 o’clock on Saturday morning.

The Lower House, by 263 votes to 34, today passed the second reading of the deceased wife’s sister Bill The Secretary of State for War has issued a memorandum on the army budget for 1907-1908- the total outlay is estimated at 27,760,000 pounds! ion« ion- & *‘. eductlon of ovei ‘ two millions on the 1906-1901 estimates. In the memorandum it is an nounced that not only will extra pay be given for long service, but that those men who have reached a required standard of excellence in shooting signalling, &c. will receive special service pay in proportion to their progress. The memorandum repeats the points of view and proposals put forward by Mr. Haldane in his recent opccCiiGS* NEWS FROM AMERICA. THE JAPANESE DIFFICULTY. New York, February 22. Now that the new Immigration Bill has been signed, and Washington is still without any re presentations from the Japanese Government, it is taken for granted that Japan agrees for the present at any rate, to accept the situation. Dispatches rom Tokio show- that the act has been received there by the Press and public generally with more calmness than was expected. The feeling among the coolies in Hawaii is no guide to Japanese feel ing generally. A large number of the Japanese who have emigrated to Hawaii have done so merely in order to qualify themselves for emigra- tion to San Francisco, where the conditions of labour and the opportunities for advancement are much more favourable. Under the new condition of things they see themselves doomed to remain in Hawaii, or return home, a choice of two evils for those who desired to make fortunes in California. I he only thing that can save them is an unexpected generosity on the part of the President, but this is not likely. SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Johnstown, Pennsylvania, February 23.
