Eight hundred persons are missing and,it is believed, have perished as the result of the sinking last night of the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Ireland in the St. Lawrence River, off Father Point in the county of Rimouski, " : province of Quebec, following a collision with the Norwegian Collier Storstad. V V ill-fat- Three hundred and fifty of the passengers and crew of the ed ship have been landed at the little town of Rimouski, and the remainder of the approximately twelve hundred who were on the ship are not accounted for. ' ;:, The impression that they have been lost'is furthered from the reports that the Empress of Ireland sank within ten minutes after the collision. , ' The ships were running in a heavy fog when the crash came. : v , While reports from the scene of the disaster are meager it is not believed that the survivors, though landed on the sparsely settled Rimouski ' coast, are suffering greatly from exposure as the weather has been extremely mild for this season of the year. ; Among- - the 1200 persons on board the Empress of Ireland were a large party of Salvation ArmyWorkers. Early, reports stated that the Empress of Ireland had collided'with the German steamer Hanover and that both ships had gone down, the Empress of Ireland with its 1200 persons and the Hanover with 1318 passengers aboard and a large crew. Later reports, however, definitely established the other ship in the collision as the collier Storstad, Captain Anderson. ' :i :': The Empress of Ireland, which was the crack liner of the Canadian Pacific fleet, being the lares(t placed in commission, was carrying seventy-se- ven first class passengers, 206 second class, 504 third class and crew of about 400 men" when it struck the Storstad. She was in command of Lieutenant Kendall, Royal Naval Reserve. ' The Empress of Ireland was'Iaunched at Glasgow on January 28, 1906. It was 569 feet in length; 65 feet 6 inches in width, its tonnage was : ' ' .'..-';- .' . v v . 14,500 and displacement 20,000 tons. - - r. Not quite two years ago, the Empress of Britain, tistep ship of the Empress of Ireland, and in practically th; same locality as last night's disaster, rammed and sank the collier Helvetia. The Empress of Britain, however, ' escaped serious damage, rescued all the passengers aboard the Helvetia and took them into Montreal. , ' , Langtcy Aeroplane PEACE OH Disasters- - Decade ROSE PROMOTED G OVER DR-- G S First Built, Made : Marine of Past ; y JOB DEALS ? to.
