was pretending on her way, when be-
tween band 3 o'clock on the morning
of Friday Last, while In a dense fog,
a whistle was heard. Captain Skrlm-

later there was an awful mash, and
the vesse: was upon ibis rooks. Form -
tiny the fog signal nn the end of the
Island was a gun, but a short time
ago a whistle was substituted, and
this was the whistle that was heard.
The captain, It Is reported, rseerte
that. be was never notified of the
change, and so It was that the disas-
ter occurred. At once the vitae: be-
gan to 11.1 and then listed and threa-
tened to back .off tato the sea, while
the bewildered and thoroughly terri-
