SEVENTY LOST
IN A COLLISION

(Caredian Press Despatch)

Gibraltar, Aug. 10.—Rammed
by the British steamer Silver-
ton during a dense fog in the
Straits of Gibraltar today, the
French mail steamer Emir car-
ried down with her 93 of her
passengers and crew.

Immediately after the crash
the Silverton lowered all her
boats, but hampered by the
fog, they were only able to res-
cue 23 of those on the Emir
which sank within five minutes
after the vessels collided. The
bow of the Silverton was stove
in by the impact and only the
hardest pumping enabled her
to reach this harbor with news
of the disaster. Her forepeak
was full of water and she was
so much down by the head that
she would barely answer her
helm. Nearly all the passen-
gers on the Emir were French.
She had sailed from Gibraltar
early this morning for a Mor-
occan port.

 

May with Mail
This afternoon the C. P. R. S.S.
the

 

Princess May is due from
south with passergers, carge and
mail. She will proceed north to
