A Salvation Army Officer's Experience. Riraouskr, Friday.—Thrilling exper- iertces have been rotated by Salvation Army survivors of 1h0 Krapress of Jre- land disaster. Captain Wilson, of Tor- onto, shared a cabin with Adjutant Green and Bandsman Johnston, who were saved, and Captain Dodd, of Tor- onto, who perished. Ca,ptain Wilson was awakened by the collision, hut thought so little of the matter that he did not get up at first. Finding the ship listing, however, he row with the others and went out, but owing to the slant of th3 deck; they ha.d difficulty in climbing to the rail. At la<st, after they had noticed an odour of gas, there came a roar of a terrible explosion, and Captain Wilson found himself thrown, half stunned, against the rail, which he grasped. He climbed over and found himself setting, I with hundreds of other passengers, on the ship's side which, as the vessel! settled, became almost horizontal. j in th-a Water. A few moments later he was in the swirling water. He siezed a piece of wreckage as he felt himself being sucked down, and he was under water for seemingly an interminable period. On coming to the surface he mice lost and regained his hold of the wreckage. The water was intensely cold, but Capt. Wilson managed to hold on until he, was picked up by the second life-boat j which passed the first, being already overcrowded. He was given an oar, but was too benumbed to hold it, and he fainted. The npxt thing he remem- bered wa? being hauled into the Stors- tad bv a rope.

I Montreal, Saturday.—A message from Capta-in Bolauger, of the Govern- ment steamer Eureka, which was the I first to reach the scene of the disaster, says that he brought to Father Point o0 bodies and sixty survivors. He relates that when he was told of the disaster by the Marconi operator at. Father Point, he immediately got his creav together, and turned the Eureka towards where the Empress of Ireland had disappeared. He picked up several smal l boat-s and lifted the men, women and children from them into his own ship. The survivors declared that everything had happened so quickly that they .scarcely realised what had oc- curred. Ail they could say was that the ship had gone, and that there was not ever time to cry "Women first!" There were so few women and cihldren saved, not because of any crowding in the lifeboats, but because the stewards had not sufficient time to awaken the passengers. Those saved say they were tossed lout of bed and ran on deck, and had just .tim0 to get into the lifeboats and pull away. Those who waited to idi-ess. or even waited to he called by the stewards, were drowned. Hundreds inusst have been drowned in their sleep. The dead bodies were picked up by the Eureka's crew, who carried them to the stern and laid them in the open, cover- ing them with sheeting. The survivors, who snatched at clothing of any kind to protect them- selves from the cold, walked about in a frantic condition on the decks cJ: the Eureka. As soon as the Eureka had reached Father Point wharf, a call for doctors went out. The scene was piti- ful in the extreme. Some of the sur- vivors screamed that they must land at Father Point, when they were told it would be better to proceed to Rimouski. A message was sent ahead to Mr. Webbar, too Canadian Pacific agent, who had only left the Empress of Ire- land at Rimouski a few hours before the disaster, to prepare to receive the dead. and the survivors. The Eureka pro- ceeded to the wharf at Rimouski, and one hour after she docked the Lady Evelyn steamed into sight. She carried 20 dead and 80 living. One hysterical survivor had to be held on board by two of the crew to prevent1 her from jupmin goverboard. She kept, screaming in agony, "Leonard, my poor Leonard!" She is believed to be the] wife of Mr. Leonard Palmer, the wen known English journalist, who organ- ised a party of British manufacturers who came to Canada two years ago. It is feared that Mr. Palmer was drowned.
