A WATERY GRAVE, A Large Steamer Sinks French Schooner. BAD COLLISION AT SEA. Sixteen Fishermen are Drowned The Ac- cident Occurred on the Grand Banks During a Partial Fog—Both Vessels Are Madd to Fave Been Golng at Full Speed. A New York special says: The Thingvalla Line steamer Norge, which just arrived here, reports that she sunk the French fishing schooner La Coquette, of Bayonne, France, on the Grand Banks. The captain and eight seamen were saved, Sixteen went down with the unfortunate vessel. The Norge salled from Stettin, August 8. The ‘weather was generally fine to the Banks of Newfoundland, when it became foggy, with patches of clear weather, On Saturday, August 20, between three and four o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was foggy, but not so thick that the vessel's speed was reduced. Captain Knudsen said he could see about three cable lengths ahead, The wind was fairly Lrisk from the west-south- west, when a vessel suddenly loomed up from the north with salis full, and stood directly across the bow of the steamer. The bells were rung to stop and back at full speed, but too late to check the steamer's headway, The strange, a fishing schooner, fell across the bow, and, with a crash, was forced over and sunk. Three men sprung aboard of the Norge. The passengers of the Norge, most of whom were about the decks, rushed about in alarm at the shook, but were soon quieted when they learned that the steamer was uninjured. A boat was lowered, and six men and a dog were picked up. The vessel sank almost imme- diately, and in sinking carried with her six- teen of her crew. Among those saved was the captain, Capt. Knudsen, of the Norge, paid that as a steam vessel, he was obliged to keep out of the way of all salling eraft, but that this was a time when the salling vessel could do more to help hersel! than the steamer. The latter was going ahead at full speed, for the fog was not, in the judgment of the captain, sufficient to re- duce headway. The flsherman was an ac- tive vessel bad a good breeze, and was un- der good steerage way, but made no ate tempt to avoid the collision, keeping on with sails full until squarely under the bow, The collision cocurred so suddenly that the steamer's headway could not be stopped promptly. The large hull of the Norge, Captain Koudsen sald, should have been visible for a long distanée, The captain and the erew saved were taken to the French consul's office, The Captain's “tory. Captain C. B. Knudsen, of the Norge, after landing, said: “While coming along the banks we met with a dense fog; had been continuously on the brides for twenty-two hours, Between 3 and 3.30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, when the steamsbip was going at one-half speed, and when the fog was not so thiek, I sud- denly heard the siren of the shooner dead abead. I saw a*a glaoce that a eolilsion was unavoidable. The Norge must run into the schooner or suffer the fate of La Bour- 8ogue Ly Leing run Into by the schooner, As the Norge had a large number of passen- gers on board, I preferred to take the chance, I ordered the Norge to go full speed. We ran into the bow of the schooner, and tore a hole three feet wide, As the sen was choppy, and as the Norge rose and fell with the heavy swell, the hole in the schooner was made larger, “Three of the men the schooner clambered up on the Norge by means of the from anchor chains. There were six or seven men floundering around in the water, Our second officer, Nicholson, lowered 5 boat and picked up the men, nine in all. The other sixteen men could in the choppy sea. The suction caused by the settling of the schooner drew them under, They could not be saved. The ac- cident was unavoidable," The anchor of La Coquette made a mark on the bow of the Thingvalia loner.
