Two 12-lnch shells from the Iowa pierced the Al mirante Oquendo at the same time, one forward and the other aft. For fifteen inlnutea the Iowa fought a terrific battle with the Vlacaya. The shells from tho Iowa tore great rents in the side of the Spaniard, who waa soon compelled to run for the beach. T'nwtlllng to call the American sol diers brutes, they call them fools.

The cnptuln of the Cromartyshire snld: "When my ship was sixty mile tiff South Snblp Island, she was on the port tack, hendlng west by northwest under reduced canvas, going four or five knot an hour. The fog horn was kept continually blowing. Shortly after I a. m. I heard a steamer's whistle on our weather bow, which seemed to be nen ring us very fast. "I blew our horn and v.as answered by the steamer's whistle. Suddenly a steamer loomed up through the fog on our port bow and crashed Into us. going at terrific speed. Our foremast and main topgallant mast were carried away. I Immediately ordered the boata nut and went to examine the damage, and found that our bow had been com pletely cut ffff and the plate twisted Into every conceivable shape." After the collision a terrible night was witnessed by the rescuers. Hun dreds of men and women were plead ing for assistance, grasping at every floating object and hearing heavily ore the life rnfta already overloaded.

There were three priests on board the passenger steumer. and they went about the vessel grunting absolution, tu the Catholics on board. On board the Ln Hourgognn were a large number of Italians and other foreignera who lacked the qualities which have ennobled men In previous marine disasters. Unhesitatingly they pulled out knlre alashing them right and left, killing and wounding the poor women and frightened children who Impeded and endangered their chances of escape. These brutal fiends would not even assist In launching a life boat in which 40 women and children had been gathered. When the great vessel went down these unfortunates were drawn down to death, when but a few stroke of tho knives In the hand of the foreign brute would have rescued them. Among the lost ore Mr. J. B.

There were many foreigner on board, calling themselve men, who fought for place In the boats. According to Mr. Henderson, It wa fully ten minutes before the illfated vessel went down after being struck, and there waa ample time to rescue at least some women and children.
