Norfolk, Va., Jan. 30.-The story of how 43 people went down to death in the chill water of the Atlantic when toe liner Nantucket rammed and sank the steamer Monroe early today was brought to port tonight by 85 surviv ors of the sunken ship's passengers, .rescued and brought to shore by the Nantucket. It was a story of awful and sudden death, sweeping out of the dark and fog and taking unawares the doomed half hundred with the heavi ness of sleep still upon them. It told how the stricken Monroe, with her side gored deep by the knifelike steel prow of the Nantucket, filled rapidly, rolled over on her side and in a few min utes turned completely over and plung ed to the bottom, carrying with her the ill -fated passengers and members of the crew who had failed to get clear of the wreck. Tonight the revised lists prepared by Capt. Johnson, who survived the sunken vesseel, showed: 'Lost: Passengers 19, creew 21, total 43. Saved: Passengers 36, crew 55, total 91. Creeping Through Fog. Under the thick fog that hid the heavily running sea, both big ships were making their way slowly and with diffieulty in the early morning. The Monroe, with 'Ca'pt. Johnson on the bridge and a double lookout peer ing into the fog ahead, was edging under half speed to the northward, having left Norfolk 'for New York last evening with a nerve racking, fog bound voyage in prospect. The Nan tucket, heavily laden with freight and with two passengers aboard, was nos ing her way southward, bound from Boston to Norfolk. Urged thrugh the dr'ipping fog, the two vessels slowly were drawn toward each other. The crash came about 1:40 o'clock without warning. Out of the gray black fog that shut out even the waves from view, the gleam of the INantucket's searchlight scarcely touched the dripping side of the Monroe before the 'high steel prow of the southward bound vessel cut into her side with 'a ripping and crashing of plates that threw the stricken ship aback. The Damage Done. The Nantucket with her bow crush ed in, backed out of sight in the fog as 'Capt. .Johnson, seeing that his ves sel was fatally stricken, shouted an order for the lifeboats. When the crash cane those aboard the Monroe were safely in bed and asleep. Only Capt. 111son and the watch on (leek w. up and about. Hut the shivering of the stricken ves sel and her listing motion, as the water poured through the gash in her side awakened the sleeping passen gers and sent them clambering to ward the deck. Warned by the oill cers, they huiirriedly adjusted lire p re servers andl m1ade -for the tItled deck. liut the time was all too brief. Those rescuedi agreed thtat from the tuime tile Mlonroe was struck until sihe set tledl b~eneath thle waves, not more than a short ten minutes elapsed. Butt Little t9 Wear. -Daggage, clothing, valuales wvere all forgotten in the flight from the staterooms of tile sinking ship. Pa jmans, night gowns and bathrobes and~ liankets were the common aipparei of thlose whlo miade 'the slippery deck be fore the water trappied themt below, Aitd 'most of theim wore that garm whten they left the limpiing Nantucket at the (lock here this afternoon. As the half-clad, exciting thlroing of passengers reached the (lock, they wvere hterdled towvards the lifeboards b~y officers an~d crew. Three of the life boats fronm one side of .the criplied vessel were got away from the side freightedl 'with -frightened itumlanity, mostly wvomneit, shivering in the wet and~ cold in their flimsy night elotiing. fly the time ,these wvere awvay tile Mlonroe was rolling over oin her side aitd it was impossible to launch the ithoatsudde lurcht the linler, nIow fast ill lig, rolled over onl heri sidle, throwing uil hter unlinljured side, suab miergintg cainis andl saloons.

With a chorus of sitrieks the un fortunates left on the sinking vessel turnled, and crawlinlg like rats, mlade thqir way over tile sup~ersitructutre, through port holes, windows and comn plaionways, untIl thtey restedl, just outt of roach of tile waves on thteup Per' side of the htalf-capsized vessel.

Herry order'ed out his lifeboats, ad one by Otno they slipped away into the fog to search for the Monroe. Only Scattering Humanity. They found only the struggling sur vivors afloat in the icy sea, cry ing frantoca(ly iar help. Many of those picked up were utterly ex iausted, and unabel to help them selves. Several had to be hauled over the side of the Nantucket with ropes. Thomas R. Harrington kept his wife afloat by swimming with her hair in his teeth, only to have her die a few minutes after she was hauled aboard the Nantucket. bleut L. P. Curtis, U. S. A., was recited, but died after reach ing the Nantucket. Capt. Johnson of the Monroe and all of his officers got away from the stnk ing vessel and were rescue.l. All of the ollicers and the brew of both the Monroe and the Nantucket were held here tonight to await an investigation of the catastrophe, which will be be gun !mnielliately by -the feileral steamn boat inspection service. E. .J. J. Newby, United States navy, chief petty oflicer, who was on ten (lays' leave, intending to spend it in New York, was among the survivors. Newby gave the Associated Press an in:tores-ting description of ithe heci dent. Just Before Two. "Judging from -my watch, which stopped after I went into the water, the accident happened at 1:48. My watch stopped at 1:58 and I judge that it was not more than ten minutes from the time the boats struck until I was in the water. "I was in bed when the crash came and immediately grabbed my trousers, coat and cap and what little money I had. Almost immediately the vessel listed strongly and in going up on (leck. I had to crawl like a monkey. "The officers of the vessel acted with promptness and efficiency. In an incredibly short time all of the offi cers were at their posts and the mem bers of the crew not caught in their bunks were in their proper places. "There was no panic in the ordi nary sense of the word, as used in de scribing accidents at sea. There was excitement, of course, but the passen gers and crew all conducted them solves, as far as I could see, in a proper manner. Efforts were made to launch boats and rafts, but with very little success. There was hardly time for anything. Floods Engiue Room. "The engine room was evidently flooded almost immediately, as in a few minutes the lights were out and undoubtedly this caused a greater loss of life among the passengers than would otherwise have occurred. Many unfamiliar with the ship evidently lost .their way in their efforts to get on '(leek and were swept downi in the whirlpool. "lany of the passengers and crew who lost tleh' lives were evidently killed in their banks or pinioned there so that they could not escape. The vessel was struck on the starboard side just forward of amidships and s0 (uickly did she go to ieces that, as I was ieavinlg, I noticed tile lpaint on the bulkhecads wasl criumlin lg amid scalinlg off." To tihe Associated Press Capt P. Nelson of the 011ld ominioni steam sh11 ip ililton, wichl conv~eyed tihe 'Nantucket from the scene of tile wreck imuto Nor'folk harbor, said: "We wvere able to (do vei'y little, as the wvork was alli over b~efore wve could get on tile scene. Our wireless picked up S. 0. S. at ab~out 2:30 this morning, wheni we were in a v'ery heav'y fog and runnling (quite slowly.
