Norfolk. Va.. Jan. 30.?The story of how 41 people went d6wn to death In the chill water of the Atlantic when the liner Nantuckt rammed and tank the steamer Monroe early today wits brought to port tonight by II survivorf of the sunken ship's passengers, rescued and brought to shore by the Nantucket. It waa a story of awful and sudden death, sweeping out of the dark and fog and taking? unawares the doomed half hundred with the heaviness of sleep ?till upon them. It told how the stricken Monroe, with her side gored deep by th? knifelike steel prow of the Nantucket, filled rapidly, rolled over on her side and in a few min? utes turned completely over and plunged to the bottom, carrving with her the ill fated passengers and mem? bers of the crew who had failed to get clear of the wreck. Tonight the revised lists prepared by ('apt Johnson, who survived the sunken vessel, showed: Lost: Passengers 19. crew 22, total 41. Saved: Passengers 3?. crew 40, total 91. I nder the thick fog that hid the heavily running sea both big ships were making their way slowly and with difficulty in the early morning. The Monroe, with Capt. 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 proepect. The Nantucket, heavily laden with freight and with but two passengers aboard, waa nosing her way southward, bound from Boston to Norfolk. Urged l thr..ugh the dripping fog. the two vessels slowly were drawn toward each other. The crash came about 1.40 o'clock without wami ag Out of the. gray [ black fog that shut out even the ajesjia from view, the gleam of thej Nantu'kc's scar* blight eoarc?i> touched the dripping side of tu? Monroe beforo the high steel prow ol the southward bound vessel cut int. her side with a rlpplrg and crashing of plates that threw the stricken ship aback. The Nantucket with her bow crush? ed In. backed out of sight in the fog-, as Capt. Johnnon, seeing that his ves? sel was fatally stricken, shouted an order for the lifeboats. When the crash can e those aboard the Monroe were safely In bed and asleep. Only Capt. J)hnsoq and the watch on dee.i were up and about. But the shivering of the stricken ves? sel and her listing motion, as th? water poured through he gash in her aide awakened the sleeping passen? gers and sent them clambering to? ward the deck. Warned by the offi? cers, they hurriedly adjusted life pre? servers and made for the tilled deck. But the time was all ido brief. Those rescued agreed that from the time the Monroe was struck until she set? tled beneath the waves, not more than a short ten minutes elapsed. Baggage, clothing, valuables were all forg otter] in the night from the staterooms of the sinking ship. Pa? jamas, night gowns and bathrobes and blankets were the common apparel of thowe who made the all >pery deck be 'or* the water trappen them below. And most of then wore that garb at the dock here this iftrnoon. An the half-clad, excited throng of passengers reached tho dock, they were herded towards the lifeboats by officers und crew. Thr?e of the life? boats from one side o! the crippled vessel were got away from the sub freighted with frightened humanity, mostly women, shivering In the wet and cold In their thmsy night clothing. Uy the time these were away the Monroe * ?s rolling over on hef sld< and It was Impossible to launch th other boats. With a sudden lurch the liner, now fast filling, rolled over on her side throwing up her uninjured Hide, ??b merging cabin* and salon ne. With a chorus of shrieks the un? fortunate* left on the sinking vessel turn.

With a rumbling sound the big vessel plunged bemati tho waves, leaving her human frclgh sfloat on the U v bosom of tho ocean Meantime the Nnntioket. hersell badly damaged, was standing by, and Capt Herry hud aroused his sleeplm t rew.

They found only the struggling ( survivors afloat ,11 the icy sea, cry? ing frantically tor help. Many of 1 those picked up were utterly ex? hausted and unable to help them? selves. Several had 10 be hauled over the side of the Nantucket with ropes. Thomas It. Harrington kep* his wife afloat by ?wimming with her hair In his teeth, only to have her die a few minutes after she was hauled aboard the Nantucket. Lieut. L. P. Curtis, U. S. A., was rescued, but died after reaching the Nantucket. Capt. Johnson of the Monroe and all of his officers got away from the sinking vessel and were rescued. All of the officers and the crew of both the Monroe and the Nantucket were held here tonight to await an lnves tlga> ion of the catastrophe, which will be begun Immediately by the federal steamboat inspection service. E. J. J. Newby, United States navy, chief petty officer, who was on ten days' leave, intending to spend It in New York, was among the survivors. Newby gave tho Associated Press an interesting description of the accident. "Judging from my watch, which stopped after I went into the water, tho accident happened at 1.48. My watch stopped at 1.68 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 tho vessel listed strongly and in going up on deck, I had to crawl like a monkey. "The office.b of the vessel aeteu with promptness and elficiency. In an incredibly short time all of the officers were at their posts and the members 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? selves, as far as I could see, in a proper manner. Efforts were made to launch hoats and rafts, but with very Nttfce success. There was hardly time for anything. "The engine room was evidently flooded aim ?st immediately, ag lu B j few mtnaJtea tihg lights Jtara 1 ul ai umioijbte'Av this gauged u greater ion. j of life smcug the paggOfigers thai *ould otherwise hav* occurred Many unfamiliar with the ship evi-1 dently lost their way in their effort* to get on deck and were swept down In the whirlpool. "Many of the passengers and crew who lost.their lives were evidently killed In their bunks or pinioned then ho that they could not escape. The I vessel was struck on the starboard 'side Just forward of amldhlps am., so quickly did she go to pieces, that as I was leaving, I noticed the paint on the bulkheads was crumbling and scaling off." To the Associated Press Capt. P Nelson of the old Dominion ^team ship Hamilton, which convoyed th< Nantucket from the scene of th wreck into Norfolk harbor, said: "We were able to do very little, a> the work was all over before we could get on the scene. Our wlreles picked up 8 O 8 at about 2.30 this morning, when we were In a very heavy fog and running quite slowly. We were only 30 miles away, but, on account of the fog, were forced to proceed verly slowly so that it was 4 o'clock when we camo within slg nallng distance of tho Nantucket. "At that tlmo the Nantucket show ed a badly broken noso and the ere-a were engaged in putting her in us ^ood shape as possiblo. Wo stood alongside to render whatever aid was aecessary, with lifeboats and ladders In readiness and in the meantime on the lookout for anything that could he picked up. a "We found only one llfeuoat and that was empty. Tho Monroe had gone down like a rook within ten minutes after she was struck at. nothing was to be found." It was as II they had come from tho dead when eight of the Monroes ?passengers whom wireb-ss reports ' had put In the list of the lost walken j or were borne from the steamer Nan tucket whe*n the latter landed th , rescued at Norfolk this afternoon. Those were < ba rge M Marlow Ol 'New York, Mrs ihn M. Ray of San ? York. K. P. Lyong of New York, lab ly of lltchmond. Va.. and Savannah |Oa.; U. 11. Vernon of N-w York, W C.

I know not what to do." Mrs. Thomas It. Harrington of , Bridgeport, Conn., and Lieut. Le-, , Grand B. Curtis, U. S. A., died on the \ steamer Nantucket after their rescue. ! L'.uet. Curtis was taken from the j water unconscious and badly injured. There were notable deeds of hero? ism by Assistant Engineer Oscar Per I kins and First Wireless Operator Fer j dinand J. Kuehn. Perkins, when the inrush of water put out the main I dynamo and left the Monroe in com? plete darkness, rushed below and p' . I to work an emergency dyru. ' Is among the rescued. Wireless Operator Kuehn gave the first SOS call and after adjusting a life preserver, which would doubtless have saved his own life, removed this from his body and put it on a girl. Kuehn was lost. C. W. Poole, en route from Gray with his wife and child, had his wifo and child washed from his arms. Ed Gorman of New York told of harrowing scenes of women scream? ing for help in the cabin of the Mon? roe. Walking upon the side of the careened sinking ship, Gorman met a girl whom he begged to Jump with him into the sea. The girl refused and perished. Gorman was at once picked up by a passing liefboat. J. Oateley, second officer of the Monroe, gave his life preserver up to a lady who had none, and after being wanned into the water saved j himself by grabbing a floating ladder. C. H. Davis told how a frenziod ne? gro standing upon the sinking Mon? roe, asked another negro for a pocket knife with which he proceeded to cut his own throat from ear to ear and then fell into th?? sea. Though some of the negroes lost their heads, In the end there has been notable commends.tion of their con? duct generally and there are none who have anything but praise for the general demeanor of the negroes aboard the Monroe In the great ex? citement following the collision. Ralph Falannagan, 82 Hull street, Brooklyn, went to the hospital tem? porarily. He Is not seriously hurt One of the most thrilling stories told by the survivors was that by Miss HaJly M"n'whom * rrazed negro [caught by the hair in a lifeboat She was one of the nine members of the Vac >.r:.+ I u. attlcal comjun; whd H'Jr I vived. Miss McCombs owes hat Hf- < I to the braver) ui Charles Butta . native of Hertford, X. C, and a mem? ber of the Monroe's crew who leaped overboard from the foundering ship and kept her afloat in the icy water until they reached one of the Nan tucket's lifeboats. Miss Hilda Haviland, leading lady of her company, with whom Miss Mc Combs was rooming, appears seriously affected by the experience. James O'Connell of Washington es? caped injury. He was in the water for some time but is only slightly in llapoaed from his experience. A. G. Brown of Brooklyn was among those who were forced to walk along on the side of the Monroe as she careened Just before sinking. Anally all were washed into the sea. Tho Monroe went down easily, how? ever, and there was but little suction. Capt. E. E. Johnson, who com? manded the Monroe, came from the Nantucket much depressed. He said he felt in no condition to talk about tho disaster at this time and would have to defer any statement that he makes until he has time to take an official report to the officers of his company. "I have been up for two days and a night," said Capt. Johnson, "and you car. well understand how I hardly feel like talking about this matter right now. I will do so later but for tho present can have nothing to say' for publication." The Merchants and Minors' steam Off Xantucket, after remaining for some time on the sceno of tho acci? dent, was Joined by the Old Dominion steamer Hamilton bound from New York to Norfolk and by the Hamilton was convoyed to Norfolk. The Nan? tucket had a great hole In her bow and will have to undergo extensive repairs. The Nantucket was hound from Boston to Norfolk and Balti i mors. I Thousands of people crowded tho ' river front to watch the Nantticket's 1 arrival at Norfolk this afternoon, nearly 12 hours alter the disaster. The Nuntucket's decks were crowded j with survivors. Doctors had been sent on tugs to meet her and there I were also abfan d United State's local steamboat Inapectora as well as law? yers representing both steamahlp COUIpanlea. These had gone on tugs and boarded the Nantucket as she came into Hampton Roads. The cm-oner of Norfolk will go into an Inquiry lustring on the death of Mrs. Harrington and Lieut. Curtis. I Assistant General Manager E. B Palen of tho < >ui Dominion Steam ihlp company tonight gave the Aaso* I elated Press tht following statement; "The Monroe left Norfolk at 7 III land ran Into n light fog when outaid< I .*" " I of tho i'.'iijcd, and was proceeding. cautiously on hoi route to New York,] blowing a fog whistle every minute j by an automatic time clock. 4 [ "When ahout hall way between. Cape Charles lightship and the Winter Quarter lightship, the lookout heard the tog whistle of the Nantucket off! her starboard bow. She stopped and blew two whistles, which were re-| sponded to by the Nantucket. She again blew two whistles, which were not responded to, and immediately thereafter the crash came. "The Nantucket was not visible ex-! cept immediately before the collision,. the fog being heavy near the water,1 but light above that. "The Monroo was struck on the, starboard side, about one-third the j distance from her bow, the Nantuck- j et penertated tho Monroe something like one-third of her width, making tho sinking of the Monroe Inevit? able. "Capt. Johnson, who had been in the pilot house for several hours, immediately gave notice to tho stew? ard to awaken all the passengers, though the passengers w^re at that time rushing out of their staicooms. They were told to come at once to. the boat deck. The dynamo, which was then running, gave out in a few minutes and the vessel was encom? passed in darkness until Third En-! ginecr Oscar Perkins rushed below j and started the second dynamo, which ien for two or three minutes. The Monroe immediately listed to the starboard, and in the course of throo or four minutes the starboard side of the Monroe was awash and the pert side was high in the air."

New York, Jan. 30.?The presence of mind of crew and passengers alike was responsible for the saving of so many lives from the Old Dominion liner Monroe, which sarfk off Hog Island early today, according to a statement Issued here tonight by H. B. Walker, president and general manager of the Old Dominion steam? ship line, through James Leyland, su? perintendent of the main line divis? ion. In his statement Mr. Walker says Capt. E. E. Johnson, master of the Monroe, launched lifeboat No. 7 with the aid of eight volunteers and then picked up 27 persons who had Jumped into the water Just before the liner went under, making the total saved by this boat 75. Equally good work was done by First Officer Guy Morsley, who, after launching boat No. 3 with ten passongers, res? cued 24 persons who had Jumped from the deck of the steamer. Lifeooat No. 1 was smashed as she landed in the water and No 2 capsized. Fourteen persons were saved by two boats from the Nantucket. One of the life rafts on tho Monroe proved tho means of saving the lives of six, while another saved four persons. J. E. Qateley, second officer, went below immediately after the collision to ascertain the extent of the dam ! ag* done He found some of tho pas? sengers on the promenade deck. He tried to get them on tho boat deck, but did not succeed. When tho Mon-i roe went down he floated off a ladder, i and later was, picked up. I The law of the sea, that women: 'and children must be saved first, cost the chief wireless operator of the| Monroe his life. He was standing by ! boat No. '.i when ho saw a woman without a life belt and promptly gave \ her his. Mr. Walker's statement ? counts him among the dead. The WO , man was saved. One of the passen gers, a mining engineer, followed the example of the chief wireless oper i ator. What hecamo of him has not I been learned. j Nineteen passengers of tho Monroe 1 so far have not been accounted for, the statement says. To the list ot I those saved have been added, the statement says, the names of Mrs. J. M. Kay. B. 1'. Lyons and H. 15. Vet - non. Duo to the fact that they were j unconscious from shock when picked up, tho names ol these passengers ' could not be learned earlier. The members of the crow known to have been drowned are. Third assist? ant sngtneer, chief wireless operator, a quartermaster, two deck watchmen I and tWO bow lookouts. I When the presence of another ves I sei was suspected by the othe rs ol the Monroe, tho statement added, the' vessel stopped immediately and the whistle was blown once. The signal was answered by the Nantucket with two Whittles. Jn reply to this the' Monroe whistled twice, being an-1 swered in the same manner by the Nantucket. The Monroe then kept her whistle going, but received no; further signals, it is declared. A ? i few seconds later the vessel was ram? med by the Nantucket abaft No. 1 port on the starboard side. A dramatic incident in connection with the sinking of the Monroe oc CUrred late today at the office here, of Capt. James Leyland, superintend? ent of the Old Dominion Steamship j line. Mrs. J. E. Gateley, wife of the ' second officer of the Monroe, 23,1 accompanied by Gateley's sister, stepped up to Capt. Leyland's desk; with blanched face, unable to utter a word. She turned appealing eyes to her companion, who was on the verge of breaking down, but found no comfort. "Don't tell me he's gone," she finally managed to gasp. "It is more thun we can stand. We have been near your office for several hours, -but have been afraid to inquire what I became of him." Capt. Leyland could do no more than say that he hoped that her hus-i band had been saved by some passing steamer. Sadly the two women .urn ed away. They had hardly boa reed a trolly car, however, when word was received In the office that the name of Gateley had been placed among the saved. Two clerks were immediately sent after the women to tell the good raws. SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION. Programme Arranged for Three Day Session at Anders-on on February 11-13.

Wellington, Feb. l.?Two wintry storms are expected to cross the coun? try from the west this week. "The first part of the week,' said the weather bureau's bulletin tonight, "will be fair over the Eastern, Central and Southern portions of the coun? try, with moderate temperatures as a rule, although there will be light frosts Monday morning in Northern Florida. A disturbance now over Montana will extend eastward and southeastward, preceded and accom? panied by increasing cloudiness and rising temperatures. During Tuesday night and Wednesday, the rain* and snows will extend to the Middle At? lantic States. "Rising pressure and failing tem? peratures will follow the Northwes? tern disturbance and it is probable that another brief period of low tem? peratures will set in, reaching the Cen? tral portion of the country about the middle of the week, and the Rast a dt.y or so later. "A second disturbance will appear on the North Pacific coast Tuesday or Wednesday. It Will move eastward and southeastward with resulting* rains and snows over the Oentral and Eastern portions of the country dur? ing the second half of the week, reaching the Atlantic States by the end of the week.

Representative Byrnes Challenge* Op? ponents to Make Better Showing. Washington, Jan. 31.?Congressman Byrnes today broke a lance or two and unhorsed several advocates end exponents of the idea that the South is the only part of the country where illiteracy prevails and that altogether the Southern States are rapidly go? ing backward in an educational way. The immigration bill was before the house and Representatives Madden of Illinois, Keating of Massachusetts and 'Goidfogle of New York thought they would have a little sport With the young South Carolina congressman, ard, at the same time; proxe hit-, sec 11 on to be densely igntrant, air. Madden opened up by ask luff what had been the result of the Wit tekind snteri inu why he South is trying to induce immigrants to go there after the failure of that pro? ject. Mr. Goidfogle talked about low wages in the South in comparison j with other States, and Mr. Keating and others discussed the negro Ques i tion. When Mr. Byrnes took the floor he I laid them out one by one. He com? pared the Lawrence (Mass.) mill j strikes with peaceful conditions in I couth Carolina, told some of those {who were most talkative regarding present conditions in the Southern states that the people were happy, prosperous and well contented, and said that the reason why there are I any illiterates among the whites there I now is that many of them are the off? spring of poor, ignorant men who went to that section during or imme? diately after the war and were too poor or laey to be educated them sel\es. Hence their children have fol? lowed along the same lines. South Carolina is educating her white citizens, Mr. Byrnes said, and challenges comparison with any other section of the country in progress, en? terprise and prosperity. Her people are going ahead, he further claimed, have nothing to hide or to be ashamed of. and are looking to the future with hope and optimism. Although several members tried to down Mr. Byrnes and to cast aspersion on the Southern States, he held them in check and they made little If any? thing out of their attempts. - SAWYER FOR GOVERNOR.
