GRIMSBYr England July 4.—A lone
pile of granite rising sheer out of the
Atlantic 290 'miles from the Scottish
mainland. Is now a monument to al
most seven hundred dead. Bodies wash
against the rocks or. He on the ocean
bed at lta base. Near by. completely
hidden In the water, Is the Scandina-
vlan-Amerlcan liner Norge, which was
carrying 800 Danes, Norwegians.
Swedes and Finns to Join relatives or
friends in. America. Of these only
about 130 were saved.
No tragedy of the sea has had giore
appalling consequences and none has
occurred in so short & time. The pas
sengers were suddenly aroused from
their sleep, terrified by the contact of
the bows of the ship with the solid
granite, followed by a grinding, rasp
ing sound as if the hull was being
shoved over huge rocks. Then silence
as the clanging bells brought the on
glnes to a stop. Those of the passen
gers who were standing at the time the
steamer struck the rock were thrown
against the bulkheads or on the decks,
and had not recovered their feet when
a stentorJhn Voice gave the terrifying
order:
’’All hands on deck! Hurry or you
may sink!"
Immediately there was a rush for the
narrow companion ways and men, wo
men and children pushed And struggled
and made every other effort to reach
the deck, where the boats swung from
the davits. Many - persona, retaining
their presence of mind, seized life pre
servers. only to find in some instances
that the strings were rotten and they
could not he quickly put around their
bodies. Those who reached the deck
saw the noso of the Norge pinned di
rectly against the rock. It remained
there only a few minutes, for Capt.
Gundell, commanding who had Imme
diately gone to the bridge, gave the or
der to the engine-room to reverse the
engines. Some men of the engineer
force hnd relatives among the passen
gers, and after seeing them safely to
the boats hnd heroically returned to
their stations below. Slowly the ship
backed off, and ns she gained headway |
was found that water was pouring i
Into her hold. This announcement,
called out in Scandinavian and presag
ing death, added to the supreme fright
and agony. The passengers who were
plied In the boats were the fortunate
ones who were to escape, while the
unfortunates, who saw death near,
clustered In the vicinity, seething,
struggling masses, some on their knees,
praying, surrounded by children, otherc
lippitrating aid from nny one and
shrieking for permission to enter tho
boats, elbowing, lighting their way to
the plnc-es from which the boats wero
being lowered.
The sound of grinding censed and
the bow of the Norge yawned ns the
steamer returned to the deep water.
Tho sen rushed hungrily into the huge
rents made by the rocks In tho Iron
sink by the bows. Without waiting for
orders, without paying attention to
their proper manning, the occupants
began to lower the boots. The stnr-
bonrd lifeboat began slowly to fall,
when to the horror of those on board
the stern tackle fulled, while the bow
tackle ran free. Soon the boat was
almost perpendicular. Those v

seats until a great wove came towering
along and struck the boat, smashing it
against the side of the ship. The occu
pants of the boat who were not killed
by the impact, were thrown into the
water. The crew and passengers on
deck bed no time to spare to assist the
few who had a chiuice to escape but
lost it. Undeterred by the experience
of tho first boat, u second, loaded prin
cipally with women and children, was
lowered. This time the tackle ran
smoothly, but the hopes of escape of
the passengers on board were blasted,
waves picked up the small craft as
the moment It touched tho water
If It had been n feather and dashed It
sgainst the side of the ship despite the
frantic efforls of the passengers to
send It off. The crash was heard on
deck. Then tho sea swallowed more
victims and pieces of wreckage slowly
drifted towards the rock.

Tho upper deck of the Norge at the
tir.ie of the disaster to the second boat
only a few feet from the water
and It was apparent to everyone that
only a few minutes more and she
would plunge beneath the water. In
the final crisis those who were able to
remember clearly what happened, say
that the shrieks and sobs died away
and tho quiet was only broken by the
curses of some men whose fear found
vent in blasphemy.
Suddenly one man threw himself
overboard and another followed his
example. Still another Jumped Into
the water, and soon round the ship
hundreds of persons were struggling
In the sea, having preferred death In
the open to gelng submerged with the
ship. Others determined to stand by
the ship, hoping against hope that
she would rebut In afloat.
Three boats. It Is known, success
fully reached the sea. The passengers
frantically pulled away from the
doomed ship, passing by poor wretches
who were still afloat and who vainly
begged to be taken on board, while
from the ship came long, despairing
cries. The women In tho boat which
reached Grimsby hid their eyes, but
the men who were sitting facing the
Norge say they saw the captain still
on the bridge and the passengers on
deck In attitudes of resignation. While
they looked the Norge plunged forward,
her stern shot up In the air and dis
appeared. The swimmers In the vicin
ity of the ship were drawn Into the
vortex, around which they swirled like
chips In the mnelstrom. But twelv
minutes elapsed from the time the ship
struck until she sank. A fine Scotch
mist, which was falling at the time,
shut out the other survivors from th
view of those who were brought t>
Grimsby. The latter, so soon ns their
boiit was clear of the scene of
wreck, devoted themselves to thoughts
of their own safety. A Jacket whs tied
to an oar. which was In turn fastened
In the bow of the boat, and a sailor, a
Dane, took charge of the boat. Men
and women were put to work keeping
the boat afloat, as a hole had been
stove in her bow when tt was lowered
from the ship. An examination of th*
water cask showed that It did not con
tain a drop of water. There were som*
biscuits, however, and these were

Georgia Glnnera' Association at the
city hall In Macon yeaterday morning,
there were not enough members pres
ent to conttltute a quorum, and the
work of the day was done In an Infor
mal manner.
■Chairman W. P. Hammock, of Cole
man. Ga., and Secretary Pro Tem T.
B. Blake, of Atlanta, with eight or ten
other glnnera and cotton men, were
present st both morning and evening
sessions. These members composed
the executive committee of the organ
ization and the work which was done
was principally that which could be
transacted by this committee. Other
members of this committee present
were Messrs. Oliver, of Hhelltnsn;
Baldwin, of Dawson; Jossey. of For
syth; Robinson, of Atlanta, and Man
ning. of Lovett Secretary Hanlon,
who Is an extensive cotton dealer and
operator of compresses, was not pres
ent on account of urgent business.
At the meeting of yeaterday the as
sedation meeting was postponed until
Tuesday, July 2$. Those present were
Inclined to think that the holiday pre
vented the attendance of. other mem
bers and they accordingly arranged for
the later meeting. The barbecues and
picnics at the homes of the several
members were the causes which held
the absent ones away from the regular
meeting. It was thought, however
from the letters received by the pres!
dent and secretary that enough mem
bers would be present to go forward
with the business of th** association,
and It wax not postponed until It ap
peared that such action would be
wise.
A resolution wax passed calling a

Among the most vital questions
which are before the association to be

Interesting atatementa In regard to the
government experimental chiton farm,
which |s In charee of himself and Mr.
W. A. Orton. Th*«e men have In their
charge a six-acre patch of cotton con
taining seventy different varieties of
upland growth. They are making an
effort to raise a cotton plant which will
withstand the Mnck root affecting the
cotton of Calhoun. Clay, Randolph and
contiguous counties
In the experiments the government
uses immune seed. Tho trouble Is an
entrain-** Into the water du**tx of the
plant by the Insect or fungus. The
cotton on th** experimental grounds Is
affected and Is already wilting to some
extent, but not so much ax lx the cus
tom on the farmx of the neighborhood.
The disease of the cotton has In
creased In recent years, go that the
ordinary farmer loses from one to
four bales to the plow, according to
Mr. Hammock’s statement, and the
situation has grown mere alarming
