It appears that about eleven c'clock last night when mast of the passengers had gone to their bunks a tremendous. Explosion oc curred in No. two hold. The vessel immediately, began to take in water, and ten minutes after the explosion the passengers were ordered to take "7. to the boats. "Flares were at once sent up, but it does not appear that they at first received attention. The boats at ance scattered in the event of the vessel going down and at the time of writing it is reported that all the boats have come to land except ones. The death roll is stated to be three native, members of the crew, one being the Captain's "boy." Later ther Harbour tug "Goliath" and, the Whariage Co tugs "Lady Mackay and "Lady Inchcape" were sent to the- scene of the disaster to render as- sistance and the boats were collected from a wide radius and the pas sengers eventually landed at one of

one's surprise a number of ladies were among the party, one with two young children. One young girl of about fourteen or fifteen years of age was sobbing silently, obviously stil suffering from the strain of the night's awful adventure. The lascar crew appeared more happy. Most of them were fully dressed, and nearly all were carrying blue coloured life- belts. Many of the European officers were bare-footed and hatless. One- of the passengers, worn out, sleepy. but none the less full of beans stated. that the explosion occurred in, No. 2 hold when the vessel was about fifteen miles from Colombe Harbour.. Flames spat through the ventilators, and many of the passengers were thrown from their bunks by the force of the explosion. The order was. given to take to the boats, and fares. were sent up. The scene, despite the horror of the occasion was a thrilling one, and the best of discipline pre- vailed. The boat he was getting into was caught on the top of a wave and thrown high up. He managed to catch held of some of the shrouds and was then later able to get info another boat.

at 10.40 last night and the passengers, took to the boats which were prompt... ly lowered. There was no pacic or confusion among any of the passen- gers and splendid order, prevailed. There was plenty of time and the arrangements for disembarking were satisfactorily carried out. The ship was gradually going lower and lower and the boats left her at 11.30 p.m. for Coiambo. The passengers had a trying time all night in the open sea. At 4.30 a.m. to-day the tug despatch ed from Colombo was alongside the boats. The boats were not all together and the tug. picked up "only the passengers in one group," while, those in another were taken on by another steamer and brought into port. To the best of Sir Charles belief no lives were lost, but nothing on board was saved. Clothes, luggage" " money and all valuables were lost Most of the passengers had only the clothes they were wearing at the time and these were their sleeping attire, They landed in Colombo from the tug at noon and took up quarters at the G.O.H. and Galle Face Hotels.
