The Collision With the Oceanis

HoW THE KINCOfiA WIbKT, DOWN.

! The following Interesting account of »h* collision on August Bth, in which tht Oceanic sank the eross-Cbsnnel atflftmet Ktncora, with the result that eeven of the latter's crew were drowned, was written by one of the passengers between the fcim* of the collision and the arrival of the v< Bsel at Qaeenstown :—• I wan reading In my bank last night, when the fog bom began to blow* and at about 12.301 felt ft shook mif a greab wave had struck oat vessel, and we had gone through it. Something fel! on the deck (I am three decks down), and after a time I became cf ns'cious of an excitement op above. Up I went, Then I caw oar vessel had struck another steamer about one third from lti stern, and the two were lying apparently fixed, with the steamer's bowa pointing at an angle with oar vessel towards out stern. It was a very misty night, and above the junction of the two ship* lliett wts »light which radiated throagb tfc* mist without giving much Ulumtnatlo** By degrees I became aware that the steamer was lying with its nose up andite stem above the water The bowi rote higher and higher, the prate ware it an increasingly extraordinary angle with the deck of our steamer. The masthead Ught of the steamer came down and down, when a contrary motion seised the steamer, Msd she slipped down, stern foremost, with appalling speed) and when half immtwed, and apparently upright, fell over on he? deck and disappeared withoat a sound. It was as if she covered her face and fell forward on the death that threatened hei —bat the speed with which she went down and her last motion before di«*p» pearing were very striking. The contrait between our lighted decks (for before the end every light had been turned on), and her hall, dark and black except: where her masthead light flickered and There aome light came out of the engine room, made* great picture. Our boats were oat »t onqe but no one came up after the steamer went down. I was on deck at l.iO, and by 1.17 the tragedy was finished.'

Here's What's Wanted.

MANY MORE MOTHERS would have healbhlar, banniar, and hxppy ohildren if they fed them'regularly on AULSEBROOK'S MILK ARROWROOB BISCUtTS. Thousands of ohildren in New Zealand have been reared on them with the happiest results. How to give the Biscuits— For very young Ohildren, rub the Biscuits very lightly on a cleaa nutmeg grater, or crush very floe and sift through a eia?e ; mix carefully with boiling water, stirring well, and give through feeding bottle or by spoon; A3 there ia milk ia them it is nob advisable to adi it. Ia thg oase of young and del-oate ohildren, it ia better to givo only abmt half a ohouib every two hours than a larger quantity less offeen.
