Colt ran c Has received 4 letter from her daughter, HUsa Elka wlu vuiirane, wno was one of the ywai mai was run iiho uy me steamer Fompano at Eliz- aoem tuy a lew days ago. Miss Col trane gives the following tbrillin particulars of the accident: "It seems more than terrible to think 6f the danger, we wee in and then for all to be saved except two. We had only been out about fifteen minutes, and when we saw this large boat, coming towards us at first we did not realize how close it was. When Mr. Cook did realize how very near we-were he lost his head and turned the wheel the wrong way.. Our boat hit the large boat .' with full force, knocking every seam in the boat apart, and a. hole about, two feet square. Mr. Overman .and Mr. Tom linson jumped for the big boat, and as luck would have it, they, made it. They threw over a large boat and life preservers and ropes. There were only two men on the large boat, ine captain ana the inan at the wheel. In half a minute our boat sank from under, us. The man I was with grabb ed a life preserver for me but I didn't have time fo buckle it on. He held me above water until one, of the other boys, who could swim, came after us. We floated so far a way,, from"' the big boat - (nearly half a . mile) that it took such a long time to get me in. The water was forty feet deep. Don't anyone except those of us who were there realize how very horrible it was. We were in the water .nearly thirty minutes. It took such a long time for the large boat to turn and come towards us, that help from town, hearing our cries for help, got: to us before the large boat could: assist us. I have never seen such a wonderful, crowd of men in all my life. They did font consider themselves for a moment. Everything was done for our comfort. When all our party was rescued we realized that Mr. and Mrs. Cook were gone, but thought, proba bly, a small-boat from town- had picked them up. We were all I horror stricken and had hopes until 1 0 'clock that night, when the strongest search ! lights in the State 1 had been used and they were not to be found. They dragged the river nearly all might and. found their bodies early the next morning Mrs Cook must have chok- ed Mr. Cook to death, as he could swim. When she felt the boat sink ing she called for him and they went down together. When . found their arms wrere up like they had been hold ing each other around the neck."
