"UNSPEAKABLE CONFUSION."

DOCTOR'S FINE WORK

(Received June 2nd, 9.50 p.m.) MONTREAL, June 2. Staff-Captain Mclntyrej of tho Salvation Army, declared that thero was unspeakable confusion aboard tho Empress of Ireland. As tho vessel lurched and listed people climbod to tho higher decks. When the ship sank ho was carried down yards by . tho swirling cataract. Keeping his head, after somo fearful suffocating moments, ho came to tho surface, and grasped an overturned boat.

Bandsman Green, Salvationist,, who lost his father, mother, and sister, said that tho efforts to reach the dock were like climbing a wall. There was little panic, excepting among the foreigners. Ho saw ono man push into a boat "bcforo a woman, and another man knocked him down. Salvationists sang "God be with you till wo meet again," until tho foundering caused an abrupt termination of the hymn.

Dr. Grant's efforts aro unanimously praised. Ho .elir-ved both physical and mental sufferings, and brought order out of chaos. Whon taken aboard tho Storstad ho directed tho laying-out of the bodies and arranged for a supply of dry clothing for the women.
