The Bucharest correspondent of the “Daily Mail” says a motor-boat containing 22 children, aged from seven to nine, who were on an excursion accompanied by their headmaster, struck an ice floe in the Iron Gates, where the Danube .races between towering cliffs.
Desperate fathers and mothers leaped into the icy waters in an attempt to save the children, necessitating boats putting off to rescue them. All the parents were rescued but the moltorboatman alone survived of the excursionists.
