NEW ZEALANDERS ON THE BOAT.

The list is not known, but the paesengers included Laurence Irving, the ■-actor, and a number of New Zealanders.

Nothing is known of the fate of the "Storstad.

Immediately on receipt of the S.O.S. signals, the Canadian. Government steamers Eureka, and Lady Evelyn, from Father Point, hurried *o the rescue.

The early news was barely more than ■ the S.O.S. call, and naming the ship and stating she was in fear of immediate sinking.

The absence of a further call is explained by the fact that the vessel sank almost at once.
