PAGE TWELVE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1930 ag es i NO SURVIVORS OF THIS WRECK 205 Lives Were Lost When Hungarian Was Cast Away Off Cape Sable Island Halifax, N.S., was the 70th anniversary of Cape Sable Island, Feb. 20.--Today of the wreck of the mew Allan Line mail steamer Hungarian, on the ledges Shelburnz2 the latter, including a numbet of mail bags, being salv.ged. Three trunks were identified as having belonged to Margaret Robertson, Montreal, Robert Martin, Toronto, and W. R, Crocker, Conn. In the hope of rescuing any persons wlio might have escaped in small boats, the Government or- 'dered the steamer Daring to sau for the vicinity as soon as possible, It was a forlo'n hope, and of the Hungarian's complement, only the three bodie wer ever found. One account of the tragedy gave the value of the ship's cargo as one million dollars, insured with Lloyds for $750,000. The steamer itself was said to be valued at $250,000 and insurcd for $200,- 000. The reagon why the wreck oc curred at Cape Sable Jsland has would have made it impossiblg tot anyone on the Hungarian to see a light at a greater distancé than the length of the ship. Also. he point ed out, no steam fog alarm was there, as at present. The Hungar fan, he 'thought, was probab'y driven from her course by the treacherous currents around Cape Sable, Additional details of the wreck may be found in the following ex- tracts from the Morning Chronicle of February, 1860: "Cape Sable. Feb, 20.--Steamer lights scen this morning. at three o'clock on Cape Ledge, At daylight spars and pipe standing, At 10 a m, gone by the board--then ship settling fast. Heavy seen breakiug mast high over the ship. Com- munication impossible. All lost un- before \ which is not likely. At low water part of, ship still visible."

Nothing else of . intelligence ob- tainable at present." "Cape Sable, Feb. 22.--8ix mail bags saved from Hungarian, Havé then in charge, nil in dam- aged state. Not a soul saved."

According to the February, 1864 editiond of the Moreing Chronicle of Halifax, the Thotias Nickerson saw the light of the Hungarian at 5am Monday, had struck at what was known as the Horse dlace, two miles off Cape Sable. T, the light moved a short distance At daylight the steamer was seen to be ashore with only one mast standing. Nick- erson thought he saw men mgovipg aboard the ship when it was bat- tered to pieces shortly after day- light, At (hat time c¢nly the single spar remained in its place, and this feel at 10 a.m.' With seas breaking mast high over the ship, jt was not long before she crum- bled completely Communication wiht shore was impossible, and owing to the heavy surf and nature of the shore, thoan aboard the Hungarian had not a chance their lives.
