The "Waesland" Disaster. A collision took place between the Hlouston liner Harmonides and American liner Waesland in a dense fog off the Anglesey, coast about midnight on Wednesday, March 5. Forty minutes alter the crash, The "Waesland" sank. So excellent was the spirit displayed on board both vessels, and the order preserved, that all the 114 passengers on the Waesland were saved except two, as were all the crew, who numbered an additional eighty-nine. While No. I life-boat, in which had been placed twelve passengers, was being lowered, the stern slipped from the davits and left the boat hanging in a perpendicular position. All on board were thrown into the sea with the exception of one man, named Dangerfield, whose head got fatally crushed against the side of the boat. The immersed persons were all rescued from the waves except one little girl, named Emmett. The other boats, ten in number, safely transferred their passengers from the Waesland to the Harmonides which was invisiible in the fog, but which industriously made her whereabouts known by whistles and signals. The Waesland was formerly the Cunard steamer Russia. She was built in 1867 for the service of that line, and was taken over in 1883.
