Norfolk, Va., Jan. 31. -- Forty-one persons went down to death when the Merchants and Miners' liner Nantucket sank the Old Dominion liner Monroe in the icy waters of the Atlantic at 2 o'clock Friday morning. Wireless liss forwarded by Captain JOHNSON of the Monroe, returning with the survivors on the Nantucket, show:
LOST -- Passengers, 19; crew 22; total, 41.
SAVED -- Passengers, 39; crew 60; total, 99.

Captain JOHNSON of the sunken Monroe and all of his officers but one were among the saved. The lost officer was Second Engineer DATALEY.

Eighty-five survivors rescued from the sea and huddled on the Nantucket, which was limping along with a crumpled bow toward Norfolk, are the only ones who know all the story of how the two big ships, picking their way through a blanket of fog -- one bound north, the other south -- met with a crash near the Winter Quartershoal lightship. "S.O.S." calls reaching out to the coast stations started every available agency of rescue into action, but not soon enough.
