Capt. Garter states that short time before the
explosion he had gone to his room to take a nap

with the debris on the lower deck As soon as
he could extricate himself he glanced around
and saw that the forward part of the cabin had
been blown away aft to the boilers and that
some of the timbers had taken fire. His first
thought was to extinguish the flames which
with the aid of a few others and a heavy rain
which was falling at the time, he soon succeed
ed in doing. Meantime one of the crew who
had been but slightly injured, seeing that the
wreck had drifted near shore, jumped out with
a head line and made her fast, when it was
found that the boat had been but little injured,
except as already stated Soon as the fire was
extnguished, everything possible was done to
relieve the sufferers. 1t is stated that fourteen
are missing and killed and eleven injured
