Additional from the Scene OF the POtO- |
mac Horror.
WASHINGTON, August I2.-Addition- |
al reports from the scene of the Wawas- |
sett disaster now place the number of |
the lost at seventy-two. The friends of
Daniel Lynch, tailor doing business in |
this city, are certain that he was among
the lost, judging from the description of |
an unknown man published yesterday |
Lynch was engaged to be married to a |
widow lady, who, with her two |
children, were also among the |
lost. An investigation into the |
cause of the disaster will begin to-
morrow, and will assume the form of a |
suit against the owners of the Wawas-
sett by the supervising-inspector of
steamboats, of the treasury department, |
1t appears that on her last eventful trip |
the owners OF the Wawassett failed to |
ask for or receive a special permit to |
carry more passengers than her certifi-
cate Of inspection allowed, namely, fifty. |
If the owners had been granted such a |
request, they would have been compelled |
to have procured an additional outfit |
in the matter of extra license. The own
ers having neglected to procure that |
necessary paper, they have violated the |
law. The penalty is fine of ten dollars /
per passenger, and to refund the passage |
money. 1t is stated that the owners
will also be prosecuted for carrying ex-
cursionists without license.
