The Wreck of the Metropolis,
HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY SOMEWHERE FOR THE
TERRIBLE ASTFR


TERRIBLE DISASTER.
The report to the general superintendent of
the life saving service shows that the delay in
coming to the rescue of the periShing crew of
the Metropolis was caused by the great dis
tance that the nearest stations were apart
Chirteen and a-half miles) and the disaster
happening about midway between them. 1t
also occurred about the lime that the patrols
had come into their stations after nights eX-
posure to the terrible storm. and were break
fasting prior to going out again. After the in
lelllgence OF the disaster reached them thev

furnished by those On board prove that the
steamer was leaking seriously and that her
sternpost was completely rotten. 1t was the
knowledge that if she continued at sea that she
would ceI tainly 60 down with all hands, that
prompted the captain to attempt to beach her
and thus save the lives OF those on board.
