A SAD STORY.

A Woman Sees Her Three Chill dren
Drown.
NEW YORK. June Zone of the saddest
events connected with the horrible calamity
is the case of Mrs. A. P. Dix of Brooklyn,
wife of Mr.. A. P. Dix, "a broker, of the firm of
Dix & Phyfe, in the Drexel building. Mrs.
Dix was on the Narragansett with her three
children and nurse. All are lost but Mrs Dix
herself. Mrs Dix occupied stateroom in the
awakened by the collision and saw all the
commotion, She led her little girl, Marion, Ii
years old, and her little boy, Carruth, 9 years
old, to the end of the boat, and was followed
by her nurse Mary, who carried Mrs. Dix's
baby, Emily, months old. They were all
helped into the lifeboat at the stern of the
ship, where tLere were other ladies and some
men. The men tried to lower the boat, but
the ship was sinking and water poured in and
capsized the lifeboat When the lifeboat
came right side up again some of the women
were carried away, and the men abandoned
the boat. Mrs. Dix and her nurse, baby, little
boy and girl, chung to the boat, but the boat
was turned over in the same way three times,
and Mrs. Dix saw her baby her nurse and her
little boy and girl washed away. She and an
other lady were the only ones left in the boat.
After more than an hour they were picked up
by an officer and men in a boat from the City
of New York and taken on board that boat.
Mrs. Dix was found to-day in stateroom of
the City OF New York. She wore diamond
earrings, and the diamond rings on her hands
were imbedded in the swollen flesh The
skin had been torn off her fingers, hands and
wrists, by the boats sides and ropes, to which
she had chung for her life. AS soon as the
City of New York arrived, word was sent to
Mr.. Dix in Wall street, and he rushed to the
pier and found his wife. The meeting of the
father and mother, who had lost their entire
family, brought tears to the eyes<f every one
in the saloon. The other survivors, who had
not met with so great losses, forgot their own
unfortunate man and wife whose children
were drowned. 1t will take Mrs. Dix long
time to recover from the sickness which has
been produced by the severe exposure in the
water, the bruises from the boat and the shock
rage with Mr.. Dix and lady friend to her
home in Brooklyn, at noon.

IN GENERAL.
Miscellaneous Notes of the Disaster.

Miscellaneous Notes of the Disaster.
Capt. Nye was not on duty Friday night and
the Narragansett was in charge of first officer
Young.
Mr. Carpenter, brother-in-law of Mrs. Still
son, the Atlanta lady who lost her two child
rem, states he had to put life preserver on
Mrs Stisen by force. He then tried to lower
her down to the water, but she persisted in
clinging to the boat and endeavoring to get
back on board She was finally pushed into
the water.
A little boy was picked up who had been
travelling in company with his father, mother
and elder sister and had been separated from
them during the confusion. His father was
saved by the City of New York, and his moth
er and sister by the Stonington.
The lady who died after being taken into
tina life boat was entirely nude.
The people of Stonington supplied the un-
fortunate with clothing
Wreckers say the prospects of floating the
Narragansett are good.
No satisfactory explanation of the cause of
the disaster has been made. The officers claim
that signals were made and answered accord
ing to regulations.
The Narragansett sank and burned so rapid
ly that it would have been folly to have I'M
dertaken to beach her.
The Narragansett was originally built for
freight boat to run between New York and
Philadelphia, and purchased by the Stoning-
ton line and made over into passenger boat.
She cost nearly $500, 900.
Samuel FL. Waldron, clerk of the Nara
gansett, was taken on the City of New York
and returned from New York to Stonington on
the midnight train. On the train he accident
ally met the parents of little girl who was
supposed to have been drowned. They were
overioyed to learn that she was safe at Wal
dron's house in SJonington.
Mrs. e. M. Soule of Boston was heard to
say to her child: "Nellie, if jump will you
follow me?" to which to child replied, 81 will
mamma" They jumped and both were saveda
When the City of New York arrived with
the rescued passengers, the wharf was throng-
ed with people, all of whom with anxious
looks make eager inquiries for relatives and
friends They shouted for information before
the steamer touched the pier, and rushed
hither and thither for glance at the decks.
Several police officers were required to MAIN
tain order. When the steamer finally moored
rush was made for the gang-planks, and
many who it was feared were lost rejoined their
friends amid rejoicing.
At Attleboro Mass, Mrs. E. j. Horton, wife
the rumors regarding the loss of her husband
until Saturday evening, when her friends gen.
tly told her of his sad fate. She was so over
come with grief that it was neces-
sary to call physician to her aid. P. FL. Car
penter before reported saved, says he and Hor-
ton met in the water and spoke. Horton said,
81 am nearly exhausted and cannot hold out
much longer" They then shook hands and
said, Good bye,'' and both foated in different
directions.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE.
The Captain of the Narragansett Thinks
He was not to Blame.

The Captain of the Narragansett Thinks
He was not to Blame.
BOSTON, June ia Herald special from
Stonington, Ct, says Capt. Young, the officer
who was in temporary command of the Nara
gansett on the night of the disaster, du ring
the past two days has spent his entire time at
the scene of the accident. He has said but
little about the collision and subsequent loss of
life except to express the belief that he was in
his proper course when the accident happened,
and that when all the facts are known at the
proper time no blame whatever can be at
tached to him. He says he heard the whistle
OF the Stonington at intervals for several min
utes before the collision. but could not exactly
place her because of her lights being indistin-
guishable through the heavy mist and fog. He
was proceeding cautiously at very low rate of
speed, and was making his course; expecting
to soon pass the lightship off Cornfeld Light.
He heard the warning of Mr.. Coon on the bow
watch the moment it was given, and with the
loss of of hardly an instant ordered his engines
reversed, and did everything to avoid catas-
trophe. In regard to the cause of the fire
which followed the collision, he did not ex-
press even an opinion, and gave the inference
that he was as much in the dark as other peo-
pie. With reference to the behavior of his
crew through the trying ordeal of saving his
passengers, he says that no crew could have
done more under the circumstances. The pas
sengers on the whole behaved admirably until
the cry OF fire was raised, and then they be-
came unmanageable. Through the calmness
of his officers and men, every one of whom
stood by their posts, many were placed safely
on the life boats and RATS who otherwise would
have been lost. In regard to where the blame
OF the collision should rest, he would not ex-
press an opinion. It appears from converse
ton with leading navigators of the Sound that
Capt. Young has been sailing on these waters
for the past thirty-one years, and was consid-
cred one of the best pilots on it before ever
taking command of a steamer, which he has
done for many years.
