BosroN, June lS.-The Herald has the follow
ing special:
SToNINGroN, Conn.,, June lS.
Captain Young, the officer who was in tenn
porary command OF the Naragansett on the
disaster, during 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 the proper
course when the accident happened. and Tia at
ever can be attached to him. He heard the
whistle of the Stonington at intervals for sew
eTal minutes before the collision, but could not
exactly place her, because OF her nights being
indistinguishable 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
light ship of Carnneld light. de heard The
warning OF Mr.. Cook on the bow watch the
moment ii was given, and with the loss OF
hardly an instant he ordered his en-
avoid the catastrophe. In regard 10
the cause of the fire. in which
followed the collision, he did not express
even au opinion, and gave the inference that
he was as much in the dark as other people.
With reference TO the behavior oi his crew
through the trying ordeal of wing his passen-
gers, he says no crew could have done more
under the circumstances. The passengers on
OF fire was raised, and then they became un
manageable. Through the GOODNESS of his Off
GERS and men, every one OF whom stood by
their posts many were placed safely on life
boats and RATS who otherwise would have
been lost. In regard to where
the blame of the collision should rest,
he would not express an opinion. 1t appears
from a conversation with the leading naviga-
tors of the sound that Captain Young has been
sailing with Thomas L Waters Tor the pest
thirty ons years. aud was considered one of
msnd of steamer, which he has done for
many years.
