be obtained unless the passenger list of the
Narragansett was recovered. Timothy Muir

lished in the list of missing, this morn
ingI5visited the offices of the company.
When asked how often the crew of the Mar
ragansett were drilled in the use of life boats,
Murphy said he had heard nothing of it.
'sHow often was there fire drill9" was in

on board" was the reply. Treasurer Bah
cock could not speak of the system of dis
cipline on board the Stonington steamers, in
regard to drill in use of life boats, etc., as
those matters were not within his province.
An official inquiry into the disaster will be
made by the New London board of steam
boat inspectors.
