boat began to rock, the crowd surged from

stated that a number OF youths on The upper

THE cArTAIx's STATEMENT.
LONDON, 0Sr., May 26.--Caplain Rankin
who was IN command Of the Victoria, say,
ne believes the vessel would have recovered
herself only Tor the boiler going over, ant
as IL went II carried away the main deck
ana that let down the upper deck with the
crowd on u. There were not one hundred
people on the lower deck. The after part
OF The boat went down, but the fore part
came to the surface, and the boat was
spread about six feet apart. The result
was that many OF the passengers were i'm.
prisoned between the water and the
top deck, which came down above
them, but they had breathing space
OF foot or so, which would have
saved many had not others persisted In
climbing on the floating deck, thus crush
ing it down and smotbering those under
meath. The Victoria was a Hat.bottomed
boat, scow-shaped at both ends, and regis
tered 10 carry 400 passengers. Captain
Rankin does not think there were more
than $50 on board. He attributes the dis
aster TO the fact that the vessel leaked
badly, and says that a boy, sent down TO
the engineer Just before the accident, re.
ported bali an arms length OF water in the
hold. Captain Rankin says he was praying
earnestly that the boat might reach the
sand.bar, where he intended to beach her.
