ried named Robert Lowden, better known
during the war as Charles Dale, WAS the
author of the terrible disaster Streeter
claims that Lowdcu It'd him after the

aboard large hump o, coal, in which WA
concealed a tOylsjO. This he deposited on
the tUrl heap in front OF the boilers, for The
express purpnse Of causing the wreck oi
the boat. Whether the responsibility for
tho awful crime rested solely with Lowdrn,
OF whether he was acting under the orders
