Pess, not so much ut the rate that has
kob5ed them of their loved ones as at the
supposed carelessness and incompetence
which they consider was shown in the
management of the ili-fated Sea Wing.
Strong words and bitter thoughts are on
(he lips and in the hearts Of almost every
bne that is to be met with round town.
Eapt. Wethern, who commanded the Sea
Wing, and his crew are denounced yigor-
pusly and if ali that is said were true they
would surely deserve speedy justice.
Even though conflicting stories are
told of the occurrence, the condition of
The crew and the orders of the captain,
Enough seems to be established to bring
Upon them some pretty strong and well
Deserved censure. The mildest and best
view of the whole sad affair seem to indi-
cate a woeful lack Of judgment on the
part of the captain in leaving shore to 20
out into the storm.
