CAPT. ALIENS DEFENSE.
He Believes There Was No Lookout on
the NiZcaya.

He Believes There Was No Lookout on
the Vizcaya.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. Capt. John
Allen, of the i'll fated coastwise coal
schooner Cornelius Hargrave, whose collis-
ion with the Spanish passenger steam
ship Vizcaya off Barnegat Thursday
night resulted in the sinking of both
ships and the loss of many lives, denies
that he did not do his full duty as the
commanding officer of the Hargrave. II
think my first mates accounts of the
cause of the collision is mainly correct"
he said, "but / can't say that / agree with
him regarding the action of the Vizcaya's
officers. My opinion is that there was not
any lookout on the ViZcaya at all. The
disaster was due to the earelessness of the
officers on the Spanish steamship. So far
as am concerned, j adhered to maritime
law and did my duty to the letter If
there had been lookout on the ViZcaya
really don't see how there could have been
collision.
1--WE saw the green lights of the steamer
several miles away about at half hour be-
fore the disaster occurred. Our red lights,
which were in perfect order, were burning.
When Perring informed me that steamer
was in sight went on deck. The steam
ship was running at twelve knots an hour,
and we were going along at about seven
knots. Being sailing vessel and on the
starboard side, we had the right of way.
The steamer pressed down upon us. Feel
ing that something was wrong, took an
extraordinary precaution of having a torch
waved, but the steamer kept bearing down
upon us. Then | jumped for the steam
whistle and sounded it. Here the Vizcaya
people seemed to realize the danger and
the steamships course was changed, but
it was too late. Both vessels were so large
that neither could veer about in an instant
We struck her amidships. That's how it
all happened. twas gross carelessness on
board the Vizcaya. / hear that have been
accused of having deserted Second Mate
Walker and Lookout Harry Gamer; that
l Intentionally left them on the sinking
vessel. That is not true. Walker was or
dered to take charge of the boat so that
the Spaniards could not steal it. When
we pushed off from the sinking vessel
neither Walker nor Gamer was around.
''It was their fault that they did not get
into the boat After we had left the Har-
graves l neard Walker yelling to me. |
yelled back for him and Gamer to jump
overheard, and we would pick them up.
You see, if we had gone back to the sink
ing schooner the Spaniards would have
made a rush to get into the boat and un-
doubtedly all of us would have been
drowned. If Walker and Gamer had
jumped overheard then we would have
picked them up. / think did what was
right"
Capt Allen will remain in the city for a
couple of days ans then will start for his
home at Fall River. Mass The Cornelius
Hargraves had some twenty owners, OF
whom Capt, Allen is one. They claim
that their total loss will be s64 900, the in
surance on the vessel being very light.

figures may be slightly changed by later
and more exact compilations, but such
changes will not be material. In 1880
the population was so, 155, ,S72. The abso-
lutte increase of the population in ten years
intervening was 1924, 757 and the percent
age of increase was "A. ST. In 1870 the popu-
lation was stated as IS, ,55S,371. According
to these figures the absolute increase in the
decade between 1870 and 1880 was II, ,597, ,4l2
and the percentage of increase was 3ooS.
The bulletin announcing these figures is
addressed to Secretary Noble and signed
by Superintendent Porter. 1t says:
Superintendent Porter Explains.
upon their face these figures show that
the population has increased between 1880
1870 and 1890 while the rate of increase has
apparently diminished from 30.oS to "a 81
per cent. II these figures were derived
from correct data they would indeed be
disappointing. Such reduction in the
rate of increase in the face of the enormous
immigration during the past ten years
would argue great elimination in the
fecundity of the population or correspond
ing increase in its death rate. These fig
ures are, however, easily explained when
the character of the data used is under
stood. 1t is we'll known the fact having
been demonstrated by extensive and thor

was grossly deficient in the southern states,
