Cruel Treatment Of Shipwrecked
Sailors by an American Naval
Officer
A Serious Charge Against Capt.
Ludlow, of the Mohican,
Now at Sitka.
Tho story as Told by One of tho Crew Of
tho American Whsling Bark
kea Ranger.

New BEDFORD. Mass, June 23.--ThYeo
officers on the wrecked whaling bark Sea
Ranger arrived At this port to-day from
Port Townsend, Wash. by rail. One OF
them, John Rogers, Of this city, says he has
been shipwrecked three times. but never
before met with such outrageous treatment
by white men rs he and the crew of the Sea
Ranger met with at Sitka. Alaska. When
the thirty-six men reached Sitka they had
nothing but what they carried OH their
backs. The authorities at Sitka could do
nothing for them. They wanted food, not
money.
In ths harbor of Sitka were two United
States enters and two American men-of-
war, the Mohican and the Ranger. Capt.
Foley. Of tho Sea Ranger. saw Capt. Lud-
low. of the Mohican. and implored him 10
do something for the men in procuring
food and other necessaries. Capt. Lud-
| low told Capt. Foley no could not keep u.s."
Gays Rogers, 'and told him to draw on the
owner of the Sea Ranger. Capt. Foley, by
signing for $50 worth of rations for one
week for the crew, was able TO keep the men
from starving. The steamer City Of
Topeka. from Port Townsend. arrived at
| Sitka June TO- The captain refused TO take
us to Port Townsend, a. We had no money
to pay passage" The men. Rogers con-
tinues, became desperate. and began to
| plan to do some outrage in order to get in
| Jail. whore they would at least get some
thing to est and shelter. Capt. Ludlow
| was again asked for aid, but would do
nothing without pay.
Capt. Foley pawned the chip chronoms-
ter and managed to get enough money to-
| gether to take himself and five officers and
son TO Port Townsend on the City OF To-
| peka. The remainder Of the Grew was left
at Sitka. The night before leaving Capt.
Foley asked Capt. Ludlow, of the Mohioan.
for food for the men he was obliged to

Bulkheads and Armor Afforded the Vic

Bulkheads and Armor Afforded the Vic-
toria No Protection.
LONDON. june 23.-An interview was had
certain his views of the disaster. He said
without doubt the Camperdown's ram cut
away the Victoria's plating on tho outside
of several of her transverse bulkheads.
Had this not been the case the bulkheads
could have been closed and the water kept
in one or at most two of her compartments.
and tho vessel would still haNc hoated.
MRight Hon. Arthur Bower Forwood, the
we'll known ship owner, who WAS formerly
secretary of the admiralty. was also inter
viewed. Forwood said 1t was a wonder
such An accident had not occurred before.
Tho Victoria had longitudinal pulkhead
running through her, besides number
running across the ship. She was thus
divided into compa tments on each
side of the longitudinal bulk
head. without communication be-
tween them. The Camperdown probably
struck the Victoria ripping blow. opening
the plates over several OF the compart-
ments. The water was then admitted into
the ship. causing her to capsize by her great
weight. Tho longitudinal bulkhead was a
good thing in its way. Forwood said. bus it
did not seem to avert the disaster.
In discussing the disas aster this evening
Lotd Bsassey, for some time secretary of
the admiralty, said the sinking of the Vic
.toria supplied a strong argument against
| the building OF more big men. of-war. 1t
was evident. he SAID, the Viotoria's armor
afforded her no protection from the Camper
| downs ram. While not convinced that
smaller vessels were safer than large ones
he thought it wiser to distribute the coun-
try's naval strength among many less pre-
tentious men-of-war, rather than among y
few monster battleships.
