Maurcr said to an Evening "orld'
reporter to-day:
I'VE were about off Seabright when
1t began to blow up strongly and the
boat was making In for the Horseshoe.
"A heavy sea was rolling and the tug
rocked and strained badly. l had been
fishing. but had an attack OF .seosickness
and was lying down back OF the pil)t-
house Finally tremendous roller came
ani II ,carcened, the tug 50 sutden:y to
one side that j slipped Off the upper
deck into the water.
"There were twenty-five or thirty
others right around me, and one OF the
tugs crew cut away rowhoat and let
ii fall into the water. Those who were
in the water near me made plunge TO
grab hold OF the .rowboat, and about
kept turning the boat over and over
and we all had n very hard time keeping
hold. ,
II was getting pretty chilled, and
we must have been in the water a half
hour when the tug Sayre steamed up
to us and hauled us out. l don't think
any Of US could have clung on to the
rowboat five minutes longer. / heard
it said the captain was in the wheel
house reading n paper when the acci-
dent occurred, and that boy was
handling the wheel"
1t was also rumored this morning that
policeman OF the East Twenty-second
street station was on the Ncol when
she went down. and that he was drowned.
When seen at the station-house. Capt.
Gallagher said that he had heard the
rumor. but had not yet ascertained
whether or not any OF his men were
missing. He could not tell until 6 o'clock
tonight, at which time II there were
any policemen that did not report, the
Captain said he would make an inves-
tigation.
