The tug James b. Nicoll, having on
board sixty-five young men, principally
from this city, though few are known
to have belonged to Brooklyn. was sunk
Just outside Sandy Hook at IL o'clock
to-day. She also had crew of three
men and a captain.
SO far as is known only thirty-nine
persons were saved.

MAN AT THE WHEEL BLAMED.
lie puts the blame for the shocking
fatality upon whoever it was of the tugs
crew that was at the wheel at the time
1t seems TO have been case Of an at
tempt ON the part of those who managel
the tug to frighten and enjoy the fright
OF their passengers.
The fishing party left pier 8, North
River, at A. NJ. and proceeded at once
to the banks below Sandy Hook.
II Is said by the survivors OF the wreck
that the fishing Was poor and that thi
officers of the club requested the captain
to weigh anchor n number Of times ir
search OF better places. The captain, n
he was bound to do, compiled with these
requests. but was evidently VeNcd ane
out Of sorts.
When finally the sea became so hlsl
that it WAS necessary TO turn the tvs

was seized upon by those in charge OF
the tug to give the eXcursionists .

IN \ STIFF BREEZE.
There MAS a strong tide running anc

tug plunged her nose deep in the pillows

while her stern was lifted high out Of
the water.
If It was really the aim of the crew
to frishten their passengers they sue
ceeded. with each terrific plunge Of the
tug, the party on board became more
alarmed and panic-stricken.
There are said to have been two men
in the pllot-house who enjoyed the ter
ror OF the passengers, and who laughed az
them as they tried to avoid adrenchingby
the waters that came in over the bows.
The alarm increased to such an extent
that the passengers became uncon-
trollable.
Suddenly, when about two miles to
the westward OF Scotland Lightship, a.
panic stricken rush was made by nearly
everybody on board to the port side or
the tug. Just at that instant the vessei
was lifted On rising wave and the
weight on her side capsized her to port.
SHE SANK QUICKLY.
She sank in an Incredibly short space
of time; before there was chance to
make any use OF the life-preservers
with which she was provided.
The nearest vessels to the scene OF the
disaster were the coast steamer Aigon-
qu!n and the tug Robert II. Sayre. or
Hoboken.
The former, doubtless unaware that
the sunken tug had so large n party on
board. sent only one lifeboat to the res

President represented the chief.
The receptions and dinners given at
the Elysee were kept strictly UP to the
dictates which France herself gave to
the world, and even the most bourgeois
Republican admired the President for

| most prides herself in--distinctive ele-

1t was this sort OF thing, too, that
slowly won popularity for NJ. Carnot, as
