n from Ir C a in o the mege Ship
A Threw o w nd Wen Down

The ship sunk till only part of her side
was above the water and we thought she
would 60 down under US. We saw num-
Der of boats from other ships making for
US as fast as they could come and we were
taken off by the Cromdale's gig.
$50 our ship and six mates and every
thing we own is under the bay. We ap-
prentice boys will probably be sent to the
Edenbaliymore, now at Sausalito, as she
belongs to the same firm as did the Blair
more. The Craigmore, another OF our
ships, is on her way to this port. Maybe
we will get in her."
Apprentice James Pope was also caught
in the lower hold, and although struck
with heavy piece of flying timber, sue
ceeded in escaping from the deathtrap.
He was thrown down to leeward with the
falling ballast and almost buried in the
rocks and dirt but miraculously made his
way up through the hatch.
"All the after part Of the night the ship
had been rolling over to the strong gusts
OF wind because she was so empty and the
ballast wouldn't hold her steady. Once
about 2 o'clock in the morning, we jumped
out OF our hunks when she careened so far,
thinking that her time had come, but she
righted herself slowly. When she was
empty she was as cranky as dying top,
because she was so heavily spared. While
was at work in the hold didn't like the
way she rolled-a sort of death wallow
but 1 Clipped away at the iron rust and
watched her list.
II can't tell how I escaped from the
awful uproar ana confusion of that hold.
did not hear anybody speak or cry out.
We just hurried for the ladder, which fell
down upon us. We had no time nor
breath for words. I believe some of the
men were injured, if not killed. by being
struck with the flying stuff in the hold"
Hamilton Bell, another apprentice, had
been working below, but just before the
ship went over was called up on deck by
the carpenter. He had just stepped on
deck and was almost thrown back in the
lower hold by the careening of the vessel.
Had he fallen there would have been one
more unfortunate.
He made his way out of the lee soup
pers, into which he had been thrown, and
found safe perch on the upper rail.
II saw the captain hanging on to one of
the boats" said he, with one hand and
on to his dog with the other. He became
exhausted, and believe the dog did much
to hold his master up. The water swept
everything not lashed off the upper deck,
even the chickens in their coops. The
cook, Samuel Kenny, was in the cabin and
he was lost. Poor Roland Siegle's time
was almost expired and he was going
home soon to pass his examination for an
| officers berth.
Last night as we were coming aboard
| he looked up at the ship and jokingly
said L wish the old hooker would turn

| was granted with sad results. Siegle was

wood, near Dulwich, London. He was

THE DEATH-TRAP.
Stories of the Apprentice Boys Who
We're at Work Down In the
Lower Hold.

Stewart Warwick an intelligent 19-year-
old apprentice boy, was down in the lower
hold chipping the iron-rust from the YES
sells side. He was standing on a sort of
staging rigged over the dirt ballast that
lay on the bottom of the hull. Above him
was the between-deck, which is merely
sort of balcony around long and wide
open hatch. On this between deck was
piled lot of barrels Of beef and mass of
heavy planking used in slowing cargo.
When the vessel went over on her beam
ends these barrels and planks fell into the
hold among the men struggling to escape.
Second Mate Mcdonald had his foot
crushed and Apprentice siegle was struck
down by the flying timbers, and it is pos
sible that some of the unfortunate men
were more or less injured, possibly killed,
in this manner.
'The ship was rolling to starboard all
morning." said Warwick in an interview,
"and as knew she had been behaving in
a cranky way l was little nervous. Pres
emily she listed so far over that l jumped
from the staging and was making for the
ladder, but she came back and I thought
she was all right, and 1 went back to my
work.
"But she began to 60 again and the stuff
between-decks began to slide to leeward.
Farther and farther she went slowly but
surely over till the deck was almost up and
down. The beef barrels and lumber came
flying down through the open hatch into
the hold, and the dirt and rock ballast be-
gan to pour a perfect avalanche to the
lower side. Several of US made break
for the ladder for we knew the ship was
gone. This ladder was not fastened, but
stood on the ballast reaching up to the
between-decks hatch. 1t was knocked
down and our chances of getting out OF

a plank or something struck him, and Ap-
prentice Siegle was struck ON the head.
The whole thing passed SO quickly that I
can't remember all that took place. /
know we were all trying to escape, and it
was every man for himself. The rolling,
pitching and humping of the barrels,
boards and ballast on the one side of the
ship made horrible din, and that, with
the knowledge that we would probably be
drowned like Gagged rats made US frantic
at least it did me.
s'Then the water began to pour great
food through the open matches, filing the
hull. l found myself clinging to beam
with death-like grip and somehow /
managed to get out in the open air and on
to the upper rail clear Of the water. The
second mate was helped up near me, where
he clung groaning with his wounded foot.

under the water before he could hook on.
Captain BarfieId of the Alexandra sent his
boats and crew to the rescue.
The tug Alert was soon at the scene and
tried to render assistance. Captain
Brokaw says that the air escaping from
the 3lairmore's hold threw streams of
water fifteen feet high. 1t was impossible
to do anything to save the vessel, and al
though the bay was full of tugs, they were
powerless.
Samuel Kenny, the cook and steward,
was native of New York. aged about 35
years. He shipped aboard of the ship in
this port March II.
First Mate Ludgate was 30 years old,
native of England and unmarried.
Seaman Henry Clark was a Scotchman
and about 30 years old.
Apprentice Roland Emil Siegle was a
native of London, aged Is.
Seaman G. Rennebaum was native of
Germany and about 33 years of age.
II. Synstrand, the watchman, was born
in the Island OF Mauritius about 45 years
ago.

iron clear around the square to a thin skin
Just barely enough to hold the almost de-
tached piece of plate in its place.
"Tben came the critical moment, and
we prepared to break the piece in with our
heavy sledge-ham The tide was be-
ginning to lap over the plate which we had
pierced, and in a short time it, too, would
be beneath the water.
"Then we struck together. Two good,
sure blows and the piece fell in-and my
God, shall never forget what then took
place.
''The air seemed to heave itself out of
the vessel in solid body, and the hull
dropped, I might say, right from under
us. The water rushing in through the
gaping hole would meet the ascending
force from below and be driven upward
fully ten feet with tremendous roar.

81 understand that the first mate in the
hold with the men was knocked down by
a heavy piece of timber and disabled. He
grabbed line, but the water running over
the hatch washed him further down IN the
hold"
Third Officer Melville was in the hold
and escaped when the ship went over by
clinging to ladder. He says that the in
coming water drove the unfortunate men
back from the hatches and drowned them
like rats in trap. There was no chance
to help each other, and it was every man
for himself
Captain John Cav was on deck when his
ship took her fatal roll, and as she settled
in the bay chung to boat He held on to
his dog and did not let the animal go until
it was safely deposited in the Cromdale's
gig. When seen after the disaster he was
SO affected by the loss of his ship and men
that he could hardly speak.
"lt was SO quickly DONE" said he, "that
L can't explain how it happened. The
tide was bearing us one way and the strong
puffs of wind blowing us the other, and
over we went. My poor ship bowed her
self down, and she's gone. But my poor
men-that's the worst of all. I can't talk
about it."
Captain White of the ship British Yeo-
man stated that one of his men saw the

vent of the poor sailors within.
The British ship Blairmore of Glasgow,
belonging to Thomp pson & Dickie, is OF the
same line as the Edenballymore, at pres
ent lying at Sausalito, and the Craigmore,
now on her way here from New South
Wales. She was steel vessel, 264 feet in
length, 80 feet of beam and % feet of hold.
She was of nearly 1900 tonnage.
She arrived here early in February with
a cargo of coal, and owing to the low char
ters to be obtained at the present time she
was lying in Mission Bay, in ballast and
being cleaned.
Excepting the case of the Earl of Dal-
housie, when two sailors were drowned
about eight years ago in this bay, no other
capszing of a sailing vessel has occurred in
these waters.

Far away, over at the Union Iron Works
wharf, lay the tug Rockaway. Superin-
tendents John Scott and Dickie were
aboard of her watching the threatened
catastrophe through marine glasses.
When it occurred they were not slow in
acting. They went out to the rescue
at once.
The masts and spars had all disappeared
and the port side of her r~lazily swung in
the swash of the bay. There was vast
expanse exposed, however, perhaps 200
feet by Is in surface, but hardly over three
feet out OF water. All entrances to the
ship were under water, and the air still
inside the hull kept the vessel ahoat.
If the unfortunate five men within man
aged to escape the sdings and the ballast
which must have tumbled dangerously
about them during the Follower, there was
one chance for their being still alive, float
ing in the hull at the air level in the
bilge.
The Union Iron Works men say that
when they reached the vessel they could
hear those within yelling and pounding
on the vessels bottom.
their workmen boarded the upturned hull,
and Immediately proceeded to cut hole
through the vessels steel plates. They
trusted that they could save the men be-
fore the air rushing out would cause her to
sink completely.
The eighteen-inch hole was partly
chiseled through, and with a strong blow
with a sledge the plate was smashed in.
The compressed air within burst out, and
as the tremendous weight of the hull
pressed downward the water gushed out in
perfect geyser to the height of twenty
odd feet. The workmen hardly had time
to get off the sinking hull to the tug, leav-
ing their tools behind.
A moment later all of the British ship
Blairmore was hidden below the surface of
| the bay.
The ship lay in over seven fathoms of
water, and it was not until late in the
afternoon, at low tide, that her side, o.
| pearing like huge whale asleep on the
bays surface, peeped out as resting place
for the seagulls. These scavengers of the
