BEVERLY, Mass. July l-The small
excursion steamer. Surf City. with abou;
sixty Passengers on board. while half way
over from Salem Willows to the wharf
mere, distance OF about six miles, was
struck BY a terrific sdnau about o clock
tonight and eapSized. OF those on board.
a large majority are believed TO have been
rescued by boats from both the Salem and
Beverly shores, but 10 less than SIX bodies
had been recovered al dark. and as It is
known that many rushed into the cabin
before the squali, 1t Is thought that twice
as many bodies are stil confined there As
one or two OF those taken ashore are IL a
critical condition. It appears likely that the
list OF dead may reach a score.
The following bodies we're recovered
from the wreck: Mrs. Catharne ID. Web
Der. Is years old, of Beverly.
Miss Grace Smell. 15year-oid daughter
of Arthur Snea. of Beverly.
Three-year-old son Of John Kenny. Of
Beverly.
Two unidentified wunen.
One unidentified 6-year-old boy.
OF those rescued. Miss Bertha Lovets,
of North Beverly: Hazel Herzey, one year
old, Of Beverly; Miss Emerson. of DAN
vers and an unknown 2-year-old girl,
are s.ill in critical condition.
Otto Carris, the fireman. was badly
scalded.
The vessel had just reached Beverly
Beach when the storm struck and at the
same time. a lightning bolt struck the
beacon at the end of the bar.
Amid the terrific din OF thunder, which
followed the lightning flashes. and the
fearful whirlwind. the little steamer
careened over TO starboard, and went
down, SO suddenly that even the command
err had the greatest difficulty In getting
out the boat. The boa. sank In abou; tif-
teen feet OF water.
Her hurricane deck was loosened In the
gale and all those on board were either
drowned or struggled desperately to get
from under the decks or out OF the cabin.
The steamer was seen to go down by per-
sons on both sides of the bay, and boats
put out TO the wreck, reaching her In a
few moments. Those In the water were
quickly hauled aboard, and with the liv-
ing were put into the boat number OF
dead. including the bodies of TWO children.
The scene while the work of rescue was
going on was fearful one. as over half of
those on board were women. and their
screams could be heard for miles. Many
chung 10 the top OF the hurricane deck
and supported themselves until the boats
came, while others grasped the fagstaffs
and even the smokestaclas.
