it became chronic and the old soldiers

The terrible catastrophe at Mt. Desert
Ferry Sunday, when merry excursion
party suddenly became the saddest OF
funerals, has cast gloom over all OF
Maine, and particularly over this section.
In Ellsworth, where four dead were
buried yesterday, and where others are
still towering within the shadow, there is
sadness in all hearts.
The story OF that dreadful scene has
been told and retold, and the horror OF it
has not been lessened by the telling. In
the minds OF all who witnessed the acci-
dent, the picture will ever be fresh In
their memory, nor will any who visited
the place within few hours after the
accident ever forget the heartrending
scenes OF that fatal day.
The story OF the catastrophe is the story
OF an instantaneous transition from mer-
riment to mourning, the story Of fright
fu death and noble heroism. And what
Is perhaps remarkable Is that no one 4
the hundreds OF people who witnessed CT
partic pated i'll that terrible death
struggle, tells OF a single instance Of
cowardly preservation al he sacrifice
OF OFT ers, but only OF noble effort to rescue
Others nj personal risk.
The acc dent WAS the worst in the
history OF the Maine Central railroad, or
hat can b. remem bered in the State. 1t
was indirectly due to the warships.
From all parts OF Maine the railroads
were running excursions to Bar Harbor
to see the warships. All the trains were
crowded.
The train when LET, Bangor at s.25 was
crowded " hen ii reached Ellsworth, but
here many more got on board, and the
cars were iammed when the train rolled
on the wharf at Mt. Desert Ferry.
THE FATAL GANGwAY.
From The Maiae Central wharf nj Mt.
Desert Ferry, Il gangway or gangplt k
3712 feet long by 10 feet vide gave access
to the boat. This gsngplank WAS hinged
on the inner end, and the oater end was
supported by heavy chains by which it
was raised or lowered to conform to the
tide. the gangplsnk was to appearances
merely AN oblong section OF the wharf,
made movable.
The plank vas built OF wood. Five
spruce tim hers, 3laxl2 inches, set verti-
calIy, ran the length of the gangplank,
and these were crossed bytwo-inch plank
ing. The spruce timbers were reinforced
by three 4 inch iron truss rods, bolted
through heavy hard-pine cross timber
at the hinged end of the plank, and
through another cross timber at the outer
end. These rods were fastened with 2l2-
inch nuts, set flush with the timbers no
washers or plates being used.
WHEN DEATH CAME.
When the crowded train from Bangor
rolled onto the wharf, there was the in
evitable rush OF crowd OF excursionists
eager to get on board the boat, and per-
