lated Press.)-A careful examination
by divers and Others in the vicinity of

indicate that the twenty victims report
ed in last nights dispatches are all

one may die of injuries and two are
suffering with pneumonia from the ex-

The Maine Central railroad ran ex-
cursion trains from all over its line in
Maine to permit OF people visiting the
warships of the north Atlantic squad
ron, which arrived in the harbor from
Newport, II. L., Saturday. The trains
were switched off ihe Boston and Maine
road to the short line of the Maine
Central, which at Mount Desert ferry
connects with the small steamer Sap
pho, which plies between that point
and Bar Harbor.
The first train brought 1900 persons,
and as the crowd had been told by
train hands that the steamer could
moi accommodate one-fourth of the
number there was a rush for the ferry
ship as soon as the train stopped.
About 200 gained the decks of the
steamer and as many more were on ths
slip, when with crash that sourded
like the explosion of boiler the
weakened structure broke in two in
the center and the people We're swept
off each end into lie water.

eco people We're penaed intota ebox-like
area of 20 by 30 feet aud beyond the
assistance of the people high above
them on the wharf.

es hastened to the rescue, and with
ropes. plan.is and ladder quickly aid
ed $50 persons to safety, and there
We're numerous heroic rsscues. Fred

among the first hurled into the water,
held many women and chililrensnrst8

gotten out. He was the hern of the
hour, and his nerve and cooluess

| than any other one thing, and when,
exhausted, he was drawn up. a mighty
cheer went up from the crowd that by

to fully ? SEQ people. Forty-one of the
rescued We're so seriously injured that
they required immediate medical and
surgical attention. and they We're, re-
