cars jammed with people At Mount
Desert ferry, the terminus OF tho line,
the train Is loft for the boat, for an
eighteen-mile sail TO Bar Harbor
From the wharf a slip,or gang plank,
forty feet long and ten feot wide,
leads up TO the boat,
The slip was hinged at tho inner
end and was raised or lowered TO suit
tho tide. The wharf extends on both
sides flush with the end of the wooden
gang plank, Eve timbers four by
twelve inches, set vertically ran the
length OF the plank and these were
crossed by two inch planks II Is
said that there was no support for the
plank between the hinges and the
outer end.
When the excursion train from Ban
gor arrived ut the ferry, there was
rush for the steamer Sappho, The
first few passengers had crossed the
gang plank safely, and 1t Is estimated
that 200 people were massed on the
plank, Suddenly they felt the plank
give way beneath them.
The long timbers supporting The
plank broke in the middle. The
hinges held up one end and the chain
the other while the broken ends Of
the plank dropped, and struggling,
screaming mass Of humanity was

Stupefaction the work OF rescue be-
gan. Ropes and life prcservers were
thrown to the crowd, but in the panic
people in the water clutched one an
other and many sank thus In groups

from the water unconscious and were
revived with difficulty Doctors were
summoned from all directions, but IL
was half an hour before the first mr.

The freight house at the ferry was
turned into morgue, the bodies be-
ing taken there for Identification as
fast as recovered, by noon seventeen
had been recovered. Three other per-
sons were taken on board the Sappho
and died on the way to Bar Harbor.
The exact number of the dead will
not DO known for some time yet, as u
strong tide sweeps under the pier, and
some bodies may have been caracd
away by It, A diver, who was sent
down without delay, was engaged to
search until o'clock, but only seven
teen bodies were found.

STEAMERS NARROW ESCAPE,
With 200 Persons on board Comes
Nenr EOnndorIng.

SoUIu HAVEN, Mich, Aug. THE
passenger steamer City of Grand Rap
ids, with 200 persons on board mar.
rowly escaped laundering in midlake
last night, The steamer was bound
for Milwaukee and was thirty-three
miles out when u large quantity of
water was discovered in the hold.
The water was pouring in from many
leaks and to make the situation more
desperate, the engineer was unable to
start the pumps. When the water
rose until it was within two inches Of
the fires, the steamer was turned
around and headed for South Haven.
The passengers were awakened and
told to prepare themselves for what
might happen. A wild scramble for
life saving apparatus followed. just
before the fires were put out by the
incoming water, the engineer sue
ceeded in rigging up one of the pumps,
which held the water in check until
port was reached again at o'clock
this morning.
Two inches more Of water would
have shut off the supply Of steam from
the boilers, and the steamer must
have sunk in mld-lalse, most likely
with great loss of life
