THE ARIosTo INVESTIGATION.
A Report on the Loss of Life Near
Ocracokc station.

u hcpOrt on the IOsS OF Lire NcBr
Ocrncokc station.
An investigation has been made by the
Life Saving Service into the wreck of the
steamer Ariosto and the loss Of twenty-one
lives, almost within sight OF the Ocracoke
life saving station. The investigation
showed that the vessel grounded at 3:45
a. IN. on the morning of December "a. AL
most Immediately the sea began to break
over the steamer. three OF the ships boats
were swept away. and the other two were
lowered and twenty-siX Of the officers and
crew embarked in them. They were or
dered TO remain in the lea of the stranded
vessel when the sea was c0mparativly
calm.
At a. m. the grounded ship was discov-
cred by surfmsn No. OF the Ocracoke sta
ton. He slgnaled the vessel and fastened
to the station to give the alarm. The crew
responded and was on the ground at
$50 a. m.
Meanwhile the two boats had become
separated from the steamer, and in trying
to land had capsized in the breakers. One
OF the fortunate survivors of the ship
was staggering along the beach as the life
saving crew approached the point nearest
to the wreck Efforts were made to save
the sailors who might be struggling in the
waters. and finally three were hauled out
in an unconscious condition. The Bleaching
apparatus was then brought into play and
four survivors on the vessel were brought
to land.
The investigation shows further that the
loss Of life was not due to any negligence
on the part of the life saving crew. but TO
the misjudgment OF the officers and men
aboard the AriostO. The wreck still lies
where the vessel grounded. with masts in
tact and tunnels standing. and it is the
opinion OF X. o. Crisp, the Inspector of the
Life Saving Service. who conducted the in
vestigation, that the men might have all
been saved il they had remained quietly
aboard the vessel.

one he was as iron" and could not
be moved. so he was called the Iron
Governor"

And the Iron Governor" snatched
her up, kissed her smack in the mouth
and said: And you shall have him"
True 10 his word. later that day the
wife and child came away from the
