CAPTAINS CRUELTY AT THE FIRE.

CAPTAINS CRUELTY AT THE FIRE.
Tugboat owners representing about all the
ing lines of New York HGrbor met yester-
day the Produce Exchange to take action
the reports that captains brutal the suf-
ferers from the Hoboken fire. There were over
one hundred at the meeting. Captain George L.
Norton. Editor of The Marine Journal" presided,
and F. NJ. Timmins was the secretary. Captain
Norton in opening the meeting said this the
first time in history that the New-York Harbor
tug had been called towards or accused of
brutality. Before this they had always and justly
been looked upon brave life savers.
Captain Eli b. Conine, of the Conine Towing
Company. declared that he willing to go to
extremes to convict and punish the who
jabbed a boathook at a drowning man who was
calling for help If any one had seen boathook
used it was he felt sure TO save and not to kill.
Captain Conine said he was on his boat during
the whole fire and had many brave rescues.
His tug took men off the Saale and pulled others
out of the The Mutual took many persons
off the Saale and the Bremen. The Maria Hof-
man saved great number, and the Nettie Tice
took thirty or forty from the end Of pier, who
must soon have been burned TO death if not
cued The Tice did this instead OF working for
salvage. Coffee was given to those who were
saved.
Captain a. B. Eldridge Of the tugboat D. S.
Arnott, spoke Of handling food TO the through
the portholes. He had been with the Bremen from
Saturday at o'clock until Sunday morning /.
lie took seventeen men from the Bremen. These
charges he believed would have their effect
throughout the world. They false, and they
should be contradicted. Tugboat captains did
have half enough credit in his opinion. When the
Bremen drifted down the river it came near to the
FAN River Line piers. and if it had been towed
away there might have been great fire the
New York side
The captain Of the Margaret I.anox spoke Of the
life saving that the engineer Of the Wendell Good

barges. She had two children in her arms Their
