from being roasted by taking the less
painful method of dying by drowning. He
fell into burning lighter which was

A woman rushed to the deck of the
Bremen and held her baby out implor-

SCENE OF FIRE WHERE HUNDREDS LOST THEIR LIVES.

in 1886 for the North German Lloyd line
Shortly after her first trip she ran
aground, but was rescued without injury
She again went aground off Flynn's Knoll
in 1896, but got off unhurt. The Saale
on Aug. 4, 1892, during a fog, ran into
and sunk the Norwegian bark Tordensk-
jold. No one was injured. On June II,
1889, the Saale struck an iceberg, but es-
capped with little damage The Saale was

scores of tugs FASTENED to the piers,
drawn by the hope of salvage The first
thing to which they addressed themselves
was to extricate the beautiful steamer
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse from her dan
gerous position. She was already afre
on her starboard side forward. She was
drawn into the stream and dropped with
the ebb tide and put down her anchor.
She was surrounded by freboats and
tugs. 1t was fully twenty-five minutes
before the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
was out of reach of the flames which
We're encompossing piers and steamers.
Her commander maintained the utmest
discipline, and as the vessel was being
towed into the stream let down lifeboats
and sent his officers and crew to the res
cue of the unfortunate creatures who
We're struggling for their lives
The Saale and the Bremen We're towed
out FIVE minutes after the larger steamer
had been carried into the stream 1t was
impossible to tow the Main, and she was
left to burn and sink at her pier
Scenes of indescribable horror followed.
Frantic men were seen at the portfolios
Of the Saale vainly reckoning toward
tvs and small boats and lifting up their
hands in their entreaties for help. Their
escape from above was absolutely cut
off. They could look out of the small
portfolios and for the last time see the
blue sky and the shimmering green of the
Hudson's estuary. Scores of them died
in this way. Some Of them were clinging
TO strips of bagging and ropes which had
been thrown to them by the deck hands
of neighboring tugs. One man was pull
ed through a narrow portfolio of the
Saale, and only one, for he was small of
stature and very slender. The score of
poor wretches who saw him escape from
the portfolio were last seen clutching the
brass edge of the aperture and reviling
their more fortunate fellow.
Whisky Fed the Fire.
In the middle of pier 3 was a large
quantity of cotton bales and alongside
this inhammable substance were 100 bar
rels of whisky. The fire had its origin
in the cotton and was fed by whisky.
The casks which contained the spirits ex-
ploded and their contents were scattered
over the inflammable merchandise upon
the pier. The fire swept over the pier
with greater rapidity than the devouring
elements travel over the dry grass of the
prairies. 1t caught the awnings and rig
ging of steamers and spread with incon-
ceiyable rapidly to the highly polished
woodwork of the cabins and the infam-
nlable cargoes which were being stored
in the holds. Within nine minutes every
steamer and every pier was ablaze. Six
hundred 'longshoremen were at work
slowing the eargoes and fully 900 sailors,
engineers and stewards were ON board

between fire and water saw death coming
they went insane. Men babbled of home

fear of the furnace which lay between
them and the land bereft them of their

meant death to both. One of the surviv-
