CAPTAIN THOMPSON'S ACCOUNT
or THE DISASTER.
Went on An Uncharted Reef in the
Flores sea-All Hands saved-Vessel
a Total Loss.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 2i.-Captain
Chadwick Thompson, who was in COM
mand of the American ship lruquois
when she struck a reef last March in
the Flores sea and with his wife and
part of the crew was tossed about sew
en- days on the open sea in a little
boat, arrived in this city Thursday on
the Transport Fitzpatrick. Though the
ship was lost. all the members of the
crew are still alive. Captain Thomp-
son tells the following story Of the dis
aSter:
I'VE sailed from New York on No
vember 22d for Tsintau, China, with a
cargo of case Oil Everything went all
right until we got into the Java sea.
| There we met with contrary winds,
and l decided that it was advisable to
take the Sapi straits passage in going
from the Java sea to the Flores sea. 1
kept taking soundings in the strait
| Before l had the lead line in, showing
thirty-five fathoms we were in three
| fathoms. We had struck a reef that
runs all along the shore of Galibanta
| Island, though on no chart is such
/ reef indicated. We struck bow first
and then the ship swung around and
went on brOadside. That was 3 o'clock
| in the morning. l at once ordered the
| boats out and thenStried to heave the
! ship off with the bow anchor but with
! out success.
! Before ? o'clock in the afternoon
| her planks were floating around in the
| water. l knew there was no way of
getting her off and decided to set out
! for Macassar, the nearest point of ca
! bic communication. First Mate Hill
! grove volunteered to stay with the Iro-
| quOis and l left him and six men and
the cook, after securing the ship so she
would not break adrft. We started
! for Macassar at o'clock in the even
! ing. l was in charge of one boat and
! the second mate of a second. Though
we had sails set we kept the men at
! the oars all the time. \ strong easterly
| current caught us and landed us not at
| MaCassar but at Dinepi. On that island
we got some water from a spring near
the beach and then went on again
! before evening as we were not certain
! that the natives were friendly. We
! had plenty of food and in two days we
arrived at Salayer, a Dutch colony.
All the men behaved well during the
voyage and nothing but tropical rains
! bothered us. l was seven days without
sleep but l soon made up for that.
| From Salayer we went to Macassar in
a steamer. In the meantime the mate
! had to leave the Iroquois as she went
adrift and was lost sight of. She is
probably at the bottom of the sea as
no wreckage could ever be found"
