The Hamilton was bound from New

The inrushing water caused the Sag
nav to settle rapidly in the stern. The
impetus Of the Hamilton. which was
only slightly injured, took it out Of
sight of the crippled vessel, but the en-
gines. already reversed, were put full
steam to the rear and the Hamilton
circled to the scene of the wreck, at
the same time lowering two lifeboats.
When the Saginaw was again sighted
the stern was under water and the bow
high in the air. Panic-stricken people
rushed over the decks and scrambled
toward the bow. Lifeboats were low
cred from the Saginaw and into the
first Is negro women were placed. The
boat was swamped and all its occu-
pants were drowned except the second
officer and the negro stewardess. The
latter died before she reached the Ham
ilton.

Meantime the rush of waters into the
bow of the Saginaw had caused the
decks to burst from their fastenings
with a roar and tons of freight soon lit
tered the sea. To the floating wreck

chung with desperation and many,of
them were rescued by boats from the
Hamilton. Before the lifeboats of the
Hamilton could reach the Saginaw the

topmasts were visible. To these sew
eral men were clinging, one of whom
was the aged captain. j. S. Tunnel. He
was rescued and found to be suffering
from serious internal injuries.

The Hamilton arrived in this city
with the survivors of the Saginaw. It
was some time before any definite
statement could be secured from the
officials of either line regarding the
number of people lost and saved. Even
after official lists had been given out
there was a great discrepancy between
the statements Of passengers and the
