men were clinging, one of whom was
the aged captain, j. S. Tunnel. When
he was taken off it was found that he
had suffered severe if not serious inter-
nal injuries.
The Hamilton lowered around the
scene Of the wreck for more than an
hour. but no sign of life could be seen
among the mass of floating freight.
Two bodies. one of man and the other
of woman. both clad only in night
dresses We're observed drifting be-
tween bales of cotton and cases of
goods
The first news of the disaster was
learned at Old Point. where the HAM
ibton stopped for a few moments on her
way to Norfolk.
She arrived at her pier in this city,
about 2 o'clock. this afternoon. The
bow plates are stove in and much
wreckage still chung to her. All of the
damage however, was above the water
line.
The survivors of the Saginaw on
board the Hamilton had been given
clothing by the passengers and sea-
men on the more fortunate vessel, and
sengers to be distributed among them.
1t was some time before any DEFINITE
statement could be secured from the
officials of either line regarding the real
number lost and saved and even now,
after official lists have been given out,
there is great discrepancy between
the statements of passengers ana the
companies statements.
According to the Clyde Line officials,
the names of only IS passengers are
known, and it is admitted by Second Of
dcer Morris that Is colored women, all
of whom are now dead. were in the
swamped life boat.
