HEROIC RESCUE
WORK BY CREW
OF THE ARN0TT
Seamen Leap Into Water
Dotted by Drowning
Persons.
Save Many Lives and
Recover Bodies of Fif-
teen Dead.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Captain Van
Etten of the tugboat Arnott says:
while bringing the Arnott down the
sound and when a short distance east
of Rykers Island I saw about a mile
from a large steamboat. Ringing for
full speed, we soon got to the Slocum.
Coming up on the port side, the Arnott
stood within a hundred yards of the
blazing vessel. One man got out the
hose, for the intense heat was already
scorching the paint of the Arnott, and
two Of the crew, John Olsen and Gun
der Anderson, peeled off their outer
clothing and jumped into the water,
which was filled with floating persons,
some dead others unconscious and
some begging to be saved. Olsen and
Anderson seized and brought TO the
side of the tugboat eight persons, six
women and two. children. Three Of the
women were unconscious. Then the two
brave fellows recovered fifteen dead
bodies, one being that of big man,
who was extensively dressed. A large
diamond glistened in the bosom of his
shirt.
"Olsen saw three children not more
than years of age floating near the
shore. Jumping overheard he rescued
two. Holding their heads out of the
water with his left arm, he used his
right in swimming. Then he returned
to the other child floating in the water
and swan with it to the island.
Three times the tugboat caught fire.
A launch from North Brother Island
brought a physician. who revived the
three unconscious women. One of thenf
became crazed and attempted to COM
nit suicide by jumping overheard. A
9-year-old boy also became temporarily
insane. He declared his mother had
been drowned, and he fought desper-
ately and attempted TO jump overheard.
II am positive there were at least 200
bodies floating around the Arnott.
Women and children and an occasional
man jumped from the burning vessel
and nearly all were drowned.

was sounded and the crew of the boat,
numbering twenty-three men, worked
like nailers to get water on to that
part of the boat that was burning.
THE fire was under the forward
boilers on the port side. as I made it
out in the excitement. My men were
exerting their efforts to keep the pas
sengers from jumping. The fire was
gaining every instant and the cries
of people burning to death could be
heard above every other discordant
sound.
Il got the boat under way for North
Brother Island, which was the safest
place to attempt to land. The boat was
driven on under full speed and pulled
up sideways to the shore of the island.
Many had jumped prior to this.
Many were jumping every instant
MY pilots, Edward Van Wart and
Edward NJ Weaver were doing every
thing to get safely toward shore and
Engineer B. T. Conklin remained in
the hold. Mate Edward Flanagan had
charge of the fire brigade but when
the fire spread over all We had to get
off the boat My hat was burning
when l jumped, and 1 was pulled out
of the water and hauled up on shore
under a tree before 1 remembered what
had occurred.

NEW YORK, June 15.-William W.
Tembley, one of the deckhands arrest
ed. came here recently from San Fran
cisco. In his statement to Coroner
Berry he said: I'VE had about HOO per-
sons aboard. The fire started in the
forward cabin, which was used as a
storeroom, below the main deck. don't
know what started it. 1 ran forward
and assisted the first engineer to
stretch a hose up TO the forward deck.
This didn't do any good, because we
couldn't get any water through the
hose. 1 went to the promenade deck
forward, where 1 pulled down four
strings of life preservers.
There was a panic. 1t was absolute
ly hell. Men and women and children
grabbed for preservers. 1 tried TO put
one on three times, and they were torn
away from me.
Finally 1 got my hands through the
armholes of a life-preserver, grabbed
two children and jumped overheard.

SCIENTIFIC TURTLE
HUNTING EXPEDITION
A Party of State University Profess
sors Are to Visit the Galapagos
Islands.

The Academy Of Sciences is prepar-
ing to send an expedition to the Gala
pagos Islands for the purpose of col
lecting specimens of animals and island
birds that are rapidly becoming ex-
tinct. H. T. A. Huss of the department
of botany and William Hunter of the
chronological department of the Uni
versity of California and a party of
scientists are to accompany the expe-
dition.
A schooner will be chartered and
year will be consumed in the trip. Di-
rector Loomis of the Academy museum
states that the matter is only in its
beginning, and no date has been set for
the sailing of the expedition. The Gal
apagos Islands once teemed with ami
NAL life not to be found elsewhere. 1t
is passing away. Several scientific ex-
peditions-one from Stanford Univer-
sity-have visited that group and have
returned with many valuable speci-
mems, one of which was the great land
tortoise, now becoming rare.

STAGE TEMPEST
WRECKS SINGER
Miss Flora Redledge, Chosen
Annabel in robin Hood"
at the TiyOli, Taken Off
CHAMPIONS MISS SEFTOl
During the Rehearsal She
Speaks Out Her Mind and
Has Her Contract Cancelled

The Tivoli stage tempests have
wrecked another singer, and the lost
chords have blown away in shreds of
sound
Last week Miss Seton and her Ser
geant Kitty went down and yester-
day her friend and comrade, Miss
FIoye RedIedge. who had been cast in
Miss Seftons place to warble Anna
bells lines in Robin Hood" next week,
was taken off after two rehearsals.
The management gives as a reason
for this second change in the song bill
that Miss Redledge's work as shown
in the rehearsals was not satisfactory,
but the singer AYERS in several Octaves
that her fellowship friendship and
championship for and of Miss Seton
is the threefold reason of her dis
missal.
Certainly the TivoH powers-that-be
received a piece of her mind. and Miss
Dora de Fillippi viii sing Annabel In
Robin Hood" next week.
"Of course ! spoke Of the manner
in which Miss Seton had been treat
ed said Miss Redledge last night,
for it was a shame. I said so TO Mr..
Strine and he sent me to Mr.. Leahy.
To-day as / came past the Tivoh just
before rehearsal the first thing l saw
was a big flaming handbill of Robin
Hood and my name was not on II.
I asked Mr.. Leahy TO come and eX-
plain it all. and he said explanations
were not in order. When 1 got home
I found a note from the theater telling
me that my contract was Cancelled.
"One Of the managers of the Tivoli
said he wished I were a man. For his
special benefit I heartily wish 1 were
for a short time. I have sung in the
East and in London with the best Of
companies and neither Miss Seton nor
myself had to come out here to the
TivoIi TO be told after only two re
hearsals that we can't sing. But we'u
not bother the Tivon over the matter.
They may cancel our cOntracts-a
clause gives them that power-but we
claim the two weeks notice and fare

something like pool had been ar
ranged by which these various ele-

Late in the day reactionary ten
6ency became fairly general under the
weight of the selling to realize, and
the level of prices receded materially
from the highest. The late selling was
somewhat aggravated by the report of
a banking failure in Cleveland, and the
downward tendency was not very eff
fectually arrested before the close,
which was unsteady. The forecast of
another favorable bank statement for
