Sinking of Japanese Transport.

1t is impossible - ascertain accurately
the figures of the losses sustained by the
japanese as result of the sinking OF
the transport Hitachi and the shellirg
of the transport Sado. A survivor re-
ports to Vice Admiral Tsunoda that the
Hitachi WAS hit 60 times and caught
fire. A boat from the Sedo was sent to
the Russians for the purpose of a parley.
The Russians agreed to give the Sado
40 minutes to clear ship and said they
would take the noncombatants on board.
The Russians later, it is declared, re-
fused to receive the noncombatants, ex-
cept an Engishman, the chief mate, and
before the 40 minutes had expired the
Russians, it is further said, torpedOed
the ship on both sides.
Colonel Luchi, commanding the troops
on the Hitacbi, and many Others COM
mitted suicide. The majority OF the
passengers of the Sado were rescued.
The greater number of those who were
on board the Hitachi was annihilated.
The fire was terrific and in a few
minutes the decks were covered with
corpses awash with blood. One shell
which struck the engineroom killed 2OO
men. The ship began to fill and sank
gradually by the stern. AT 6 o'clock in
the evening she was completely SUBJ
merged. Captain Campbell, the Eng
lish master of the transport, jumped
overheard at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
and is numbered among the missin /;
The chief eug gineer was killed on th'
bridge. The Sado subsequently grounded
on the east coast of Okino Island. 1t i
exnected that she can be saved.

ERROR OF JUDGMENT 2

The point in regard to the burning
and wrecking of the steamer General
Slocum, point upon which so much
hangs, yet which will probably never be
settled beyond dispute, is: Did Captain
Van Schaick, of the Slocum, lose time
through an error of judgment by steam
ing nearly two miles to North Brother
Island, instead of heading his boat to
the several points along the river to
which he could have taken her? Care
ful investigation bas been made for the
purpose of clearing up this point. The
result is that experienced rlyermen,
usually tugboat captains who have been
towing in the Harlem river and upper
East river for % years and know every
shoal and fiat and cove in the waters
thereabouts, agree that there were no
less than eight points at which the Slo-
cum might have been beached between
the discovery of fire in her forward
compartment when she was in the East
river opposite One Hundred and Tenth
street and her iual beaching on the
point of North Brother Island, some
thing more than two miles up the river.
After the whole course of the ill-fated
boat had been gone over it was hard to
understand why Captain Van Schaick
steered the Slocum as he did, with GER
tain salvation for his passengers and
crew within 400 feet, and the expert
enced rivermen who surveyed tne course
were as unable to understand as were
others who make orly casual trips up the
river. None was willing to believe that
Captain Van Schsick was anything but
the brave, competent man that his rec
ord shows him to have been.
All we're loath to believe that Captain
Van Schaick did anything except what
seemed to him best. The opinion of
these tugboat men is summed up est,
perhaps, expressed in the statement
made by one old captain who has been
working in those rivers longer than any
other licensed pilot there. He said;
at is hard to understand why Cap
tain Van Schaick did not see the other
beaches that were right at hand. In
my opinion Captain Van Schaick saw
that a good many of his passengers
would be injured, and believing, maybe,
that few could escape, he thought that
the best thing that he could do for them
would be to get as close as he could to
hospital and so osteered for North Brother
Island, where he knew that there were
hospitals, physicians and muses.. 1t
seems to me that he could't have realized
that the Slocum would burn so quickly
or else he would have done differently"
