NEW YORK: Six hundred per-
sons. men, women and children,
perished by the burning Of the ex.
cursion steamer, General Slocum. near
He'll Gate. in the East river. The
Slocum, with the annual Sunday
school excursion of st. Marks Luth.
eran church OF this city. on board was
proceeding up the river to one Of
the many resorts Of Long Island.
When near One Hundred and Twenty.
fifth street persons on the boat saw
smoke and flames spring from the
upper part Of the crowded steamer. A
panic ensued on the boat almost i'm.
mediately. Crowds on the forward
deck began to spring overheard or to
rush to the after part Of the boat. The
screams of the terrified passengers
could be heard on shore, and hun.
dreds of small boats Immediately put
of to their rescue. Owing to rocks
on either side of tho channel at this
point 1t was impossible to reach the
vessel. The captain remained at his
post at the wheel and headed the YES.
sci straight up the river for North
Brother island, where she was put
aground in shallow water. Several
hundred feet of open water still lay
between the burning steamer and the
shore, and many persons perished
either I'm the water or on the burning
vessel after she had been beached.
II was estimated that the steamer
carried more than 1900 persons. She
was the largest excursion steamer in
these waters and could accommodate
1000 passengers.
The steamer whistle was blowing
for assistance as she came up the
river. Several hundred persons were
seen to jump into the water just be-
fore she headed for the North Broth.
ers island. Her position in the water
made II impossible for those aboard
20 reach land except by swimming.
An eye witness says he saw fifty or
100 persons, mostly women and chill.
dren jumped overheard. Most of the
throng were on tho hurricane deck
when that portion of 1t collapsed.
Many must have lost their lives in
the seething torrent Of flame and
water. The pastor of the church, the
Rev. George c. EphOss, was on board
with all his family and 1t is reported
that they were lost. The boat caught
fire In Hell Gate and the flames had
complete control before any move
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1904-06-23

could be made to check the f1re.
A frightful scene followed. II was
impossible to run the boat ashore be-
cause of the He'll Gate rocks on either
side. Nothing could be done in the
way Of launching. and as the flames
advanced the passengers began to
Jump overheard. Hundreds were in
the river. Many were rescued by the
tugs and other vessels, but hundreds
perished.
Several hundred bodies we're
washed ashore or towed or carried in
boats to Brothers Island. Almost
every other woman taken away was
calling for her child. The disaster
was witnessed by thousands of per-
sons on shore, and as rapidly as pos
sible hundreds of small boats and
launches set off to render assistance.
With the boat burning from under
his feet the catpain stuck to his post
in the pilot house and the engineer
remained at his post below until the
boat was beached.
Even the passengers who did not
jump overheard were not safe, for
they were some distance from the
shore, and the boat was a veritable
furnace.
The greatest loss of life was caused
by the collapsing of the heavy upper
deck. 1t fell with a crash, crush
ing hundreds who had gathered on
the lower deck. 1t was then the
greatest panic ensued. amid the living
stream Of persons going over the rail-
ing into the water. Patients in the
hospitals on the islands became al.
most insane from fright at the ter.
rible scenes they were compelled to
witness. A large part of the crowd
on the steamer were little children,
and there was little hope for them
after they went overheard. The cur.
rent was strong and the little ones
were rushed to their deaths by the
whirl pools In He'll Gate.
At least fifty children perished in
this manner.
After the rail gave way and the
passengers who had crowded against
1t were pushed into the river. moth
ers and children became separated
and frantically sought each other.
while in several cases fathers and
mothers gathering their children to-
gether, jumped with them into the
water. Little children, holding each
other by the hand. jumped together
and were found afterwards clasped In
