the fire was futile.
At One Hundred and Thirty-fourth

Leap Overheard.
In the meantime the passengers had
become panic stricken, and those who
were not caught up by the flames rushed
to the rear of the vessel, and hundreds
jumped overheard into the swiftly run
ming waters. 1t is alleged that the life
preservers were too securely fastened
to their holdings to be available, and
stories are told of frantic efforts made
by strong men to cut them loose; but
even if they could have>been torn down
they were too high up for the children
to reach.
An Awful Race.
The race to North Brother island was
horribly dramatic. 1t was made while
the flames, which had been famed into
fury by the strong head wind, were con-
Stunning hundreds of persons, old and
young. The scene was one of frightful
panic, with women and children jumping
overheard and being dashed by the chan
mel whirlpools against the vessels sides.
Women and children were crowded to-
gether on the hurricane deck which soon
burned away and fell, and it is believed
that most of those on this deck were
burned. The after rail gave way and the
passengers who had crowded against it
were pushed into the river Mothers and
children became separated and frantic
ally sought each other, while in several
cases fathers and mothers gathering
their children together jumped with them
into the water. Little children, hold
ing each other by the hand, jumped to-
gether and were afterward found clasped
in each others arms. 1t is alleged that
men fought with women to escape, re-
sulting in the trampling under foot of
scores of children.
Meanwhile the Slocum burned to the
waters edge. At :25 o'clock, two hours
and Is minutes after the fire was first
discovered, she sank. 1t is estimated
that there were then nearly 100 charred
bodies on her decks. Just after the
steamer sank the water nearby was
black with bodies. The tug Fidelity sue
ceeded in picking up SO charred corpses
in Hunts cove off Ricker's island and
carried them into the sound. None OF
these bodies, it is thought can ever be
identified. Heads, legs and arms are
burned off and not shred of clothing is
left on any of them.
