VAN SCHAICK
ON THE STAND
Disabled Captain Of SIocum
Tells His Story.
LIFE PRESEAvERS WERE ROTTEN
United States Inspectors Neglected
Their Outy-Made No Test of
Fire Protection.

FREMONT, y. Y. June 2S.-The
last material witness in the SIocum
inquest, Captain Van Schaick. was
wheeled into court on an invalid chair
this morning under the care of two
surgeons. The aged officer looked
haggard and worn. He stated that he
had been a steamboat man for 40
years. holding a masters license for
30. He declared he had nothing to do
with purchasing equipment for the
SlOcum when it was first placed in
commission. Since 1891 he admitted
that he had had general supervision
of the boat. He confirmed the state
ments of other witnesses that no new
life preservers had been purchased for
the Slocum since 1895. From time to
time he had rejected from 100 to 200
preservers. So far as he knew none
of the officials of the company had ever
inspected the life saving and fire fight
ing apparatus. Regarding the inspec-
ton by United States inspectors the
captain said that but few preservers
were taken from the racks. No water
test was made. Lunderburg did not.
test the stand pipes. There had been
three or four fire drills and water had
been run through the stand pipes.
This testimony is in direCt opposition
to that of other members of the crew.
who said there had been no fire drills
this year.
This afternoon the captain gave q
graphic account of his attempt to-
beach the boat, asserting that he did
the best he could in the emergency.
