FIVE SEAMEN DROWNED
BOAT FROM THE VIXEN ENCOUNT-
 FRS SQUALL.
Of Its Nine Occupants, Only Four Are Rescued-The Fatal Accident Follows Disobedience
 of Orders.

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. S.-(speciaL)- Five men were drowned from the swamping of small boat from the United States gunboat Vixen early this morning. The men were on their way to the navy yard from the city. when squall was encountered. There were nine men in the boat, but the cries of those struggling in the water attract ed attention of the watch officer on board the Vixen. lying half a mile away. A number of life boats were manned by sturdy seamen and started to the rescue of their comrades. Four of the nine men were rescued, while five went to the bottom. Their bodies have not been recovered. The tides were receding at the time and the opinion is that the men were carried to sea.
 The drowned were:
 Richard Lewis, assistant to chief ma chinist at the navy yard; residence, St. Louis Mo.
 Otto Brunz, chief water tender aboard the Vixen. 50 years of age; resi- dence. Washington, D. c. .z H. D. Hartley, first-class fireman

 Those rescued were c. Randall, car penter's mate, second class; residence Portsmouth. N. H.; R. J. Duggan coal passer; T. M. Dell, coal passer, and a civilian, who has not given his name. These men are alive today only by reason of the fact that the crews man. ming the life boats from the Vixen act ed quickly. After rescuing the four and conveying them to the Vixen for treatment. the boats returned to the scene where the boat had swamped and made a search for" the bodies. This was fruitless.
 An act of disobedience was the cause of the disastrous ending to an evening of otherwise pleasant enjoyment. The nine men secured. permission from the commanding officer of the Vixen to | make a trip to Santa Rosa Island for the purpose of taking a surf bath. In- stead of going to the island as had ! been permitted, they went to the city and arrived at Pensacola at a few mo-
 ments after o'clock. They left here | after II o'clock and at 12:30 o'clock | the boat was swamped.
 Officers of the Vixen were on shore
 this morning and came up to the city for the purpose of making arrange
 ments to search for the bodies of the | missing men. Small boats will patrol | the harbor while steam launches from | the Vixen and the gunboat Wasp will watch the gulf beach. Should anyone
 be cast up, 1t will be recovered, as the life saving crew at the Santa Rosa Island station are watching for the bodies,
 Investigating Explosion. Last night jury was empanneled by Judge Landrum for the purpose of making investigation of the causes of the explosion at the Stratton Ice Works. The jury was called together as soon as the body. of the fireman, Binghun, was recovered but there was nothing of an discriminating nature ad- duced. and the jury concluded that the explosion was due to unknown causes
 The engineer at the ice works was questioned at length, and he testified that he had left the fireroom but a few seconds when the explosion occurred The shock stunned him for a moment
 but he had presence of mind to shut off the ammonia flow. When he left the fireroom there were three guages of water in the boiler. which was at a safe height.
 Another man. who Is usually em- ployed at the ice works, was missing this morning and it is feared that he was In some part of the building and met death in the explosion. He was
 not working there that night, but was
 known to go around and talk with the
 men on duty at times, and since he has not been seen since the exposion. his
 relatives fear for his safety. The ,prin- cipal stockholders of the company are speeding on their way here and will
 probably be in the city Monday morn Ing. w.. $. Ware from Jacksonville
