The General Slocum was built in 1891
by Divine Burtis, tr.. in Brooklyn. She
was constructed for the Knickerbocker
Steamboat Company. and at that time
was one of the handsomest and most
perfectly equipped excursion steamers
Ia this port.
She was launched April Is. 1891, and
as soon as completed was used for sum-
mer excursions by churches, Sunday
schools, and various societies, and when
not chartered for those purposes ran as
Il public excursion boat She was built
chiefly of white oak. locust. and yellow
pine.
Description of the Boat.
Her dimensions were 2S5 feet on the
water line and go feet on deck, 20 feet
beam on deck. and she drew about 1
feet of water. She had three decks.
also built of wood. which extended the
entire length Of the vessel.
The pilot house was on the hurricane
deck. and on this deck were the life
boats and RATS, the boats being hung
on davits cupboard. and the RATS lying
on the deck outside the rail. On the
deck below this was large cabin, and
on the main deck were the offices OF the
purser and those In charge OF the
steamer.
Eighteen Miles an Hour.
She had two smo<estacks, well for
ward and abreast of each other. Her
maximum speed was about eighteen
miles an hour.
The General Slocum was thoroughly
overhauled this year before going in
commission. and was inspected as re-
quired by law. Inspector Henry Lund-

SEEKERS FEAR TO TRUST
WORD OF ATTENDANTS

The officers and doctors at the hos
pital were rushed 10 keep pace with the
inquirers and those who insisted that
perhaps the list at the desk was not
complete and insisted on being taken
through the wards. For two or three
hours, when the ambulance and the
wagons were bringing I'm the patients
faster than they could be taken to
wards, many Of those who were taken
from the steamer unhurt met friends
at the hospital and departed without
being registered.
Miss Daub constituted herself as chill
dren's guardian, and she soon had the
description OF each one at her tongue
end, ready for the inquiring parent
when he or she came in. II was not
until there was lull in the actual work
OF ministering 10 the wounded that II
became possible TO make up an accurate
list OF those then in the hospital.

Down on the ground floor Of the hos

were that they wanted mamma and

Every hour saw the number of chill

child away. But late last night there
were still nearly a score OF little ones

TWO TRAGEDIES

MedOra Explosion.

BOTH EXCURSION ACCIDENTS

BALTIMORE, June 16.-The burning
of the excursion boat near New York
and it's astounding loss Of life, recalls
two notable tragedies in Baltimore Har-
Dor. each Of which plunged the city into
mourning.
Shortly after o'clock Cn Monday
night, July %. 1883. a memorable excur-
sion disaster occurred at TIyon, form
erly Holly Grove. on the Patapsco River,
fifteen miles below the city OF Baltimore,
by which Sc persons lost their lives. or
the victims "a were women, % children,
and men.
The excursion was given under the
auspices Of the Mount Royal Beneficial
Society. The participants included many
members OF the Catholic congregation
Of the Church of Corpus Christi and
friends from other parishes and reli-
gious denominations. In this way the
calamity carried mourning INTO nearly
every part OF the community. All the
evidence ascribed the cause Of the dis
aster 70 rotten wharf or pier. which
was broken down by the weight OF the
crowd and the movement OF people on
the pier, naturally anxious after a day
or pleasure to get on board the steam
boat approaching to return them TO their
homes in the city.
Two Hundred on the Wharf.
1t was estimated that between 200 and
$50 people were on the wharf waiting
for the locked gates to be opened and
admit them to the boat. when the crash
came and they were precipltated into
the water along with the broken tim
bers.
On April Is. 1912. the steamboat Me-
dora blew up In the harbor just as It
was about TO start on its trial trip down
the river. In this accident twenty-seven
were killed, forty wounded. and only
fifteen on board ESCAPED without injury.
The vessel belonged to the Baltimore
Steam Packet Company, and was new.
Officers OF the company and their friends
to the number OF eighty-tWo. went
aboard to participate IN the initial trip
As the signal was given to start the
boiler burst in the hold, blowing the
ship to fragments and imperiling all on
board.
The following Sunday funerals OF the
victims were held. a verttable day OF
mourning for the Monumental City.
