to the rear of the vessel and hundreds
jumped oveboard iuto the swiftly run
ming waters. 1t is alleged that the life
peservers were too securely fastened
to their holdings to be available and
stories are told OF frantic efforts msds
by strong men to out them loose; but
even If they could have been torn
down they were too high up for the
children to reach. tits also alleged
that no attempt was made to get out
the fire apparatus at the first CRY of
fire." though Captain Van Schaik
says that he Immediately rang the
bells for getting out the apparatus.
According to several statements no
attempt was made to lower boats or
life RATS.
The race to North Brothers Island
was horribly dramatic. 1t was made
while the flames, which had been
famed into fury by the strong head
wind, were consuming hundreds Of
persons, old and young. The scene
was one of frightful panic, with
women and children jumping over
board and being dashed by the chan
mel whirlpools against the vessels
sides. Women and children were
crowded together on the hurricane
deck, which soon burned aw ay ani
fell and il lie 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.
Mot hers and children became separat-
cd and frsntioally sought each other,
while in several cases fathers and
mo theirs gathering their children to-
gether jumped with them into the
water. Little children holding each
other by the hand jumped together,
and were afterwards found olasped In
each others arms. IL 10 alleged that
men fought with women to escape,
resulting in the trsmpling under foot
Of SCORES OF children.
In the wake of the Slocum Is she
hurried up stream was line of little
black spots, marking the heads and
bodies of those who had sought to es-
cape the roaring furnace on the ship
by throwing themselves overheard.
Few of those saved by the small
boats had on life preservers. At NO
time during the progress Of the IRE
was there IN opportunity either to
lower the ifeboats or get the life pre-
servers cut from underneath the
seats. This, perhaps. gives IN idea
of the rapidity with which the flames
swept the decks.
IL was an experience narrowing AID
terrible and that any escaped alive
seems wonderful.
Through all the wild panic, during
AL tuub iuiotuos WIN uAo ouu oAuoAc
surrounding them, the officers and
men of the doomed boat remained ct
their posts, but they were powerless
to avert the catastrophe.
Many Of those who leaped from the
Slocum were carried away BY the cur
rent, eyen after she was beaohed and
were drowned. The scene on North
Brothers Island. - described by the
rsscuers, was . pitiful one. Body
after body was washed ashore or
brought in by boats and added 10 the
long row on the beach. Fifty three
persons died while the doctors were
l..t< tko,x.

carried him into the house. His shoes
and stockings we're removed and 1t
was found that both feet and legs,
the latter we'll up toward the knees,
were frozen. Knowing that to permit
the heat of the room to thaw them out
would probably result in modification
following, they placed him in a chair
and immersed his feet and legs in
cold water, in which they were kept
for fully five hours. At the end OF
that time the frost had left them and
preparations were made to bring MI.
Bradshaw to Billings. He was placed
in a wagon and hauled to Terry. Here
a long wait was necessary, as the
westbound train was several hours
behind time. At last it arrived and
poor Bradshaw was put on board, ar
irving. here between 4 and 5 O'Clock
Saturday morning, more than 36 hours
after having broken his leg and a
night of torture and terror on the
bleak prairie, with death his constant
companion.
Heavy mittens that he wore had
protected his hands from freezing
and from being cut Dy the hard
ground. Aside from being stin and
sore they were but little injured.
+ Saved His Legs.
The attending physician found that
the leg was fractured about midway
between the. ankle and knee. AT
first it was feared that amputation
| of both legs wound be necessary, but
later it developed this would not have
to be done. The doctor said, however.
that had it not been for Une course
pursued with the injured mar aftel
he reached the ranch nothing could
have saved the limbs, as the flesh
would have mortified and to save the
mans life it would have been i'm
perative to take them of.
