Wednesday on the General Slocum.

one scarcely dare venture a guess, but
whatever the number may be, there

The police and health department
officials have placed the number as

of fatalities will not largely exceed

the life boats or get the life preserv-
ers out from under the seats. This,
perhaps. gives an idea of the rapidity
with which the flames swept the
decks.
OFFICERS PoWERLESS.
Through all the wild panic, during
all that inferno, with fire and smoke
surrounding them, the officers and
men of the doomed boat remained at
their posts, but they were powerless
to avert the catastrophe.
DECKS CAVE IN.
The Slocum got within 80 feet of
North Brother island, when she stop
ped in the shallow water IL was
Just before she beached that the hur-
ricane deck fell with its load of wo-
men and children, adding to the panic
and horror of those on the deck be
low. Very soon after parts of the
second and third decks also caved in.
BRAVE WORK OF TUG.
But before this happened the tug
Walter Tracey had come alongside
the burning steamer and was dashed
TO it. Many Of the passengers were
taken OF by the crew of the Tracey,
which remained alongside until the
tugs pilothouse took fire.
GREAT ROW OF BODIES.
The scene on the island was a pitt.
ful one. Body after body was washed
ashore or brought in by boats and
added to a long row on the beach.
Fffty-thre persons died while doctors
from hospitals on the island were at
tending them.
WAVES BRING IN DEAD.
For hours bodies burned and
drowned drifted ashore. Some came
ashore alive. Many of these died.
Others will recover.
HEART-BREAKING. SCENE.
The row of bodies was stretched
along the beach and hysterical women
and frantic men. went along looking at
one after another, searching for chill
dren and friends. Women with dis
figured faces, their clothes partially
stripped from them, were carried to
an improvised emergency hospital,
crying for children who had been torn
from them in the mad rush when the
boat took fire.
WATER BLACK WITH BODIES.
Meanwhile the Slocum burned to
the waters edge and sank. 1t is es-
timated there were then nearly 100
charred bodies on her decks. Just
after the steamer sank the water
near by was black with bodies. The
tug Fidelity picked up IS charred
corpses in Hunts cove off Riker's ISL
and and carried them into the sound.
None of these, it is thought, can ever
be identified.
NO WATER AVAILABLE.
Peter J. Tremble, a deck hand, tell
ing his experience, says that as soon
as the fire started he and the engineer
stretched a hose but could get no wat
er. The fire drove them away and
he distributed a number of life pre-
servers among the women and chill
dren. He jumped overheard with
two children but the current tore
them away from him. He then
climbed up in a paddle box.
WATER A PERFECT HE'LL.
The water beneath me-" says Mr..
Tremble, was a perfect he'll. Men
and women were clawing at my legs

Watch for Bodies All Day.


All day long, from sunrise until
darkness shut off even the melancholy
satisfaction of looking for the dead,
anxious searchers kept up their con-
slant vigilance and at dusk there had
been recovered $50 bodies, for the
great part of women and children
mothers who weeks ago had planned
that fatal outing for their children,
little ones who had lOnged for the
coming of the happy day.
More Than 800 Identified.
I'D to dusk 400 bodies had passed
through the mOrgue and of these
more than 500 were identified. Down
by the river, where the boats unlOaded
their dead, thousands gathered
throughout the day. The streets
leading to the morgue were blocked
and only with difficulty could the pO-
lice keep clear the passages leading
to the long rows of collins, for those
who came TO search for the missing.
Little Ones Died Together.
I'm the sound, where the hulk of the
SiucLn lies submerged, scores OF
small craft aided tugs in graphing
for the victims. Divers went down
time and time again, and when theif
work ended for the day, they de-
Clared there were no more bodies in
the wreck. A score of times a diver
reappeared after his plunge with the
body of a woman or child. Two Of
them coming to the surface together
on one occasion had in their arms two
little -sisters-clasped in each
others embrace, and their mother, lt
was thought, whose dead hand tightly
clenched the skirt of one of them.
AS far as in their power the divers
searched the wreck from stem to
stern but there were masses Of broken
timbers through which it was almost
impossible to explore, and it may be
that some will find a grave under
those sunken timbers until the hulk
is raised or the water of the sound
has washed away the last trace of the
wreckage.
Many Missing Found Safe.
It is believed that many now report
ed missing are safe and eventually
will be heard from by officials who
have the rescue work in hand Last
night surprising number of persons
reported to these officials that they
had been saved, thus cutting the list
of missing down considerably as well
as the probable mortality list.
did not Launch Life Rats.
There is open criticism OF the fail
ure of the Slocum's officers and crew to
meet the emergency, Capt Van Schaick
and the two pilots are under arrest, but
are held only as Witnesses. That
there was terrible failure to meet the
responsibility is undoubted. No effort.
as far as can be learned, was made to
launch the life RATS and boats and no
attempt made toward equipping the
helpless women and children with life
preserVers. But few of those rescued

them" He was subsequently res
cured by a rowboat.
NO ATTEMPT AT RESCUE.
Fred Hoffman, a fireman, and one
of the excursiOnists, was brought
ashore. unnerved and hysterical. At
first ali that could be got from him
was that he had lost his mother and
sister-in-law, his brothers two chill
dren and a young woman with him.
After telling of the fire and panic, he
said the tugs were trying to pUt out
the fire and he saw no attempt to
take off the people.
DAsTARDLY DEED.
Miss Martha Weirk says that while
she was truggling in the water boat
pulled up alongside her and she was
stripped of her rings, earrings.
brooch and then pushed back into the
water. She was rescued later in an
unconscious condition by another boat
and taken to the island.
RIOT OF RELATIVES.
At the entrance to the pier at the
foot of East 26th street a crowd tried
to push past the police and a riot re-
suited. At the height of the trouble
a man who had learned that his wife
was among the charred dead tried to
stab himself.
SCORES SINK ONE BY ONE.
The body of Mrs. Anna Haas, wife
of the pastor of st. Marks, was iden-
titled at the morgue. Dr. Haas is
among the rescued. He, WITH his
wife and daughter, got outside the
rail of the Slocum before the steamer
beached. He cannot say whether
they jumped or fell or were pushed
into the water. He sank and when
he rose he found scores about him
fighting for life. He failed to find
his wife and daughter The men on
one of the tugs picked him up. OF
the scores he saw about him when he
rose, one by one sank

futile.
MAKE FOR ISLAND.
Captain VanSchaick decided TO send
the vessel ashore at bath street, but
the attempt to land there, it was seen,
would add TO the peril of those aboard
because OF the lumber yards and huge
oil tanks ashore. The steamers
course was changed and she headed for
North Brother island, half a mile away.
BY this time flames were rushing from
the forward part of the ship aft.
Fire Sweeps Decks.
The great open decks. built for eX-
cursionists, with little obstruction from
bow TO stern. offered a clear sweep for
the fire.
The excursionists, but a few mo
ments before in the full enjoyment OF
an ideal summers day on Long Island
sound. were driven TO the after part OF
the steamer to escape the heat, flames
and smoke that were constantly in
creasing. Policemen and deck hands
aboard the boat struggled to quiet the
panic, but their efforts were vain.
WILD PANIC or DEATH.
The wild disorder increased, as
frantic mothers sought their children,
who had been at play about the
decks. The first sweep of the flames
cut of escape from the hurricane
deck. where a great many women and
children were crowded together, and
soon burned away the light wooden
uprights which came down with a
crash on those below. II is thought
that most of those Oh the hurricane
deck were burned.
STREAM OF HUMAN SACRIFICE.
As the fire increased the struggle TO
gain the point Of vantage at the stern
became frightful. Women and chill
dren crowded against the after rail
until il gave way and hundreds were
pushed of into the river. After this
there was a steady stream of persons
who jumped or were thrown into the
water.
BOATS RESCUE SOME.
Tugs and other vessels came TO the
rescue. The boats rescued all they
could reach but many persons strug-
sled and sank before help couid reach
them. In the wake Of the Slocum as
she hurried up the stream was a line
