The Terrible slocum Disaster.

The awful accident in which the lives
of about a thousand persons, mostly
women and children. were lost by the
destruction OF the steamer Gen. Slocum
near the entrance to Long Island Sound
last week Wednesday grows as time goes
on. II was at first supposed that not
more than 500 at the outset were lost, but
day by day the recovery of bodies has con-
tinued until up to yesterday a total %
S45 had been brought ashore. OF these
100 have been Identified, and the missing
still number about 300.
The coroner's inquiry concerning the
responsibility for the accident is pro-
ceeding. 1t has been brought out that
the fire hose aboard was cheap and de-
fective, and that there had been no fire
drills TO acquaint the crew with their
duties in such an emergency. The gov
ernment officer who inspected the life
preservers declines TO answer questions.
The life preservers were altogether use
less.
The Gen. Slocum was taking a load Of
children and their mothers from a Ger
man Lutheran church OF New York to
Sunday school picnic in the Sound.
While passing up the East River near the
Sunken Meadows fire was discovered in
the lunch room. An attempt was made
to extinguish il by the crew, but il spread
rapidly. The captain delayed running
ashore, either hoping the fire would be
put out or fearing that he would endanger
property near the wharfs, or that he could
not land hIs passengers in safety, and
steered on for North Brother island, over
a mile ahead. Before he reached there
the ship was a mass Of flames, and amid
narrowing scenes hundreds of women
and children bad been either burned to
death or had jumped into the water and
been drowned. The boat was finally
beached and those surviving made their
way ashore, including the captain and
pilots, all badly burned. Many brave
rescues were made. The work Of re-
covering the dead began at once and has
since continued.
