STORY FROM sLocUM's OWNERS.
Say She Was Amply Equipped and
Well Handled.

The General Slocum had not finished
burning before the news Of the disaster
had reached the offices of her owners the
KEickerbOcker Steamboat Company, on the
third floor of the building at 149 Broadway.
Five men were at once dispatched under
the direction of James X. Atkinson, the
secretary and general passenger agent of
the company, to give what assistance they
could and to get full report of the matter
for the company.
1--WE do not feel that our employees are
responsible for the disaster" said President
Barnaby of the company, since their dis
cipline was perfect, and one minute after
the fire started every man was at his post.
We have frequent fire and boat drill
aboard. and each man acted as he had been
Instructed There were two policemen
aboard, who also, l understand, stood by.
THE fire, l learn. started right up in the
bow. Some one had placed bunch of ba-
Eanas there, and had covered 1t with dry
meadow grass. AS soon the blaze was
discovered in it the hose was stretched, and
within a minute the water was started.
All that was necessary to start the stream
was for the engineer to pull lever.
