BLOCK ISLAND. r. l., Feb. 12--
At least fourteen lives were lost and
it is feared many others were either
drowned or frozen to death as the
result of the 10y Line steamer. Larch-
mont's sinking in Block Island Sound
early today, after a collision with
the three-masted schooner, Harry
Knowlton.
Many Bodies Wished Ashore.
Several boats came ashore from
the scene of the dreck during the
forenoon and many bodies were
washed ashore on Block Island.
The Larchmont sailed from Provi-
dence for New York last night with
about $50 passengers aboard, and a
crew of thirty. The Larchmont COL
lided with the Knowlton of Quono-
chontaug about midnight, cutting of
the schooner's bow. The steamer
was SO badly damaged that she ran
for Block Island. but before she
could reach the island she sank.
The Knowlton was run around to
West Quonochontaug and the crew
reached shore in safety.
Cause is Unknown.
The cause OF the collision is not
know, the night was clear and there
was strong southwest wind and the
sea was rough. The temperature
was at about zero.
The Knowlton halls from East
port. Me-. and had a cargo of coal.
Two Hundred Drown.
Captain George Mcvey, OF the
steamer Larchmont said he had on
board between $50 and 200 passen-
gers when the collision occurred and
only eight Of these escaped with
their lives At the time he made
this statement eighteen bodies had
washed ashore with the eight sur
vivors of the accident being cared
for on the island.
Many Frozen to Death.
The passengers met death in var
ious ways. Some of them attempted
to launch life boats and we're frozen
to death on deck of the laundering
steamer. while others drowned in an
attempt to escape before the vessel
i
went down. Still others who were
successful in launching life boats
were frozen to death before their
small craft reached shore.
Inhabitants of all parts of the ISL
and are on the scene to assist in the
rescue work. A gale continues and
it is still bitterly cold.
