PASSENGERS SAVED
BY OTHER BOATS

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Grand Rapids, Mich, May 21.-The
steamer Naomi, of the Crosby Trans
portation company. burned to the
waters edge at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing, while on her way from Grand
Haven to Milwaukee. Fifty passen-
gers we're taken off by the steamer
Stratford and transferred to the
steamer Kansas Of the Crosby line.
Four members of the crew were
burned to death. Among the injured
is j. NJ. Rhodes, of Detroit, who is in
the Grand Rapids hospital badly
burned.
The loss on the Naomi, which was
in command Of Capt. Thomas Traill, is
estimated at $225,OOO. After the pas
sengers and crew were rescued, a
barge which had been attracted to the
scene by the fire, put line on the
burning hulk and is now towing her
into port. She is about ten miles out
side the piers at present.
The fire started in the vicinity of
the kitchen, between docks, and
spread SO rapidly that the whole ship
was seething furnace before the
crew could get the fire apparatus
working. The fire swept the whole
Length Of the ship and the upper
works burned like tinder. It is con-
sidered miraculous that the passen-
gers all escaped. Many of them were
taken off in their night clothes while
scarcely any one was more than
partially clad.
The fire was not discovered by any
of the Naomi's crew but was first seen
by the lookout on the steamer Kan
sas which was proceeding in an op-
posite direction from Milwaukee to
Grand Haven. The Kansas made di-
rectly for the Naomi, and in the
meantime, the passengers of the ILL
fated boat were being awakened. Four
coal passers who perished, were be-
low in their hunks and are believed
to have been penned down there by
the flames. It is said by passengers
that the screams of the dying men in
the hold were heard, but that it was
impossible to reach them.
Among the rescued passengers are
the following: James Avery, Tulaire,
8. D., William Sherwood, Fargo, N.
D., and John Rogers, Minneapolis.
The burned bodies of the four miss
ing coal passers were found in the
forecastle of the Naomi when the
hulk was boarded here. They had not
been able to make their way. to the
ballast tank. Their names are: Cor
don, Miner, Stanton, and an unknown.
There is possibility that a fifth body
may be found in the hold. The bodies
will be buried in Grand Haven this
afternoon.
