ONE MORE DEAD
ON LARCHMONT
Captain Of the Steamer Says the
Ship Changed Course Harley
Says Liner Ran Them Down.

NEW LONDON, Conn. Feb. 16.-
While Captain McVey of the Larch-
mont has yet TO give an official YER
sion of his story of the collision be-
tween his vessel and the schooner Har-
ry Knowlton off Block island, the tes-
timony of Captain Haley of the schoon-
er and his crew, taken before the To-
cal government steamboat inspectors,
seems to show that the burden of ex-
PLANTATION lies with the Larchmont.
James Vann of Fayetteville, n. c.,
colored steward of the Larchmont, died
last night of pneumonia at the East
Side hospital, where he was taken with
several other survivors of the wreck
on Wednesday night This leaves only
seventeen whose lives We're saved from
the wreck.
The lighthouse tender Cactus has
brought in the mainmast of the steam
er Larchmont. 1t was broken off six
ty feet below its top, evidently by some
passing steamer or large craft, which
had snapped about dozen thick wire
guy ropes and an inch iron bolt. A
portion Of the gaff and some of the
castings of the mast were attached to
it. The Cactus returned this morning
to hunt for the sunken steamer.
The Identification of the seventy-six
bodies that have been recovered has so
far progressed that only eight remain
ed unclaimed at the morgue. A few
days more will be allowed for identi-
fication. and then the unknown dead
will be buried by the city. At the gov
eminent inquiry those on the schooner
claimed that they held their course
straight down the sound and that the
steamer tried to cut across the bow of
their boat. Captain McVey and his
quartermaster declare that the schoon-
er altered her course and luffed into
their vessel The controversy is like
ly TO continue for some time.
Captain Withey and Captain Stew
art. before whom the hearing was held,
seemed impressed with the frankness
and directness with which Captain Ha-
ley and his men testified. They told
the story clearly and could not be
lIiDDCu UP Oli ihC Iiutt
and two sailors told practically the
same story as the captain. All four
have spent their lives at sea.
They were all agreed that the Larch.
mont changed her course and that that
fact alone was responsible for the col
lision. The schooner as a sailing ves-
sci had the right of way, according to
the laws. of navigation. and it was the
business of the steam vessel TO look
ont for her.
According TO the testimony the
Larchmont was one-eighth to "A quar-
ter of mile away when she changed
her course.
Previously the green. or starboard.
light of the steamboat had shown over
the starboard quarter of the schooner.
These relative positions had been main
tanned by the two vessels for twenty
minutes. The schooner was headed
east by north and was travelling at
the rate of about seven knots. Sud
denly as the Larchmont drew nearer,
going at full speed, the green light dis
appeared. and the red, or port, light
came into view, showing that the
steamboat had changed her course and
was trying to cross the schooner's bow.
A few minutes later the crash came.
