Thorwegen, the owner and master of
the Providence, is one of the Oldest
men in point of service on the river,
and has a reputation for surround
ing himself with a good and safe
crew. The findings of the coroner's
jury and the United States steam
boat inspectors generating the crew
from any blame was what river peo-
pie familiar with the safe landing OF
the big steamer and the care that is
taken to prevent accidents had pre-
dicted. Capt. Austin Joyce. assist
ant TO Captain Thorwegen. who was
in charge of the steamer the night
Of the accident, is old in the service
and is one of the most careful Off
GERS on the river. Steamboatmen
who are rivals of Captain Thorwegen
for trade said yesterday that all dur
ing his career he has spent money |
literally and exercised the utmost
care to insure the safety of people
who board his boats.
