NO ONE FOUND TO BLAME
Naval Board Reports on New
Hampshire Disaster.
ENTIRELY AN ACCIDENT
A Remarkable Combination Of
Circumstances Said to Have
Caused the Loss of Life.
rFrom Tha Trhuns Rureau- ]

washington. Oct H.-The naval board OF
inquiry which Investigated the swampins
of the sailing laUrch Of the battleship Ne"
Hampshire in New York Harbor on the
night OF September 20 and the consequent
loss OF nearly thirty lives has sent IN its
report 10 the department. and it was made
public to-day No blame is attached 10 the
officers and crew Of the bsttieship- The
disaster was found to be entirely accidental
The following are the conclusions reached
by the board:
The board believes that the swanping OF
the sailing launch and the consequent loss
of life We're due TO remarkable conDlna-
ton OF circumstances. all contributing 20
the final disaster. Any one Of these cir
cUmstanCes, taken singly. does not appear
TO the board 10 have been responsible Any
could not OF itself have produced the result
1t seems TO the board that all extraordinary
circumstances must nave consptred fatally
to transform an ordinary routine matter
into a calamity.
These determining circumstances appear
10 have been:
The sailing launch was deeply loaded.

She was towed across a strong tide in a
sea generally confused rendered more so
by the wind and still more by the swell
Of at least one steam yacht Her bow

in liberty parties under similar conditions
they were ordered TO sit down, but only
partly Obeyed.
Some spray came on board, some men at
tempted TO move aft. and as more water
came on board irregular motions we're I'M
parted TO the launch by the movement OF
the men
In the death Of the bowman Of the sailing
launch the board lost a valuable witness
who alone knew what was happening This
man was calling for a knife 70 cut the
painter when water in quantity began com
Ing on board
Nevertheless. the board believes that UP
TO this point there was no danger, and
that if all hands had stuck TO the boat,
especially had sat down, she would not
have swamped-
It next appears to the board that a small
sized panic. due TO the entering water.
seized few. who jumped overheard: that
others followed. some mounting the gun
vale, and that this precipitated the dis
aSter.
The darkness contributed its share by
concealing from the towing steamer the
plight of the sailing launch. and thus rem
dertng impossible the application OF a
speedy remedy.
The strain on the tow line was az the
critical time too great or at too much of
an angle for the existing conditions
