Passengers Went Mad
As Mght of Terror WGned

either fall or jump from this boat.
Captain Barr believes that many OF
the 1876 were drowned after being
thrown from this boat by the rolling
and pitching of the Volturno.
As one of the vessels reached a
point opposite the Volturno a life
raft was launched in the hope that
II would drift close to the stern of the
vessel and thus enable any of those
who might be in the water to get
another chance OF being rescued.
Delight Follows Despair.
Hope and despair alternated in the
breasts of the passengers gathered on
the deck of the Nolturno as the night
wore on. When one Of the circling
ships would bear a little closer to-
ward the burning ship, probably borne
that way by the gale, the terrOrized
passengers would set up yell of de-
light, but this would be followed by
wall of despair as the vessel would
continue in the circle and move away
from the Volturno.
In the early hours Of the night
many prayers were said on board the
Volturno, but as the hours passed and
the situation became horrible, the
majority of those on the Volturno
seemed to lose their reason and be-
come transfixed.
For long spaces of time groups
could be seen standing close to the
rail with scores of others pressed
close behind them. All would appar-
emily be gazing at one or the other
of the circling vessels, then for some
unknown reason there would come
before the burning deck a cry of
agony and despair that chilled the
blood of the onlookers.
Then the passengers in their fran
tic despair would hold out their
hands to the slowly passing vessels,
apparently begging to be taken off
and unable to realize why. with help
near. they should be made to stand on
the blistering decks OK leap into the
water without any semblance of a
chance of being saved.

over which the women and children
were huddled.
To those watching the tragic spec
tacle IL seemed that the storm began
10 die down Immediately after the
explosion. A few minutes later the
first rays OF dawn shot across the
water and it could then be seen that
the fire had gone down considerably,
owing to its having practically burnt
Itself out
1t was then that the fight to re-
move the passengers began. il was
also then that the great value of the
Narragansett dawned upon the cap
tains. A few seconds later the pumps
on the oil steamer were working and
streams Of oil were being poured out
over the water With the battle
line" still preserved, the Narragan-
sett circled the Volturno and as the
oil spread over the surface of the sea
IL seemed to materially calm IT,.
When the effects of the oil werd
noticeable and it was apparent that
the gale had spent itself the lifeboats
from the rescue fleet were launched
and the work OF removing the terror
stricken passengers began in earnest.
Captain Inch had dashed himself to
the mast OF the Volturno and direct
ed the order of leaving the vessel.
The general rule of the sea. women
and children first" was obeyed in the
strictest sense There we're a large
number of women and children
among the passengers. most of whom
had embarked In the steerage. When
these had been landed safely on one
or the other OF the vessels the men
and members OF the crew began to
leave Captain Inch was the last man
to leave the ship.
As the young captain slid down the
rope to the waiting boat he took one
last look over his vessel as If in the
hope of seeing some chance to save
her. But to those who had been the
last to leave II was apparent that 1t
was only a matter of hours before
the Volturno would sink.

CW|NNS IN RACE
FOR DIVORCE As
ROMANCE DIES
Bride, Who Eloped on Wedding
Day, Declares She Has Never
Loved Husband.

Another race-this time a handicap
race for the divorce courts-was
started Saturday nightin the Gwinn
Bagwell romance when Mrs. Jessie
Gwinn. the six-day bride of John
H. Gwinn, of No. Luckie street.
gave notice that she also woula enter
suit for divorce
Mrs. Gwinn declared she would
beat her husband to the divorce court
despite the fact that he had a ten
woman's father. it was stated, was
looking for attorneys Saturday night
to handle the case.
Mrs. Gwinn, when seen Saturday
night, denied in vigorous terms the
charge Of her young husband that
she had kissed Bagwell, the rival
lover. on a neighbours porch early Fri
day morning. She also declared with
emphasis that she never had loved
Gwinn and that she had only mar
ried him as result of being persuad-
ed into it by him and his friends.
Il don't love John, never did, and
quit him of my own accord" was the
way the young woman put it.
Il was not kidnapped, as he charges,
and ! did not kiss Mr.. Bagwell, al
though l admit he was present with
me in the house Friday morning"
When asked if she would return to
young Bagwell in case she obtained
a divorce from Gwinn, Mrs. Gwinn
replied that she didn't know, that it
was "a little too early for that"

Tenn. Legislature
To Take Up Dry Laws
Assembly Is Called Together In EN-
ira Session for Second
Time in Year.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. IL
When the Tennessee Legislature con-
venes. here in special session Monday
it will be the third time this year that
the members of that body have gath
cred in the legislative halls of the
Capitol Incidentally it will be the
first time in 80 years that two special
sessions of the General Assembly
have been held within a twelve
month.
Interest in the deliberations Of the
coming session is especially keen on
account of the fact that a determined
fight is expected on the so-called
law enforcement bills intended to
make more effective the present pro-
hibition laws. Through the efforts OF
regular" Democrats a vote upon
these measures at the special session
which closed September p was pre-
vented
