FISHGUARD, Eng, Oct. 13.-All
the passengers of the steamship Vol
turno could have been saved but for
the cowardice of her crew, That more
than 500 persons, mostly passengers,
were saved, was due alone to the hero
ic behavior of the Volturnos COM
maner, Captain Thomas Inch. These
facts were confirmed here this after
noon on the arrival Of the Carmania,
the first ship to pick up the Volturno's
S. O. S. call and rush to her assist
ance The Carmania was delayed sew
eral hours because of a storm.
The charge of Walter Trintepohl,
steerage passenger, who was picked
up by the Carmania, that members OF
the crew fought for places in the life
boats until Captain Inch drew his re-
vOlver was borne out by other facts.
! twenty-five members of the crew or
ninety-three were saved. Thus OF
those who perished, sixty-eight were
seamen. According to Trintepohl, six
sailors were killed while fighting the
flames. The rest died as a result of
their own cowardice. Most of the men
were Germans and Belgians.
Crew is Panic Stricken.
| When they saw the ship was doom
ed they became panic stricken. After
Captain Inch had given orders to low

officers to see that women and child
, ren were cared for first, the cowardly
seamen made a dash for the boats

when Captain Inch finally left the
