fire had reached the boilers and the
engine room and had put the pumps
and dynamos out Of action.
A few minutes later cries for help
were heard rising from the water near
the Carmania, and then a man who
proved TO be a steerage passenger Of
the Volturno, wearing a lifebelt. was
seen by means Of the searchllgnt
short distance away. tossed about by
the sea. He was rescued, but only
after one Of the sailors OF the Car
mania had been lowered into the water
with a lifeline, which he placed around
the waist Of the exhausted floating
man.
Other cries were heard, but these
gradually died away, and no further
bodies or swimming people were seen.
About midnight ray Of hope came,
for it was seen that the flames were
not making much Roadway aft of the
engine room or the after bulkhead of
the Volturno.
BY daybreak the Volturno was still
floating with her great human cargo
huddled in masses on her poop deck.
The sea had moderated considerably
and fiotilla Of boats gathered round
the stern Of the Volturno.
The emigrants on board the Volturno
were composed of Russians. Dalma-
tians, Poles and few Germans. Most
OF them were bound for Canada.
II is pointed out as a remarkable CO.
incidence that the Volturno about four
| years ago made a notable rescue in
great storm in mid-Atlantic Of the
crew of French vessel. Captain Har-
rison, who then commanded the Vol
turno, was decorated by the French
government for his daring act.

RESCUE CAPTAIN REPORTS
Tells How the Grosser Kurfurst
Saved 105 Persons.

Bremen. Oct. 1.-The captain OF the
Grosser Kurfurst In his wireless report
to-day of the disaster to the Volturno
says
I'VE received the appeals for help
from the Volturno on Thursday al 4
in latitude 1880 north, longitude 35:06
west When we arrived near the Vol
turno we found her completely on fire.
The fire apparently had arised from a
violent explosion in the forward part of
the vessel, and this explosion had killed
a number of passengers and sailors.
Eleven steamers gathered in the
neighborhood Of the disaster, which
took place during a violent storm blow
ing from the northwest. with the sea
breaking high.
1.-TWO Of the boats of the Grosser
Kurfurst were lowered and kept at
work during the whole night, from 8
o'clock in the evening till quarter past
3 In the morning. 1t was almost

wreck. and the rescue Of those on board
the Volturno was possible only when
they jumped overheard.
"a boat was lowered from the Vol
turno with five men who were saved.
but the boat sank Immediately after
ward.
1.-THE total OF those rescued from the
burning ship was 523, and Of these Sc
passengers. two ships officers, one en-
gineer and 10 sailors, making a total of
105, were taken on board the Grosser
Kurfurst.
1.-TWO full boat loads from the Vol
turno are still being sought for, but it
is improbable that they will be found.
"One hundred persons from the Vol
turno are missing. The Carmania and
La Touraine are searching in the vicin
ity Of the scene Of the disaster, where
the wreck is dangerous to navigation.
The shipwrecked passengers and
crew on board the Grosser Kurfirst are
being well cared for and have been pro-
vided with proper accommodations.
We are proceeding"

LINER FIRE WELL FOUGHT,
SAYS DISTRICT INSPECTOR
Dispatches Show the Volturno' 8
Grew Brave and Efficient,
Thinks Captain Seeley.

CAPTAIN Henry NJ Seeley. supervising
inspector OF the Steamboat Inspection
Service for the I'd District. after readins
the early wireless messages describing
the Volturno disaster. said the officers
and crew must have made brave iigh'
TO keep the fire under control. In such 8
gale as described. long enough for the
other ships TO rescue more than five hun
dred persons.
That fact alone. II seems to me" said
Captain Seeey, "is pretty good indica-
ton that the vessel was we'll equipped
with fire apparatus. Under the laws gov
erning our Steamboat Inspection Service
Section No. 4470 OF the Revised Statutes
provides that every steamship carrying
passengers and freight shall be provided
with suitable pipes and valves attached
TO the boiler TO convey steam into the
hold, and to the different compartments
of the hold, TO extinguish fire. also the
introduction through pipes of carbonic
acid gas or other fire extinguishing gas
or vapor.
Since the Titanic disaster both the
British and American rules as to fire APP

life preservers to be carried ana the ell
cheney or crews in boat and nre drills
have been amplihed. and as we accept
the British system OF inspection here
have no doubt the. Volturno was equipped
with the steam pipe system.
There are some fires. however that
water will not put out. such as are caused
by chemicals. which may have been

Continuing, Captain Seeley said; Few
persons who have not followed the sea
realize the great difficulties encountered
In fighting fire. especially In such gale
and sea as II is evident the Volturnos
crew encountered. They had the double
burden OF fighting the fire and saving the
passengers. II it is a difficult problem to
save lives in a fire on shore where all
the modern apparatus Is at hand' now
much harder il must be to save HE with
a ship pitching and rolling In seaway.
with slippery decks and panicstricken
crowd OF passengers"
Speaking Of the local system OF inspec-
ton. Captain Seeley said: In addition to
the regular fire drills on our coastwise
and other steamers. the masters are re-
qured to hold fire drills once every week
and to report to the local inspectors
monthly the result OF the drills. Three
or four special inspections are also made
during the year"
or the boat drills he said that no mat
ter how efficient a crew might be the
smashing of a boat, full OF passengers.
while being lowered in a heavy sea, with
the ship rolling, was practically I'M
avoidable.

MARINE AUTHORITIES
IN DOUBT OVER RESCUE
