he had given bankers as class right

Humphrey Jones, a passenger on the

Barr made another attempt to reach the

by those on board. but this attempt also
proved futile
In the meantime the despairing mes

Rescue Attempt Fails.

When Captain Barr gave the order to
launch lifeooat Ii was received with a
ringing cheer, but the attempt at rescue
failed. and as further efforts to get
alongside the Volturno meant certain
death to the boat crew, First Officer
Gardiner regretfully gave the order to
turn back. After two hours battling
with the sea the boat again came within

smashed against the side OF It's own ship
But hnally it was lifted aboard amid
cheering.
Late in the afternoon. after the fleet

was becoming desperate. Attempts were
made To send RATS from the Carmania,

NIGHT OF HORROR. ON
BOARD THE VOLTURNO

FISHGUARD, Oct. 13.-The Carma-
MA, first of the rescuing vessels on
the scene of the disaster to the Vol
turno, arrived here shortly after 2
o clock this afternoon.
Captain Barr met the newspaper cor
respondents with a positive refusal to
say word about the Volturno until
the Carmania reached Liverpool and
he had delivered his report to the
Cunard company.
He referred his would-be interview
ers to the ships bulletin for an ac
count of the tragedy. The greater
part of the contents of this had al
ready become history. The fire on the
Volturno appears to have originated
in her cargo hold When it became
evident that the flames had gained the
mastery, Captain Francis Inch devoted
all his energy to the salvation of his

The Carmania IS bulletin says that
six small boats were launched from
the Volturno, that two of them with
thirty-hve passengers each on board
got away and that the other four were
smashed against the ships side and
all their occupants perished.
After the failure Of the lfeboats from
the Carmania to reach the burning ship
and when Captain Barr nlaneuvered his
vessel close to the Volturno the passen-
gers on board the Cunarder did every
thing in their power TO encourage the
terrified crowd huddled together In the
after part OF the Volturno, They waved
handkerchiefs and shouted cheering
words through negaphones. to which
they received answering signals from
the emigrants on the Volturno.

communication between the Car.nania

COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER
WATER CONTRACT RENEWAL
MAY OPERATE CITY PUMPS IN
PREFERENCE TO PAYING A
HIGHER RATE.

The renewal of the contract with
Patrice Gregory To supply Lake Lin
den with water will be considered at
an adjourned meeting of the council
Wednesday evening. 1t has been stat
ed the rate may be increased this year
and the council will meet such a de-
mand with the alternative of aband-
oning the Gregory system for the
electric pumps which the village own.
The contract which expires October
10. has been in force ten years and
previous to this summer the purity or
the water has never been questioned.
In view of the fact that the water
was not used for consumption for
several months the board likely will
object to a higher price.
The matter of repairing the town
hall will also come up at Wednesday S
session and a plan for altering the
fire station will likely be submitted.
When the building was constructed,
the Center street entrance was too
high To permit teams To leave the

ing committee elected to lower ii To
