Survivors Tell Stories of Horrors.
London, Oct. 14.-The stories told
by the passengers of the steamship
Carmania and other liners which went
to the rescue of the burning Volturno
describe heroic efforts in the face of
almost insuperable difficulties to save
the passengers and crew Of the doomed
ship.
As yet information is lacking as to
how the fire originated, but it Is shown
that the fact that not more lives were
lost was due In the first place to the
wireless and in the second to Capt.
Barr's happy idea of calling the Mar
ragansett for oil.
There is some discrepancy In the
stories with regard to the behavior of
the crew. but 1t Is significant that Of
the crew numbering ninety-three, sew
enty.eight are reported lost. while
most of the officers remained aboard
and we're eventually rescued.
