London, Oct 13.-The latest ao-
counts of the disaster to the steam
| ship Volturno, burned and aban-
doned in mid-ocean on Friday morn
Ing, confirm that the loss of life will
be limited to about 1876. The Carma-
mia. first of the rescuing ships to
reach the burning steamer, arrived off
Queenstown this morning, but owing
to the gale proceeded to Fishguard.
A graphic story by the solitary sur
vivor aboard the Carmania was re-
ceived by wireless and presents a ter
rible picture of the horror and confu-
sion aboard the burning liner.
London, Oct. 13.-Not since the IT.
tanic disaster has Europe been SO
thrilled as by wireless message Sat
urday telling of the burning of the
steamship Volturno in mid-Atlantic.
with loss, so far as is at present
known, of 1876 lives and the rescue of
521.
The survivors are now aboard a
fleet of steamers summoned by the
Volturnos call for help, some of
which are bound eastward AID 9TH
ers westward.
The Volturno sailed from Rotter-
dam on October End for New York.
According to the official statement
she carried 23 first cabin passengers.
53S steerage. and crew numbering
90.
The rescue ships reached the scene
of the disaster in plenty of time I o
save all. but for hours stood by the
blazing vessel impotent because of a
terrific storm to reach to agonized
men, women and children crowding
the after part of the ship and within
a stones throw.
All night Thursday the lifeboats
made desperate effort to get along
side the Volturno. but the waves beat
them back again and again. and not
until the storm abated at daylight
Friday did the rescuers succeed in re-
moving the survivors from the
doomed ship.
Even now only the fringe of one OF
the most thrilling tales of the sea is
available Exactly how the rescue
was effected is not known.
The Volturno was well equipped
with boats, sufficient, the agents say,
for a thousand people. but the tower
ing seas or lack of boat drill. or panic.
among the passengers prevented the
successful employment of them.
The rescue ships were able to low
er lifeboats, but apparently most of
the boats launched from the Volturno
were smashed or upset and the occu-
pants drowned.
Two of the boats, crowded with
passengers. are reported to have got
away from the ship, but search for
them has proved fruitless and they
have practically been given up as
lost. The occupants of these boats are
included in the death roll.
