Harrington Tells How
He Tried in Vain TO Save
His Wife From Wreck

New York, Jan. 31.-Six survivors
of the disaster to the steamship Mon
roe reached here early to-day over the
Pennsylvania Railroad from Norfolk.
Among them was Thomas Harrington.
of Bridgeport, Conn, accompanying
the body of his wife, who died after
being taken aboard the rescue ship
Nantucket.
Harrington was the passenger who
swan in the cold water supporting
his wife by holding her hair in his
teeth. He was on his way to Norwalk,
Conn. where his wife's parents reside.
Harrington and his wife had a state
room on the side where the Monroe
was rammed. When the shock came,
he said. I'VE got up and dressed and
wasted time that might have saved
the poor girls life"
BY the time they reached the main
saloon the ship had keeled so that the
side wall was their floor. There was
lurch," said Harrington, "and Mar
garet was thrown twenty feet and
lodged under the bench built along
the sides of the cabin. 1 slid and
scrambled after her. When | took
hold of her she screamed and pointed
to her poor right arm. 1t was broken
and hanging limp.
Then the ship sagged back again
ana tnere was rush or water that
washed us out to the deck. l man
aged tor get off our outer clothes.
Then we let go and the ship went
away from under u.s.
Harrington told how he tried to
swim holding his wife by the broken
arm, but this panied her so that finally
nc twisted he" long hair into "a rope
close to her head, and taking it in
his leetn, iloateu on his bach, Aeeplng
the woman's head on his chest.
"One lifeboat passed within ten
feet" he said, and ignored their calls
for help. After nearly two hours an
other boat came. ST held Margaret up
to them," continued Harrington, land
q sailor said:
"'Let her go. She is dead
"'She Is not dead, l said to him.
and you take her aboard if you do
not want to go to hell with murder
on your soul
80 they took her in. And she
opened her eyes and smiled at me.
when they got me aboard the ship
they put her in one stateroom and left
her and put me in another. | be-
lieve that If doctor had been with
her right away with stimulants she
might be alive now. But they were all
mixed up, and when / found where
she was lying, all alone, she was
dead"

two were members of the crew. OF
the total of ninety mine persons saved,
thlrty-nine were passengers and sixty
were members of the crew.
preliminary steps for beginning the
Federal investigation were taken early
to-day as the result of instructions
from the Department of Commerce
at Washington, to the local steamboat
inspection service. Robert Tapley in
spector of hulls, and Edward w. Brey,
inspector of boilers here, will conduct
the inquiry
Orders Sweeping Inquiry
Assistant Secretary Sweet, of the
Department of Commerce, has ordered
sweeping inquiry into the causes and
circumstances that led to the catas-
trophe. The inquiry will be directed
along three lines, as follows:
| Whether the masters of both
vessels used every possible pre-
caution to prevent the tragedy,
including low speed headway
and continued use of fog horns.
Whether the terrible death rate
among the passengers of the Mon
roe was due I'm any way to n lack
of discipline among the wrecked
ships crew.
Whether the two vessels were
i1 their proper positions prior to
the collision.
Little Confusion
| The question of possible panic on
the part of the crew is one to which
the Federal authorities will direct
their attention. Survivors, however,
declare that little, If any, confusion
followed the collision. All of them
praise the crew for their splendid be-
havior. Fl. b. Walker, of New York,
president and general manager Of the
Old Dominion Steamship Company,
arrived here to-day from Washington
prepared to take up the investigation.
Some of the survivors, worn out by
exposure and hardship, spent restless
nights or lay on hospital cots, while
others were on the way to their homes
to-day. Some of them We're recount
ing their horrible experiences of yes
terday and gave graphic descriptions
OF the collision and the events that
followed. The Nantucket, which lay
in her berth at the dock in a badly
battered condition, was a solemn re-
minder of yesterdays sea tragedy. She
was viewed by hundreds of the curl
Gus.
No official statement could be OBJ
tanned about the investigation of the
steamship inspectors to-day, put 1t is
said that witnesses testified Captain
Johnson stopped the Monroe's engines
when he heard the Nantucket's an
swering siren signal and that the lost
ship was practically standing still
when the Nantucket rammed her
amidShips and speared her in two.
Nantucket Did Not Stop
Other witnesses testified, 1t Is said
that the Nantucket continued to steam
toward the Monroe after the lost ship
had blown two whistles three times.
1t is said that the testimony shows
that Captain Berry, the second officer
and the quartermaster of the Nan
tucket were all in the pilot house OF
their ship when the two vessels came
together and that the lookout on the
Monroe saw the lights on the mast OF
the Nantucket about two minutes be-
fore the crash occurred

Call of the City.

Life in the city is needed for a real
appreciation of the country. Blake,
the painter and mystic dreamer, lived
in the heart of London! Millet, the
painter of French rural scenes, de-
lighted in his life in Paris; Turner
commenced life in Seven Dials. 1t is
possible for people to live in the midst
of earth's glories and not appreciate
them till someone from the city re-
veals to them the charm. OF late years
we have heard much Of the cry: Back
to the land" 1t will never be much
more than a cry. Men in the mass
will not go back. Mans ideal is not
the Garden of Eden. He has left that
far behind and will never return to
it.-Rev. w. II. Armstrong in the Daily
Citizen.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1914-09-01

Sir Martin Conway has recently told
this story of finding a lost AK in the
Alps: Zurbiggen, one of the cele-
brated mountain climbers of the
world, in scaling a peak of Les An
glaises, near Chamounix, accidentally
let his AK fall near the summit of the
peak. 1t fell some thousands of feet.
In the normal course of things it was
buried in snow and swallowed up in
the glacier, being covered deeper and
deeper each year, and at the same
time being carried slowly downward
as the ice flowed on. Seven or eight
years afterward Hon. c. G. Bruce and
Harkbir, a Sepoy chief. in descending
peak of the Alps just as night was
falling, and a great crevasse barred
the way, being unable TO find the
bridge over it, cut a path down to
to bottom, where Harkbir stepped on
an AK which had NJ z. Zurbiggen's ini-
tials on the handle. There could be
no mistake as to the identity of the
AK, as Harkbir had seen it and used
It before.
