.I3 SURVIVORS
 ACCOUNTED FOR
ANOTHER STEAMER BRINGS lh FIVE MORE RESCUED FROM
 THE BOILING WATERS.
This Leaves the Death List of the Ill Fated Tanker at Twenty-Five, h. cuding the Officere


 yivors tonight had been accounted for out of the thirty-eight men aboard the tank steamer Oklahoma when she broke in two Sunday in storm of Barnegat. Another story of heroic rescue was written beside the tale told by the wireless that brought the first news of the disaster.
 Until the Booth liner Ga5ory, flesh from a 2000 mile voyage mp the Amazon, arrived today the eight men taken off the Oklahoma by the steam snip Bavaria were believed to be the only ones saved. But the Gregory had five more of the shipWrecked crew that her officers had dragged from the boiling sea at the risk of their own lives.
 So the Oltlahoma's death list stood at twenty-five tonight and there was little hope that more of the crew would be saved What little hope re- mained was based on the fac. that the men brought to port by the Greg ory said anOthe lifeboat besides theire had been launched from the sinking steamer. There was little doubt, however. that this was the boat si1ht- vd by the revenue cutter Seneca with three fozen bodies under its thwarts. The boat that carried the five sur vivors within reach of the Gregory | contained but one body when it was cast adrift after the rescue.
 Of the Ol1lahoma's crew of thirty eight, eleven manned the boat that reached the Gregory; nineteen took to the other boat and eight stayed aboard, to be saved by the Bavaria. Of the larger boat load probably al were lost. Of the eleven i'll the small CT boat six were drowned when the boat capsized barely 100 yards away from the side of the Booth liner.
 When the Gregory sighted the Ok lahoma's lifeboat the benumbed sail ors had hoisted a sail which enabled them to keep their craft from being overwhelmed by the gigantic seas. As the Gregory came within hailing distance the shipwrecked men drop, ped their sail and their boat imme. diately lost its steerage way and turned over.
 Then one after the other. the three chief officers of the Gregory, without waiting to throw off clothes, plum yed over the side. They were First Of fiaor E IT puolr Gacn,,d Offoar I = Williams and Third Officer F. D. Rob- erts, all young Englishmen. Buck, who has medal given by the king of Greece for a rescue he made nine years ago in the Bay of Biscay, knew what it meant to breast a storm beat en sea and he tied himself to a bow line. The others took no lines and all but paid the penalty with their lives.
 Each officer seized struggling sailor and brought him to the ships side, then went back to where the lifeboat was floating bottom side up. Three more were rescued. The first man hauled aboard died on the deck.
 
 hard work by the surgeon and crew.
 One man was seen swimming near the ship Capt. Aspinwall heaved him life buoy at the end of a line. The man had it in his grasp, when great wave heeled the ship over and when it swung back the man had disappeared. The lifeboat righted itself and as it floated past the Greg ory crew saw a man damned under the seats. Officer Buck wanted 70 jump in after him, but his captain held him back.
 When the agents of the Booth line here sent a report of the rescue to the home office in Liverpool today they recommended Buck, Williams and Roberts for promotion.
 John Kosich, the Oklahoma's mess boy, a Norwegian, said he and his ten shipmates in the lifeboat that reached the Gregory, saw the other boat put off from the opposite side of the tanks steamer. That boat he said, had almost twice as many men in her as ours.
 Capt. Loring "A. Gates, Boston skipper formerly in. command of the tank steamer Ligoufer, and a passen. ger on the Oklahoma, commanded the other lifeboat, Kosich said.
 From memory Kosich and his com panions gave this list of the names of those in their boat who perished Wm. k. Dodd, first assistant engi neer, who took charge; Walter Han nan. second assistant engineer; Axe Anderson, a seaman; John Sullivan
