CREW ACCUSED
IN SOUND CRASH
Passengers Say There
Was No Discipline on
Rammed Bunker Hill.
rBy Telegraph 10 tt. Tribune. J

Boston, June 14-Returning passen-
gers of the Bunker Hill to-day made
grave charges against the crew and
the management of the line. Many
maintain that negro walters and por-
tiers in particular showed disregard Of
tie passengers, and even thrust women
aside in their efforts to gain places Of
safety
Former Congressman Joseph F.
O'Connell, who was a passenger, said:
THE crew did not do anything. The
passengers tried TO man the lifeboats
alone and without help, because there
was no one around to give orders to
assist The boats apparently had never
been used. Il was hard work to move
them. They were so securely dashed
il was almost impossible TO swing them
out. There was no oruer and no disci-
pline. In the dining room when the
crash came almos, every waiter in
the room rushed for the door, crowdng
the passengers down into the stew
ards department, in their efforts TO
set away"
Investigation of the collision be-
tween the yacht Vanadis, owned by c..
K. G. Billings, and the Bunker Hill, Of
the Eastern Steamship Company,
which occurred in the Sound Sunday
night and resulted in the death of two
persons, was begun yesterday by the
government. Responsibility for the
crash will be fixed and the charges OF
neglect Of passengers by the crew
sifted.
In his report Captain William T
Holmes declared that at the moment
of the collision he was proceeding
slowly through the fog and sounding
warning blasts on his siren at fire.
quent intervals. lie praised Captain
Thomas Harrington, Of the yacht, who
rescued John J. Brown, the young Bos-
ton travelling salesman. who was
thrown into the water, and died an
hour later on the Billings craft. Cap
tain Harrington, the Bunker Hills com
mander declared, offered 20 stand By
and take off passengers. Captain
Charlton, United States Inspector OF
Hulls, prepared a report

a yard of the waterlne Mr.. and Mrs.
Billings and Andrew MacLesh, of Chi
cago, father Of Mrs. Billings. went
ashore and returned to their country
home at Mill Neck. a few miles from
the landing. Mr.. Billings would not
discuss the accident yesterday.
As soon as the weather promises a
clear run the Naradis will leave her
anchorage half mile off Glen Cove
and come 20 New York for repairs.
The big yacnt presented a sorry sight
yesterday, and II was said that AT least
a month would be required to put her
back in commission Besides the

cation in drydock will show that the
vessel is badly strained back TO the
