FOOD VESSEL SINKS;
TWO THOUGHT DEAD
The Sixaola, Ready to Sail,
Catches Fire and Is
Sunk at Pier.
ACTING CAPTAIN is LOST
Lieut.. Foster and Bos'n
Kramer Believed to Have
Perished.

The transport Sixaols, a United Fruit
liner, which was scheduled TO sail to-
day for France with big cargo Of beef,
butter. lard and bacon for our soldiers
In France. was sunk at her pier in Ho-
boken last night to prevent her destruc-
ton by fire that burst from hatch No.

crew, Lieut.. e. Fl. Foster Of Brooklyn,
executive officer and acting captain in
the absence Of Capt. II. p. Smith. who Is
Ill, and First Glass Boatswain's Mate
Frank Kramer OF this city are supposed
to have perished with her.
When tho FIRE was discovered Chief
John Gilday OF the Hoboken Fire De-
partment. was notified by telephone and
he came with two companies. who found
the Sixaolas officers and men hard at
work trying to put out the blaze. Later
New York hremen came to help.
Lieut.. Foster. who was In the hold
was partly overcome by smoke and was
carried out on the pier, where he soon
revived and went back. supposedly with
the intention OF opening the sea cocks to
expedite the sinking of the steamship.
which was then pretty we'll filled with
water pumped in by the nremen.
Vessel Lists Badly.
The sixaola had listed heavily to port
and one Of her topmasts was snapped
Off by contact with the pier shed. She
finally sank stern first
1t was then learned definitely that
Lieut. Foster and Bos'n Kramer had
gone below and that they had not been
seen to como I'D on deck again. II is
supposed they may have been overcome
by smoke and drowned when the sixaola
settled In the mud, with decks below
water.
Fellow officers Of Lieut.. Foster said
last night that ne had plenty of time. II
he had been alive. to get out of the ship,
as they had fully an hour between the
moment they went down into the hold
and the time the Sixaola's keel rested on
the river bed. Ensign G. W. Sloan.
Junior officer OF the transport. said that
when he noticed she was beginning to
sink he ordered the bell rung to abandon
| ship, and II Lieut- Foster had been alive
he would have come on deck. He said
there was little or no hope that the two
| men were alive.
Ship VIII he Raised.
The Sixaols will be raised. but will be
so badly damaged that II may take
months to put her shipshape. When

piled between New York and Central

cargo south. She was fitted with 4 re-

The officers and crew OF the Sixaola
had abandoned hope late last night Of
| seeing their commander alive again and
| all were much detected. A special de-
| livery letter addressed TO Bos'n Kramer
arrived at the pier last night II was
evidently from his wife. who Is said to
be living in this borough with her three

II was sent back to the sender. Ensign
