Captain Pope of
Abandoned SantinO
Refuses HerO's Role

New York, Feb. 2O-"1 on save
your lives boys-Ill stick to the
ship"
Barking this command to members
of his crew as they abandoned the
five-masted schooner Santino during
a binding snoWstorm 40 miles off
Nantucket Light last Sunday. Cap
tain George Pope turned toward the
cabin of the sinking vessel he loved.
A blow from the fist of a giant
sailorman fe!led him to the wave
washed deck. He was placed in a
lifeboat and taken to the freighter
Egremont. which stood by. He was
carried bodily from the life boat to
the steamers deck.
Captain Pope and his crew of IL,
who later We're transferred to the
coast guard cutter Aucshnet, We're
landed today at Boston.
Boston. Feb. 20-Captain George z.
Poppe Of Brooklyn, y. Y, master of
the five-masted schooner Santino.
which he abandoned as it was sink
ing off Nantucket Island last Sum-
day. emphatically denied tonight that
he was a hero. Landed here today
with his crew of II men by the coast
guard cutter Acushnet. Captain
Poppe learned for the first time. he
said, that he had remained with his
schooner until brawny sailorman
knocked him down and dragged him
off. The story was told in New York
by members of the crew Of the
steamer Egremont. which first res
cued the Santino's company and Ia
ter transferred them to the Acush-
net.
ut is absolutely false" Captain
Pope said. Nobody knocked me
down and took me off the schooner"
The skipper is six feet tall. and
built in proportion. Members, Of his
crew expressed the opinion-not in
the captains hearing-that it would
be "some job" to knock him down.
Captain Pope said he had expect
ed the coast guard boat to take his
crew off the sinking Santino at 4
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. The
Acushnet was delayed by ice and did
not arrive until o'clock. In the
meantime. the water was gaining on
the battered Santino, SO the skipper
decided to abandon her and go
aboard the Egremont. He remained
on that vessel with his men until the
Acushnet came to take them off.
II think somebody's making a
story out of this" Captain Pope
said.
