Black Heroes
Tell True Story
Of Sea Horror
[ Snecial Crusnder Dlspntch

iOpttldi ATuStUtF
NEW YORK, Nov 2S.-Their ton
CUES at last united by the slander of
the white daily press and the attempt
Of the Lamport a Holt Company TO
make them the goats of the tragic
disaster of the s. S. Vestris. the Me-
gro members of the crew last night
told two reporters of the Crusader
News Service the true story of GRIM
inal negligence and mismanagement
which led up to the sea horror.
Irving Duniee and Fred Harlow,
two Crusader News Service men, ex-
perienced the utmost difficulty in
getting within speaking distance of
the shipwrecked Negro workers, who
were corrallcd in a hall of the Sea-
mems Church Institute Mt 20 South
Street; an Institution supported by
subsidies from big shipping compan-
les as strike-hreaking agency. These
men, who the latest reports show,
played the part Of real heroes, are
virtually held as prisoners and not
allowed to. leave the building. They
are closely guarded by agents Of the
steamship company who will allow no
one in unless he carries q special card
Of admission. The rule is strictly en-
forced against white visitors. all of
whom are suspected Of beings news
paper men. The. reporters got by the
guard at the door by posing as rel
atives Of some Of the crew. But get
ting by the door. difficult as it had
been, was the easiest part Of our job.
The real lob was to get the men to
talk. They had been given strict in
structions by the steamship people
to keep their mouths shut, and itswas
only after they were shown copies of
the white daily papers and got wise
to the slander being spread against
them as cowQrs and incompetents
THAT they opened theri mouths.
\, Stokcrs Tied In Hold
These men tell tale Of negligence
on the part, Of the company and in
competent officers. -
"The whole trouble was that the
coal port on the starboard sidc," said
Evans Hampden, Negro fireman,
(which was four feet above the water
line, was not entirely,closed when we
I-left port and couldn't be closed and
locked, and the water poured through
it In the first heavy sea. With the
ocean coming in they sent down the
Ebedroom stewards to bail Il out with
buckets" ."s.a .a
Continuing his story, Hampden
said that the stokers had been tied
together in the hold. working fren-
ziedly Co keep the ship afloat. With
each wave the danger of their going
down Increased. But when the life
boats were lowered, no word was
passed to the workers in the hold.
