The stories of Negro heroism told
by the crew were borne out by many
passengers whose lives these Negro
workers had saved The slanderous,
underhand accusations levelled by
the white press and the steamship
owners against these colored workers
were shown to be bare-faced lies. One
of the rescued women, Mrs. Cline

Negro member of the crew, had kent

she was afloat. unconscious IN life

ribs had been crushed in.
On the other hand, cases of dis
elimination and cruelty on the part
of the white officers and passengers

case. white passengers in q lifeboat,
sighting two people drifting in the
sea, one of them a Negro steward

white man, a passenger, board, but
had refused to consider aiding the
Negro woman worker. 1t was only
after repeated entreaties that they

Every sailor who survived the i'll

Another sordid feature of the dis
