bruised, many in need of clothing
:. the story is one of horror. 1t
is one that speaks with no mine
ing words. 1t is one that will
arouse an indignation, righteous
and just against those who put at
the mercy of the ocean waves
nearly $50 lives in a vessel that
was in every respect unseaworthy,
that was as rotten as punk, and
that could be hkened to a death
trap.
while the deep censure should
be put upon the guilty parties who
were responsible for sending the
hulk of fthe metropolis" to sea, a
like censure is due the Govern
ment for the miserable apology of
what is termed life saving sta
tions. To think of it, on a coast
like that of Currituck, Kitty Hawk
and Hatteras, coast that is
strewn with milestones of wrecks,
dismal gravestones of disaster,
that stations are provided some 16
and 20 miles apart, stations with
only crew of seven men to each,
this force to patrol beach of the
length stated, with no appliances
in the shape of horses, or teams
to move with clerity, the life saw
ing apparatus to give aid to the
wrecked, is crime objectionable
"a crime that cries aloud for
redress"
While the "Metropolis" would
not be considered a large vessel
today, she was, back in 1861, a
vessel of considerable proportions.
She was 1S9 feet inches lorg, "a
feet inches wide, with a tonnage
of S79. P. and T. Collins of Phila-
delphia concluded a contract with
the National BOLIVIA Navigation
Company for the construction of
railroad of $50 miles in length
around the rapids of the Madeira
River to a point on the Mamore
River. The work was begun in
1868. A grant of 100000 acres
of land was secured from the Bra
lillian Government.
Was Second Ship to Sail
On the second of January the
Mercedita, the first steamer of the
line established by Collins to carry
laborers and supplies, with over
200 passengers of whom the ma
jority were engineers and mechan-
les, 800 tons of cargo, rails, ma
chinery, etc. She was expected to
reach Para on the lower Amazon
in 16 days, but II days out she
ran short of coal and put in at
the Barbados.
The metropolis" was a double
masted steamship. Under the name
of stars and stripes she was used
in Cuba trade during the Civil
War as supply ship to blockade
squadrons. She was enlarged and
provided with extra boats to carry
225 men. AS was to be expected,
Captain Ankers said he believed
the Metropolis" to be seaworthy.
The ships doctor, a man by the
name of Green, gives a graphic
account of the disaster. He says:
"The ship struck one of, the
most terrible storms known along
the coast. A leak was discovered,
water was fast filling the ship up,
all hands worked furiously to
throw the coal overheard, and only
by the wonderful exertions of the
crew We're they able to reach shore,
70 miles away, during which time
the old ocean was rolling from
side to side, the breakers were
dashing in at every side tearing
her to pieces, cabin windows were
breaking in, skylights were gone,
and at every surge a heavy sea
