Outing. and
of the 2.
NEW YORK. June 15.——Fivs hundred
persons. mostly children. perished to-
lay. by the burning of the excursion
steamer General Slocum, near Hell
date, in the East River. The Slocum
having on board the annual Sunday
when] excursion of St. Mark‘s German
Lutheran Church, of this city. was
proceeding up the river to one of the
many resorts of. Long island Sound.
When just off about 125th street. per-
;ons on shore saw smoke and flames
:pring from the upper part of the
crowded steamer. A panic ensued on
word instantly. The crowds on the
‘orward deck. panic stricken, began to
spring overboard or to crowd to the
after part of the boat. The screams of
the torrmed passengers could be
heard on shore. and hundreds of small
boats immediately put off to the res-
cue. Owing to the rocks on either side
:f the channel at this point it was im-
possible to beach the vessel. The cap-
;aiu stuck to his post at. the wheel. and
headed the vessel straight up the rive
or from North Brother island, where
the went ashore In the shallow water.
Several hundred feet of open water
laid bctwcen the burning stedmer and
shore, and many persons perished eith-
or in this water or on the burning ves-
sel, after she was beached. it was esti-
mated that the steamer carried more
than 2,000 persons.
The General Slocum is the largest
excursion steamer in these waters. She
nas plied for years to Rockaway Beach.
and will carry about.4.000 passengers.
The General Slocum had on board
the annual Sunday school excursion of
the St. Mark’s German Lutheran
Church, which is located in Twenty-
sixth street. The pastor of the church,
ttev. George C. 1". Haas. was on board
with all of his family. The boat caught
hrs in Hell Gate. and the homes had
complete control before any move could
be made to check them. Frightful
scenes of panic followed. It was im-
possible to run the boat ashore because
of the Hell Gate rocks on either side,
and the captain kept her headed for
North Brother Island. Nothing could
be done in the way of launching boats
and as the flames advanced the passen-
gers began to jump starboard. They
went into the river by hundreds. The
General Slocum was bound for Locust
Greys. beyond Flushing. L. 1.. and had
2.000 people on board. mostly children.
The latest report is that at least five
hundred have been lost.
Many were saved by tugs and other
vessels which promptly came to the
rescue when the flames broke out
The disaster was witnessed by thou-
sands ‘of people from both shores of
the river, and as rapidly as possible
hundreds of small boats and launches
set off to render assistance.
With the boat burning under his feet
the captain stuck to his post in the pi-
lot house, and the engineer remained
at his post below deck until the boat
was beached at the lower end of North
Brother island. off Port Morris. Even
then the passengers were not in a safe
position for they were some distance
from shore and the boat was a fur-
nace. Hundreds of small boats were
scattered about and picked up those
who jumped overboard as rapidly as
possible. It is estimated that between
400 and 600 persons sprang into the
water '

The patients in the hospitals on the

A large part of the crowd on the
doomed steamer were children and
there was little hope for them after
they were in the water. The currentl

"Many of the people who were picked
up must have been burned
“The boat seemed to be crowded
with people. -We saw probably 250 sav-
ed by the tugs and men in rowboats
who put out from the island and New
York shore. The vessel looked as if
she were burned clean to the water‘s
edge.“
There are forty bodies on North
Brother island. eighteen on fireboat
Zopher Mills. seven women. two chil-
dren, two boys and a live woman on
Biker's Island. The Board of Health
has sent one hundred doctors. and five
hundred policemen are on the scene.
The excursion was in charge of the
social committee of the church. headed
by Miss Mary Abendschein. In the
minister's party, his son said, were the
pastor. Miss Abendschein. Assistant
Superintendent Carlanger, Will Schis-
fer. the pastor‘s daughter Gertrude, his
sister. Miss Emma Haas. and W. B.
Tetamore.
At the office of the United States
Steamboat inspection Bureau it was
said the General Slocum was Inspected
on May 5. and was reported to be in a
thoroughly good condition and ready
for the excursion season. Aboard the
steamer was all the life saving appa-
ratus required by law of steamers of
her capacity—2.600.
The General Siocum‘s licensed cap-
tain is Captain W. H. Van Schaick
one of the oldest excursion captains in
New York harbor. The SIoouvn sailed
from the foot of Third street, East Blv-
er, shortly after 9 o'clock. The exact
point she had reached when flames
were discovered in the forward part of
the boat, was on the "Sunken Mea~

When police headquarters received
the first vague report of the disaster.
every source of succor and aid was ut-
ilized. The hospitals were notified by
telephone, and each seat all available
surgeons. nurses and ambulances to the
scene.
The police reserves of a half dozen
stations were hurried out and more
than fifty patrol wagons were sent for
ambulance purposes.
North Brother island. where the Slo-
cum was beached, is occupied by mun-
icipal charity hospitals. and a consid
arable number of physicians and
nurses were immediately available.
Survivors' Account of Fire.
Many of those picked up alive in
river will die in the hospitals. Most of
them were frightfully burned. having
delayed leaping from host until their
clothing was on fire. Some died in the
improvised ambulances In which they
vvere hurried from the shore.
Every man on board who could swim
went overboard loaded dovm with
children. Many of these heroes lost
their lives. because burdened as they
were they could make no headway
against the overpowerin swirl of the
tide as it rushes from t e East River
into the Sound.
John Edeli, 22 years old. one of the
survivors of the disaster gave the fol-
lowing account of his terrible experi-
ence. his mother and little brother he
tug drowned before his eyes:
“When we left the pier the decks
were packed to the limit of their ca-
pacity. The band was playing, the
children were frolicking about and we
were all having a fine time.
"As we neared Hell Gate the chil-
dren were called down to theiower
