MARTHA'S VINEYARD LIFEBOATS.

Owners of the Vessel State That They
Are Perfectly Safe.
THOS. I. RAYMOND, Esq..

Treasurer, Norwalk Steamboat 00.,

South Norwalk Conn.

Dear Sin-Beg to acknowledge yours
of the 16th and in reply will say that
so far as the condition of the life-boats
on the “Martha's Vineyard” is concern-
ed they are all in perfect condition,
they haVe been used regularly in drill
each week here on the Edgariown
route and the two on the hurricane
deck were new Judy 1st, 1903, All the
boats were fully equipped for instant
use when turned over to your Com-
pany as shown by the inventory taken
by Capt. Bette and myself.

i knew that criticism was to be ex-
pected from the conversations that I
overheard on board after we had left
the scenemf the catastrophe. These
criticisms Were entirely unioerited so
far as I, can understand the circum
stances and in this account that I am
about to make you i want it distinct-
ly understood that I have had no talk
or communication with your oillcers at
all and am entirely ignorant of what
reasons they had for doing as they did
but presume that they were the same
that occurred to me as a practical
steamboat man who has been In side-
wheelboat‘s for some ﬁfteen years.

To explain in detail:- We saw the
General Slocum coming down the river
when we were a considerable dis-
tance to the eastward of Rikere' Island
-. . "i‘irtzi- "
on board and she was any half way
from Sunken Meadow to the North
Brother before the smoke and flame
showed up that there was trouble
aboard. Even at this time I think
that none of us on deck realized what
was happening and it was not until
the boat had rounded the North Broth-
er and appeared to as head on and a
perfect hell of ﬂame with passengers
dropping overboard from all sides that
we realized fully what had occurred.
At that time she was just striking the
beach on the North Brother and we
were abreast the wharf on Riker's ls-
land. ’

To have tried to go in to the burn
lng boat from the eastward would have
resulted in the destruction of our own
vessel as the name was blowing hat.
way across the river and the black
smoke concealed every thing between
the Island and Port Morris...« We could
not get in to windward of the “SIG
cum" as she was already on the beach
and too close to the shore to do any-
thing. The iast man in sight forward
leaped overboard as she took the
beach.

Your captain rounded the southerly
end of the North rother and started
to go in on the w st side. but turned
out again and proceeded on his course
to New York. There were lugs and
small boats a plenty on the west sldi
of the Island and more coming togethv
or with the fire boat Zophar Mills. To
have mixed up with these small boats
would have seriously interfered will
the work of rescue they were doing he
side which the tide running to the east
ward would have drawn us under thi
lee of the burning steamer and proba
bly set us aﬂre too. We had some 75

to 80 passengers aboard and I think
that no man in his right mind hasvan)‘
business to deliberately imperil hli
own passengers under such circumstan
cos. To have attempted to lower his
boots would have resulted in the heel

of the North Brother. Anything that the careless‘or ignorant. To men come

Under these circumstances it seem

to me that the captain did the best pos- education. and knowledge of natural.

Yesterday Prompted y Accident.
Following are extracts from the ser~

and would not be comforted because
they are not."-—Matthow 11: 18.

One great difference between the
New Testament situation and that of
the stricken section of New York is
that In the latter there are few Rnch~
die to weep and only the husbands and
Iuihers are left to mourn.

i‘iiluble beyond all expression that
the happy good byca said in lho moi-ii-
lug as the strong nit-u wont to work
and the women and children left for
a day‘s pleasure should In- line lust ever
said by them,

Inscruiablo except from point all
view of physical causes and tBI‘I't‘CIi-l that
so much suffering of heart and body
should come to the innocent an.‘ help-
less. At such times there a. . zil-
ways two classes of people in evidence
who contribute nothing to comfort and
consolation, but only add to the general
depression and sorrow. One class
sees pretty clearly and positively how
and why it was the Lord's will. They
are sure that It was some special act
of Providence—“and that those who
perished are saved much worry and
trial In life, and some perhaps even a
worse fate. it is a wonder that we
have any patience to listen to this
class of people. Nothing more pre-
sumptuous, nothlng closer to arrogat-
lug omnisciencc that attempts to ex-
plain from point of view of Divine
Providence every tribulation and catas-
trophe. There are times when every
one perceives what we call a merciful
Providence. They oixenslon no prob-
lem. or liearircndlng. in the pros-
cnce of ollier great calamities and also

grout tribul on also brings us face to
face with an her class of people, shal-
low, cheerless. hopefnl_ What he-
:onies of your belief in God. they say,
if He allows such suffering? Our
answer would be that we have not. any
longer faith in the sort of God the
question implies. Our God is not a
capricious God, though that caprice
were a benevolent caprice.
it is remarkable that in this scion-
tlfic age the god of so many people
should be little more lbun lbe kind fai-
ry of childhood tales who intervenes to
thwart the designs of the wicked or
also turn them to good account. The
religion of many may be freed from
the association of charms and wonder
Working evil averting nmulcis, but
their God is still a very limited person-
ality whose diityis that of the kind
fairy. Our God is not that sort. He
has established the universe on general
laws. not on capricious acts. These
laws affect what we call the natural
and spiritual world. Human develop-
ment and human safety depend upon
knowledge of and compliance with
those law. This fact makes living it'-
self a great risk. Physically we risk
our lives every day. We take risks
il'lll‘iII and great and grow careless of
the necessity of eternal vigilance. Mor-
aliy the conditions of civilization and
education permit the developemnt of
strong and noble character, also a vie»
ions and despicable one. In other
words great disasters and great crimes
only intensity and bring strongly be-
fore us, the problem that is with us
every day. A single death from fire
may be multiplied by ﬁve hundred or
a thousand where numbers are satin
ered together and add to the dangers
of a common risk.
Crimes and disasters like Herod's
slaughter of the innocents or last
week's burning of the excursion steam-

may cause great suffering and loss.And
