That discussion Will hurt business. Sound steamers are not safe—that is they are not safe if judged on the standard set up by ocean liners. Their factor of safety lies princi. pally in their course. which runs through sheltered waters. and much of the way close to shore. Noreever, the Sound boats travel In fiestasfltand on the hurricane deck of any one of them and you see the tail lights of a half dozen others within easy distance. tiarticdlnriy is this true of the west- ern Sound, where the New Haven, Hartford. Bridgeport. Providence. Fall ltiver, New London and New Bedford boats all travel the same narrow lane. E But the boats themselves are ill constructed. The nature of their business, , this about. In the urea must combine the nu ll! m draft and large pas- senger capacity. An ocean goer carry- mg as many people as one of the big r‘ali River gaileons would draw close to .30 feet of water, a fact which would exclude her' from all harbors. and make her navigationa thing of delicacy even in the Sound's deepest roaches. ‘The Fall River boats, big- gest of the lot, draw perhaps 12 feel. i‘beil capacity ls brought about by the construction of a broad shallow hull. over which is extended wide guards and upon which is erected a towering, castle like superstructure, filled with state rooms and social halls. Steady . this creation with gigantic side wheels * and It will do very well for ordinary weather in sheltered waters. Turn it loose in the great seas of the ocean «with the to heavy mass swaying to the roll, an the pinched body too shallow to grip stability below, with! the waves coaching her under thel guards and pounding her gingerbread upperworks—do this, and you have another Portland disaster, with scarcely a body coming ashore to hint at the awful and .. 'But the sheltered Sound seldom bringsabout a calamity of this nature. i.‘ worse menace is collision and a still worse menace is fire. You can- Jan the high sided, steel walled ocean goers. The ill-fated Larchmont had so compartments at all. That was why she filled and sank in ten minutes. when an outside coaster would have remained. afloat, at the least until her-I bulkheads burst. And as for the fire peril, perhaps the best testi- mony is given by the general plan recent burning of the Plymouth that his company could find no way of .naklug Sound steamers fire proof. The nature of things requires that they be built of light inflammable ma- Leridl—and a lot of it. With the great superstructure ablaze—vow dell- .yite regulations everybody smokes in iltnteroomsae passenger list totaling :lose to the thousand mark has peril- ously little time to get into the boats. For-another thing, it has long been notorious that the emergency drill on the Sound hosts is lax. At best the craft are little more than traveling hotels, with creWs composed mainly of firemen, waiters and the like There Ire few sailors.‘ And' with the trip only 12 hours long there is practically no time for drill. If there was there would be complaints innumerable from passengel‘ who objected to hav' ing their rest disturbed. Four saved from Lexington. The Providence Tribune and the tested Herald print long lists of dis- lsters in the Sound. Worst of all was the burning of the Stonington liner. Lexingtomin 1841. It was just such A'night as Monday night, the temperature being below zero, with ice making rapidly in the Sound. The Lexington was not one of the regular bouts of the line, but was placed onihe run for that night because she was one of the strongest boats for the run. When she left New York she had at least 150 per- sons on board, with 150 bales of cot- ton.‘ When off Eaton‘s Neck, on the Long Island shore, and some seven miles from land, at 7:30 o'clock that night, she was dlscoveredlo be on fire—how it originated, none of the four sur- viors ever knew positively. Oneof the. four men. Charles Smith, a. fire man, died two years ago. He saved himself by clinging to the wheel house.- The second mate. David Crowley. and the captain, Chester Millard. took to bales of cotton, and so did Stephen Manchester. the pilot and the fourth survivor. An attempt was made to get the steamer to the shore, but the tiller ropes burned away and the boat be some unma‘nageable. Two boats were launched, both filled with passengers. but in each case some of the panic- stricken passengers or crew cut the tackle and they sank with all on board David Crowley, the mate. died on! six, years ago.

The Loss of the Ianwanbaka. in 1880, the year in which the Nsr ragansstt was sunk. came the disaster to the steamer Seawsnhska. which was burned to the water’s edge, June 28. 1880. opposite Ward's Island. Many Well known New Yorkers were on board at the time, among them Charles A. Dana. of the New York Sun. and there were scenes of appalling terror and horror. The Seawsnllaka was bound from . New Yark for Glen Cove and other Sound ports. She was nearly opposite Ward's Island when the 250 passen- gers on board were startled by an ex- plosion in the engine room that shook the entire steamer. at 5 p. m This was followed by a cry of fire. and with- in ton minutes names were rapidly spreading from the bow aft, causing a terrible scene of confusion and panic Captain Charles]! Smith immedi stely headed his steamer for shore. She struck a bank on'the south side of a flll‘i run of water flowing from‘Ward‘s island. This attempt to beach the steamer failed. and she slid back Inlo deep water. The passengers on llli‘ front end of the steamer began to jump into the water and make for the shore. This was their mistake. and cost many persons their lives. Asthe steamer began to move again and make for the north side of this stream of water, passengers who had jumped into the water were struck down and killed by the side wheels of the‘stesmer. The steamer proceedv ed until she reached the Sunken Meadows. a little north of Ward's Isl- site the creek, where the captained failed at first to beach her. Captain Smith. who was acting pilot, remained at his wheel until the skin was burned from his hands. He fin- ally jumped overboard and was res- cucd and taken to the hospital, where he died. . Among those who witnessed the tragic death of the Rev. Dr. Jacob W. Diller, rector emeritus of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, the scene will never be forgotten. He stood on the upper deck grasping a stay. ills daughter struggled to loosen his hands that she might push him overboard. Where he. would have been picked up in Ihe water. " lie was. howover. paralyzed with fright. She had to leave him there to burn b the sight of many who could sender no assistance. The daughter. whose. clothes had caught fire. jumped merhoard and died later from the terrible burns she received while try- ing to save her father. Several Sound steamers sent small boats to the no sistance of the passengers. Many were picked up in the water. Among those saved were the late William R. Grace. with members of his family; Cherie; A. Dana. S. L. M. Ban low, John W. arper and many prom- inent business men of New York. who were spending the summer on the Sound. The loss of the Gen. Slocum is too recent to need recall. Strictly speak ing, she was not a sound liner any- way 00 BACK TO THEIR CIGARS. . Two ‘cftnhe Sin Men ill-Compact Will Pay for Dinner. Of the six men who entered into a page at F. E. Lockwood and Company' 6 Norwalk store to refrain from the use of tobacco during Lent. two have fall- on by the way.sido The first was Charles E. Raymond, who declared that he had to smoke some of his to- bacon in order to bring It into the United States, while he was in Toronto last week. George L. Lockwood prov- ed the second victim. Saturday, the desire for a cigar proved too great and he smoked one. The four who are still suffering are Frederick E. book wood. William K. Maples, Jesse Col- well and Wll F. DeKiyn. The penalty for breaking the agree- ment is a due of 55, all money thus forfeited to be contributed toward a fund for a big supper 'for the whole party. By the succumbing of the two above mentioned, the fund amounts to 510. it is hoped to have at least one more victim, in order to bring the available amount for tho supper up to $15.
