rible certainly , but how many more
will only be known when Jhe missing
columns are finished.
There are bodies still In the hull
of Hie burned vessel , but the river Is
looked lo In complete the list. How
ninny went over the railing Into the
treacherous waters of Hell Gate may
no\or be known.

Many dramatic Incidents occurred

hospital are still in a critical condi
tion.
Crowds at Morgue all Night.
All night crowds of people visited
the morgue with entreaties for a
chance to try and make identiflca
lions. Flocks of hundreds and thou
sands of men and women hovered
about the doors trying lo gel in , In
order to recognize In the cold , white
faces of the heaps of the dead , some
relative who had gone out on that
'II ' fated trip of the Sunday school
excursion vessel. Grey haired men
and women who had missed their
'laughters and their granddaughters
men who had been at work during the
unfortunate hour In the morning ,
waited anxiously and long to get a
glimpse of perhaps a wife or a little
daughter who , with clothing afire ,
hail been forced to Jump overboard
Into the swirling , swallowing , eddies
of Ea&t river. .
The Stricken City.
Now York was up and awake all
of last night. Sleep was nn utter Im
possibility to the great throbbing ,
sympathetic metropolis. Relatives
of those who were on the fated Slo
cum were about all night with drawn
and tear-stained faces , hoping against
hope that their beloved ones might
be among those whose lives were
saved from the horrible holocaust.
The work of rescue and identification
wont sadly and relentlessly forward ,
and even for those whose families
were accounted for there was no rest.
The horrid details as they came to
light were seared upon their brains
and they crowded recklessly forward
to hear the latest. A strong cordon
of police was maintained to keep the
oxcltod mob from interfering with the
work of the rescuers and the officers

Like a Tinder Box.
The Slocum sailed from Ibe fool of

reuehoil when the lire was dlscov
ered In ( he I or ward part of Hie boat
was off Iho "Biinkon meadows" nt

land. So ijiilck was the Hprend of

make for North Mrolliei'H' Island un

The excursion was In charge of llio

Miss Ahoiidsolielii , Assistant Super
intendent Carl Anger , Win. Schlafer ,
the pastor's daughter Gertrude , his
sister , Miss ISinmn Haas , and W. It.
Tolainore.
My Iho time the Slocum reached
One Hundred and Thirly-IIflh street
Ihe excursionists , driven lo the rail ,
many of them with their clothing on
fire , began to jump overboard. When
One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street
had been reached the heal from Ibo
fire had become KO Intense ( bat men ,
women and children plunged over
board by the score. There was n ter
rific crash when llio boat was
beached. The boat was beached at
the roof at the northern end of Nortii
Druthers' island , where she rapidly
burned to the water's odgo.
Passengers Begin to Jump ,
My the time the Slocum had reached
Due Hundred and Twenty fifth street
the excursionists wore driven to the
rail , and many of them , with their
clothes on lire , begun lo jump over
board by twos find throes.
When One Hundred and Thirty
Eighth street was reached the heat
had become so intense that men ,
women and children plunged over
board by the score. There was a ter
rific crash when the boat was
beached.
It Is said the fire was started in
the lunch counter In the forward
part of the boat. When the alarm
spread among the passengers the
hurricane deck was crowded , and
when off One Hundred and Thirty-
eighth street this deck collapsed
Many persons were thrown into the
water , but hundreds were precipltat
ed Into the lower deck which was
Itself a mass of women and children
A tug of the JN'ew York Cent nil

the heroism of some unknown man
This man stood on the paddle wheel

and children to the tug until he wa
driven back by the llames. Ha tl.on
jumped Into the tug h'mself. '
Many Heroic Rescues.
Neither police nor firemen , when
they arrived , waited to remove their
coats or clothes but jumped over
board and saved a great many who
would otherwUo have drowned.
Many of those picked up nllvo In
the river will die in the hospitals
Most of them are frightfully butned
having delayed leaping from the
boat until their clothing was nn fire
Some died in the improvised aiubu
lances.
Every man on board who could
swim went overboard loaded down
with children , and many of these
heroes lost their lives because , burdened

Hold Full of Dead.
At the office of the United States
steamboat Inspection bureau It was
said the Slocum was Inspected May
5 , and reported to be in thoroughly
good condition and ready for the ex
cursion M'nson. Aboard the steamer
was all the life saving apparatus required >
quired by law for steamers of her
capacity. The Slocum's licensed cap *
tain is Captain W , H. Van Schaack ,
one of the oldest excursion captains
in New York harbor waters.
Many of the bodies recovered were
horribly burned. Wreckers say it
will be hours before the fire in the
hold of the boat Is burned out , when
the bodies can be recovered. Both
firemen and wreckers say the great *
egt loss of life , extending into hun
dreds , will be found In the hold.
Prom all that can be gathered uo
alarm was sounded when the flro was
discovered , but the crew tried to ox *
tinguish the flames without alarm
ing the passengers. Those In the af
ter portion of the boat did not know
it was on flro until the flames had
swept back on them. Then there was
nothing to do but jump overboard or
be burned to death.
Children Lashed to Floats ,
Many children picked up by small
boats were lashed to camp stools and
other light boat furnishings , showing
that some adult had tried to nmlio
the little ones safe. These precau
tions proved Inadequate In the tor *
rifle current and the whirlpools.
Very few of the chlldron picked up
