Davis , Jr. There was no Indication of fire about the xvomnn's clothing. ino nutmeg state , with over 100 persons on board , bound from Connecticut towns to New York , wai discovered on flre about 5SO : a. m. , when Itvas xxlthln a few mllcu of Sanda Point , N. Y. The names were In the bow of the boat. The flre was on the main deck and seemed to ibo a small affair , so Captain C. M. BroDks , not wishing to iccdlcsely alarm the passengers , ordered , ho crew called to work as quickly as pos- slblo with buckets and hose. For atout twenty minutes the flames did not socm to bo dangerous and the men ap- > oarcd to haxe them In control. Suddenly It jurat Into a furious 'blaze ' amldshlp. Bag- ; agoman Samuel Jaynes was detached from 'ho flre-flghtors and sent to alarm the pas- xngcrs and the crew In the front part of the 'boat. ' II < ! > oi-N Surrounded IijFlre. . The passengers In xariom titages of frenzy rushed from the state rooms to the upper deck. Life preservers were given them and many of the men assisted In putting them on tha womeji and children. By this time : he middle section of the Nutmeg State was burning fiercely and the people forward wcro cut off from these on the after part of the boat. This left the people on the after decks In a perilous situation , aa the lifeboats on the amldshlp davits were surrounded by flames and there were few of the ? crew in this section. Tho-boat was started for the beach at full speed. The drift sent the flre townrd the roar of the boat. The passengers In that part of the boat went as far back as possible , but were enveloped with black smoke and the flames wcro leaping toward them , threat ening In a few minutes to roast them ollxc. They huddled close to the rear rail in fear , waiting for the steamer to strike the beach. With n shock the Nutmeg State struck the rocky bottom , and the people seemed to shoot from every part of It. They tried to reach the lifeboats , xv'hlch had been launched from the forward pait of the ves sel. All ot the passengers were In the water In a few moments , but many mem bers of the crow had been Imprisoned in the forward part of the ship by tbo flames. There was no outlet In the thick sides of the boat except the small portholea , through which no man could squeeze. The first man to leave the burning steamer was Baggagemnster Jaynea , who gax-e the alarm. When the smoke and llamas forced him from nmldshlp , ho made a leap for the sea. In doing so , he struck his head against the guard rail and was stunned , falling Into the xvater helpless. A launch from the steam yacht Kismet picked lilm up nnd car ried him to the Kismet , where the bravo fellow died shortly after being taken aboard. The Nutmeg State had hardly struck the beach when several passing craft came to Its rescue , sent out lifeboats and picked up the patscugors struggling In the xvater , FiKlit Iliu-li Men and AVoillfll. When It became apparent that the Nut meg State was doomed to destruction the dozen or so of Us freight handlers are < nld to liavo taken possession of the first lifeboat launced. They fought back any of the men or xvomen who tried to get Into the bant and refused to take any of the children on the boat. When the passengers could not get this boat It doubled the demands on a sesond boat which was lowered , nnd n wild scram ble of the panic-stricken people ensued. This beat was overloaded nndoverturned. . It could not bo righted and the men , xvomen and children remained In the chilly water , clinging to the boat until help arrived from tbo passing craft. The tug boat Reed ran under the stern of the Nutmeg State and a number of pas sengers Jumped from the burning boat to its decks Then the tug went forward and made an attempt to save the Imprisoned men In the crow quarters. The heat was so In tense that It drove the tug away and It turned Its attention ngaln to picking the people from the water. It made another attempt forward and the men chapped away some of the woodwork nt the bow of the burning boat. Two firemen were raved , but the balance of the crew were probably suffocated nnd could not crawl out of the hole. It IE now believed seven men on the Bridgeport boat were burned to death below In their quarters forward. The paesengcra and remains from the boats wcro placet ! on tln > City of Lawicnco and the body of Baggagcmnster Jaynes was con veyed to the- Hartford liner , \\lilch pro ceeded on Its day to this city. Tbo excitement was euch at the time of the abandonment of the- burning vceel thnt no positive statement as to the exact number of persons who perished can bo obtained from , the ofllccra of the boat or from any of the persons rescued. No record of those on board was kept by the puner because the United StaUrt navigation laws do not require coastwise crnft making regular trips ot leas than 100 miles to take a list of passengers. The Nutmeg State XVMJ a wooden propeller ot a little over 1,000 tons , and for the last seven years hag carried freight and passen gers between Connecticut towns and this city It carried a largo quantity of miscel laneous freight which was all dcutrojcd. There was a large consignment of cartridges In the hold and when the flames reached them they began to explode and continued firing for come time. The boat vras valued at $70.000. $ HARBOR BEACH , Mich. , C > et. H. The steamer W. P Kctchnm rnn down the little | schooner Tjpho In Lake Huron today.
