BURNING VICTIMS LEAP FOR LIFE
Captain In EndcaTor to Save Ht
PaiieoKert Beached the Blaaslns
Boat on a North Brother Island
Shoal The Wreck Pall of Burned
and Drowned Women and Children.
NEW YORK, June 16. One of the
most appalling disasters in the history
of New York, tragic in its immensity,
dramatic In its episodes and deeply
pathetic in the tender age of most of
its victims, took place in the East river
at the entrance to Long Island sound,
within a short distance of the New
York shore and within sight of thou
sands of persons, the majority of
whom were powerless to minimise the
extent of the catastrophe.'
By the burning to the water's edge
of the General Slocum, a three decked
excursion steamer, the largest in these
waters, more than 600 persons, the ma
jority of whom were women and chil
dren, were burned to death or drowned
by Jumping overboard of; by being
thrown into the whirlpools by the
lurching of the vessel.
Within a few hundred feet of the
spot where the Seawanhaka was burn
ed to the water's edge , in 1880 this
similar disaster has resulted in a
greater loss of life.
The Slocum caught fire in midstream
soon after passing Hell Gate and, with
flames sweeping 'over her decks, ran
up the East river to the shore of North
Brother island, where she was beachedj
Hundreds of Sunday school children',
with their mothers, friends and teach
ers, Jumped overboard and were
drowned. Many more fearing to leap,
were consumed In the fire. Others in
the huddled multitude on the lower
decks were crushed by the collapse of
the hurricane dectT after the flames had
eaten away the supports. It may nevet
be known how many remained ' in the
seething hulk or were carried away by
the tide and left to settle in the river
bed half a mile above.
' Coroner O' Gorman has reported that
408 bodies had been recovered. Of
these 486 were examined and tagged
by him at North Brother island. The
others were taken from Biker's island.
The value of the money and jewels re
moved from, the bodies was fully $200,
oool ' '
Many of those present at the destruc
tion of the steamer believe that fully
800 or 400 persons whose bodies have
not been recovered lost their lives. The
list of missing runs even above these
figures, and . the number of lives lost
may not be accurately determined for
several days. s
Passengers who were saved have
made specific accusations that the life
preservers were so rotted by age that
they fell apart in their hands and were
practically worthless.
Scathing arraignment of the alleged
lack of discipline of the crew and of
the bad condition of the emergency
fire hose and the life preservers has
been made by John Holthusen, the ven
erable sexton .of St Mark's church. ,
Captain William H. Van Schaick
said:
"I did the best I could. I ordered
Van Wart to, beach her, and we start
ed for shore at One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
street. But the shore there is
lined with rocks, and I was afraid we
would founder. There the captain of
a tug warned me off. He shouted that
the steamer would set fire to the oil
tanks and the lumber. Then we start
ed for North Brother island. My cloth
ing and hat were burning when I jump
ed Into the water. 1 ,
"Van Wart and Weaver got off ahead
of me. I Jumped through the flames
on the starboard side. I hit the bot
tom and hurt my leg. Some nurse
tielped me on the bank, and then the
domjnie grabbed me. 'Thank Gpd,
you're safe!' he said. One of the deck
hands came up and kissed me."
Here , the aged, white haired man
broke down, and tears coursed down
his cheeks. "I can't tell you how it
happened," he said.
Four hundred and ninety -eight bod
ies have been recovered and are now
being tagged at the morgues of Belle
vue hospital and Harlem. Divers are
still busy taking bodies from the hold
of the vessel, which, they say, is
choked with bodies, and hundreds who
leaped or were thrown into the river
have not been recovered.
The General Slocum, which was the
largest excursion steamer in these wa
ters, left Third s-eet, East river, at
9:i& o'clock in the morning, having on
board the annual Sunday school excur
sion of St. Marie's German Lutheran
church, Sixth street. Her destination
was Locust Grove, one of the many re
sorts on the sound. The excursion was
in charge of the Rey. George C. F.
Haas, pastor of the church. The ves
sel was commanded by Captain Wil
liam Van Schaick, one of the best
known excursion boat captains in New
York barber, who has commanded the
General Slocum almost since she. was
buih in 1891. The number of excur
sionists on board Is variously estimated
at from 1,500 to 2,500, but according to
an official statement issued by the
Knickerbocker Steamboat company the
number of passengers was 878, that
being one-third of the vessel's licensed
capacity.
The steamer .proceeded up the East
river, eac-S 7 r decks being crowded
with merrymakers, with bands playing
and flags flying. The Slocum had
ows off Orie' Hundred and Tliirty-flf til
street, which Is at the extreme eastern
end of Randall's Island, when fire
broke out in a lunch room on the for
ward deck, caused by the overturning
of a pot of grease. A high wind fanned
the blaze into instant fury, 1 .
Efforts to subdue the fire were futile,
and word was sent at once to the cap
tain, who started to land the steamer
at One Hundred ' and Thirty-fourth
street.
'He was warned, however, that the
boat would set fire to- lumber yards
and oil tanks there and changed the
Slocum's course, heading her for North
Brother Island, half a mile away. The
flames had- now" broken out all along
either side of the steamer and were
fanned by a strong head wind. The
passengers, seized with panic, rushed
to the rear of the vessel to escape the
heat and the smoke that were constant
ly Increasing. Policemen and deck
hands aboard the boat struggled hard
to quiet the panic, but their efforts
were unavailing. The wild disorder in
creased as frantic mothers sought to
find their children, who had &een at
play about the decks.
'The steamer's whistle was blowing
for assistance, and tugs and other
nearby- craft answered to the call. Be
fore any of the boats could reach the
burning steamer, however, the frantic
women and children began to Jump
overboard. The current was strong,
and there are many whirlpools In the
channel. The boats that were follow
ing the Slocum picked up many from
the water, but these were only a small
number of those that were seen strug
gling in the swift current.
On the Slocum the first sweep of the
flames cut off escape from the hurri-.
cane deck, where a great many of the
women and children were crowded to
gether, and soon burned away the
light woodwork, which supported the
deck. It is thought that most of those
who were on this deck were burned.
As the fire increased the struggle to
gain a point of vantage at the stern
became frightful. Women and children
crowded against the' after rail until it
gave way, and hundreds were pushed
off into the river. After this there was
a steady stream of those who jumped
Or were thrown into the "water. The
tugs and small craft following after
kept close 'within the wake of the Slo
cum and rescued all of those who came
within reach of their crows. Few of
those who were saved had on life pre
servers. At no time during the prog
ress of the fire was there any oppor
tunity to either lower the lifeboats or
get the life preservers out from under
neath the seats. Through all the wild
panic the officers and men of the blaz
ing boat stayed at their posts.
Women went literally insane at once.
Some had allowed their, little charges
to be separated from them, and in that
'frantic mob there was no chance for
reunion. Men, maddened by v fear,
trampled down women and children to
get to the sides and leap overboard.
"To most of the terrorized multitude it
was but a choice of death that offered.
To stay on board meant the awful
certainty of being burned alive. To
take to the water meant for all but a
few the certainty of death by drown
ing. At the point where the steamboat
was beached is a high stone wall which
made it Impossible for those who were
In kthe water to climb out on land.
They swam, such as could, round and
round in a vain effort to gain a foot
hold somewhere.
The engineer of the locomotive of
the gas company at " Lawrence point
says that when he saw that the Slo
cum ww afire he blew his locomotive
whistle, signaling to the captain of
the burning vessel to put in at that
point.
The -Slocum's . captain, however, ei
ther did not hear the whistle or for
some reason decided tha.t it was better
to beach the vessel on North Brother
island. . ( i. " .
Had the Slocum been beached at
Lawrence point a thousand willing
hands would have been ready to as
sist in the work of rescue, as there
were hundreds of men at work along
the shore at the time.
It was reported that George Conklln,
chief engineer of the General Slocum,
had been burned to death at his post.
The Slocum got within fifty feet of
the northwest point of North Brother
Island and there stopped in the shal
low water. Just before beaching, the
hurricane deck, the supports of which
had burned away, fell with Its lead of
women and children, adding to " the
panic and horror of those on the deck
below. Very soon after parts of the
second and third decks , also caved in.
But before this, happened the tug Wal
ter Tracey had come alongside the
burning steamer and been lashed to it.
Many of the passengers were taken off
by the crew of the Tracey, which re
mained alongside the steamer until the
tug's pilot house took fire.
For hours the bodies of the burned
and the drowned drifted ashore on the
Island and between One Hundred and
Thirty-first an One Hundred and
Thirty-eighth streets in Manhattan.
Some came ashore still alive. . Many of
these died, while others will recover.
The pastor, Rev. G. C. F. Haas, lost
his wife and daughter. His mother-in-law,
his sister-in-law and her daughter
were also among those who perished.
Herbert S. Nulson, an employee of
the De La Vergne Refrigerator com
pany, said that he was working in a
tower in the company's factory at the
foot of East One Hundred and Thirty
eighth street when a fellow employee
called: " - ,
"Here comes a big boat up the river,
and I believe she's on fire."
"I looked down the river," said Nul
son, "and saw this steamboat, which
I was sure then was the General Slo
cum. The flames were just beginning
to make headway when I first saw her,
and by the time she came opposite us
I could see that her decks were crowd
ed with women and children, Who be
gan to jump into the water. I was
certain then that Athe captain would
come to land at the foot of East One
Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, as
It seemed the only logical thing for
him to do; It was a straight short
course. But no, for some reason he
kept out in the river and headed for
North Brother island.
