the commander of the Gen Slocum. said that the captain did not know the cause of the fire. "The cause of the fire Is not known," said he. "I say that, because no investigation has been begun. The government will undoubtedly begin an investigation.

The captain is under arrest. and it would be inadvisable for him to make any statement at present. but he told me that he and the first and second pilots. Edward Van Wart and E. H.

Weaver, were in the pilot house until the Slocum was beached. Then they jumped directly from the pilot house into the water. The captain hurt his leg and may require an operation. The two pilots were practically uninjured and assisted in saving life. They were all In the wheelhouse until the last." "Was the boat under steam all the time?" Mr Hill was asked.

"It has been said that the pilot house was deserted and the boat drifted with the tide until she ran aground." "The steam was on until the boat struck. The engineer. Frank Conlin. told me that he was in the engine room until the boat struck. The current was on the flood and could not have carried the boat to the beach.

It would not have been possible to have beached the boat earlier. for there is no shallow water nearer than North Brother island. "If the boat had been run alongside the piers or pushed on the rocks on the main land she might have sunk, as the water is deep along there, and more lives would have been lost." The captain said that the first he knew of the tire was when he was Old of it through the tube by someone below. The Slocum was then off the Sunken Meadow. He took the boat to the nearest place where she could be beached.

"Was anything done toward fighting the fire?" "The mate had charge of the firefighting, and we don't know where he is. Tile inunpg were going, and there 111, panic among the crew?"
