and as fast as they were brought ashore they wore fared for In the pavilions there The patients In the hospitals became almost Insane from fright and because of the terrible scenes they witnessed from their windows ItlTTZE HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN There was little hope that any of tho children who Jumped overboard could be saved The current nil along the course taken by the Gen Slocum 1 after she caught fire Is on a section of the river where not even a strong i swimmer can breast the currents Scores of little ones were sucked In by the whirlpools In Hell Gate A jsmn who went out from Astoria

duo to tho collapsing of tho heavy upper deck It fell with a crash soon after the lire started coming down on hot heads of the hundreds who were gathered In little frightened groups on the 7 I lower deck hue scene that followed was awful Dozens of women and children were crowded overboard and we could see them struggling In the water I The river was soon crowded with floating bodies Boats wero sent out from here to the rescue but they only picked up dead bodies I When wo first saw the steamer she was only ablaze in front and there was still some merrymakIng In the roar where the people didnt seem to knw anything of their danger They soon found out about It though for the flames spread with great rapidity Some jumped off as soon as the fire started but most of those It seemed to us who were thrown In the water were forced from the lower deck by the collapse of the upper nock 1 BURST OP FLAME FORWARD Thousands of people saw the start of the fire from the Astoria shore From the Bowery Bay Improvement Companys offices at North Beach the lire was seen and until RHtcrs Islam shut off the view many people watched it thlrough glasses They say that they first saw II little burst of flame In tno forward part of the steamer but rhat It spread rapidly and soon enveloped the entire boat They could dimly hear screams coming from the doomed boat but were too far away to render any assistance The boat as one masj ot flames when Rlkors Island cut off the view of those at North Beach In a few moments news of the frightful happening spread through the nelghorhood and pitiful scenes were witnessed on every corner Distracted mothers whose little ones were on the boat ran through the i treot8 toward the river wringing their hands In agony Many of tho women wore to nil Intents and purposes Insane and policemen were huriMed out to see that they did not leap Into the river Albert Kolb twentyone years old of No 743 East Two Hundred pud Second street who was on the Slocum but who
