THE TIMES NEW UL00MF1EL1), PA.. JUNK 22, 1880.
A Sad Calamity Two Steamers Collide.
At a lute hour on Friday tilglit the lHu
lust., tlio steamboat Narragansott was run
Into by tlie Htonlngtou, another boat of the
came lino, and tbo former boat sunk In a
few minute. The night was very foggy,
which is the excune for tho collision.
IJutte a number of lives were lost. The
following account told by Mr. Dennett, one
of the snvvlvors, gives a pretty f.tir Idea of
the horrors of the occasion.
" I was on my way to South Attleboro,
Mass., and took passage on the Narragan
sett. I was sitting In a chair In the pas.
sage way between staterooms Nos. 03 and
40wbenthe oollislon took plaoe. The
other vessel must have struok our boat just
outside of stateroom No. 85, which is for-,
ward of the wheels. A man rushed out
from that room covered with blood, and
there were a uumber of others lu that and
the adjoining staterooms. The whole sido
of the vessel at that point seemed to be
crushed in, and many of the occupants of
the rooms must have been thrown into the
water and killed. I ran tc the stern of the
vessel, aud ou looking ovor the rail I saw
live women and several men struggling lu
the water.
Men and women rushed out of their
rooms with nothing but their night clothes
on them shrieking wildly. Borne of tho
oflloers and a few of the cooler passengers
tried to allay the excitement, and assured
the passengers that there was no danger.
Home of them went to their staterooms
and put on their clothes, but the alarm aud
excitement became wilder and wilder when
the cry that the steamer was on fire went
up. All the lights were put out by the
shock of the collision, and the darkness
made the confusiou worse. I secured a
life-preserver, and as I did not know how
to put it on, I asked a Baloon passenger if
he knew how to work it. " Yes," he re.
plied, "I will show you," and taking the
life-preserver he ran off with it. I follow
ed him and we had a tussle for tho bolt,
but he gave me a blow in the fnoe and
knocked me down. When I got up he was
JS9U3.
I then went where the other life-preserv-cr.i
ware kept, and as they were high up
out of reach, I asked two passengers to
lift me up aud I would hand down tbo
belts. By this time there were fifty per
sons around us. I threw the life-preservers
one by one among thorn and kept the
last one for myself, but I no sooner got ou
my feet than several men rushed at me and
tore the preserver from me. I came near
being trampled to death.
I then ran off again, and just then a
small raft was thrown into the water. I
swung myself down by the Bide of the ves
sel and got on board of it. The officers
and men tried to get the large raft over
board, but it was lashed down too tightly,
aud tho job was given up. In a few min
utes there were about twenty-five persons
oh the raft with me, and as the vessel was
npattv vuull nn fii. hv t.Ma ftma wn ftlmvAft
i"v'"; j - --
off.
It was almost providential that the
fcteamcr took fire, because by the bright
light everything could be plainly seen, and
great numbers were picked up from the
water who, but for the flames, would never
have been seen. As our raft floated away
from the steamer, we picked up 11 women
whom we found struggling in the water.
We came across a young girl and her
brother struggling together for life, and
we were about taking the girl ou board,
when she cried out, "Don't mind me take
up my brother first." She was a brave girl
aud we saved them both. We were now
more than a quarter of a mile away from
the burning vessel, and the fierce flames lit
up the whole sea for miles around with a
bright red light.
Our raft was now too heavily loaded and
there was great danger of our being all
lost, four of us Jumped into the water and
held on by the edges of the raft until we
were almost numb.' Then we were takeu
up on the raft and four more took our
11 aces in the water. We kept this up un
til a boat came alongside and took off the
13 women we had on the raft. Then we
were all right and paddled along to where
the Stoniogton lay. When about half a
mile from the burning vessel we picked up
a very old man, and in another minute he
would have gone down. At last, after be
ing about an heur and a half on the raft,
we got alongside the Btonington and were
hauled up ondeok. The only man who
ttaved anything from the wreck was a Jew
who scrambled on the raft with a carpet
bag in his hand.
1 was rubbed down for half an hour and
then put in a bed. A man about thirty
eight years old was brought in soon after,
and he died in a short time. We remained
on the Btonington about two hours, and
then were transferred to the city of New
York. The company gave me a ticket to
my destination by another line, but they
refused to give me any money.
As it was t lain to see that Dennett was
really hungry, a little assistance was given
iiun by the reporter, ana be went to Castle
Harden, where Superintendent Jaoksjn saw
lie was well treated.
" now many persons do you mink , were
lost f" he was asked.
" Well, I should say that there must be
fully one hundred that have cone down.
aw a nnrubei' of young children and babies
in toe water aud 1 know tney were lost.
heard that two men shot themselves on
board the Narragansett when the collision
occurred."
