TESTIMONY OF THOMAS Hd. MASSEY. Resides in Westmoreland couny, Va.; was a passenger on board the Waweset; after the boat left Liverpool point I lay down on the star- board side of the boat and fell asleep; some one woke me up and said, “ Friend, wake up, the steamboat 1s atire;” I looked upon it as a joke; I could see no smoke; almost an irstant there- after I saw the smoke and flame; went t> the hurricane deck and afterwards passed ty the forward deck; heard some one say they were arranging the hose to work on the fire; noticed the mate, captain and some of the deck hands ts and throwing water on the flames; the captain told = aes forward after the boat had grounded that it was time to get off; Capt. Woods was the last man on board: was on the starboard side of the boat, forward of the weeel, when the alarm was given, Q. Did yOu see any one attempt to man the pumps? A. No, sir, I did not; my impressionis that the fire originated under the forward gangway; this is orly my opinion; I can’t tell where it had ts Q long after the alarm was given was . do you think, before you saw the smoke and me A. I can’t tell—it all came together. Q.Did the officers do their duty? A. Yes; they did all they could have done. Q. What did they do? A. Well, the pilot headed her for shore, the men vsed the heaving lines and filled the buck- ets, and the captuin and mate both threw water on the filler ropes; the captain stood on the for- ward deck and ho lered until he couldnt “hol- low” any longer, to bring hoats in from the shore; don’t think if the boat had been stopped any lives would have been saved; I am so con- firmed in thas opinion that if Capt. Woods had stopped the boat I would have killed him, and would bave thought I wa: doing a justifiable deed; the bet thing possible to do was dune, and that was beaching the boat. Q. Did you see any Meglizence on the part of the officers or crew betore the alarm of fire? A. Not the least. Q. Were you at any time around the engine tome? s, before breakfast I was; the bar room little forward of the engine room door, on the Lips side; did not see any ef the officers drink at the bur; never saw the engineer at any time out of the reach of the engine; he was a man who seemed to be very attentive to his bus- iness; the boat wrs well supplied with life pre- servers; they were hanging up between the decks, some in racks, some piled on shelves, and 1 think some on the floor; they were easy ot ac- cess; nothing barred *he’ passengers from get- ting them, except preseuce of mind; don't think the officers had ture to distribute life preservers among the passengers; It would have bothered them considerably to have got round; don’: know how the life boat was tixed; there were davits there, but don’t know whether the boat was attached thereto or not; saw cranes there too; think the boat was hung on them; dou't know for certain; I wont swear to it. TESTIMONY OF CHARLES HEBRON. Am a farmer; reside in King George county, Md.; was @ passenger on board the Wawaact. Just before the boat got to Chatterton, I was standing with my daughter at the gangway to get off; very soon the alarm was sounded, and a Fush was made for the boat which was lowered to go to the landing; I got out of the way and went to the forward deck; I was assisted to the hurricane deck by Mr. Wheeler; as soon as the boat struck, I jumped overboard and swam ashore with my child; it wasonly a few minutes after the alarm w: + given before the boat was smothered with smoke; I saw Mr, Wheeler help two colored women to the hurricane deck; ssw none of the officers except Mr. Wheeler until ashore; saw po male passengers essist the adies; didn’t take notice; had all I wanted t> do to save myself and child; there were a good many passengers aft when i jumped overboard; am acquainted with the engineer; did not see ny time during the day over six feet ngine; never saw any of the officers in ‘com; did not see the engineer in or about the bar a life preservers in reach them hand; assist passengers, because I didn’t see any bat Mr. Wheeler; he assisted me, and others; when I jumped into the water I swam away from the boat, thinking it best to keep away from those pe Poy be the water;have no idea as tothe origin of the fire; the yaw! boat that was lowered was very much crowded; the passengers were very much excited; Mr. Gravitt, the mate, attempted to keep back the crowd, but could not; don’t think there were more than twenty in the boat; would hold more, but they tumbled in every way, head frst, backwards, and almost in any shape, so they got in; when the rope broke away in the bow, I saw I had no ehance to get ashore in a bost and jumped overboard; did not — apything like coal oil around the engine use. Q. From the time the boat was put a4rift une til the time you left the steamer how long was it to the best of your knowledge? A. Well, Idon't think it wasover three or four Wh a great many pas- sengers would have been saved, butin my Jatig- ment, and according to my recollection, the ofh- cers did not have the time. Q. If directly after the boat had been ent an effort had have been made to get the passengers forward a think they could bave been got- ten torw: A. No, sir; | made as good time as any body and the fire met me. TESTIMONY OF R. D. BECKLEY, COLORED. Reside in Alexandria; am a special agent in the Post Office department; was 4 passenger on the Wawaset; took je at Alexandria i f° to Cone river; the boat left Alexandria at f- teen minutes past seven; when I got to Smith's Point I went tothe bar to get a glass of beer; a.wer passing Smith's Point I went to the bar and gotanother drink; | turned to ay lett aud d'scovered smoke coming from over the sheat- ing on the boilers; a colored man soon after- wards ran through the boat and cried ‘Fire! Fire! Fire!” I went to the aft of the boat and told the ladies to keep quiet, the fire would soon be out; I then went up stairs to get my satchel and could vot return the same way I went up; Ithen went to the lower deck it a box; heard some one say ““ou't jump, wait until the boat stops;”” when the boat stopped running 1, in company with others, jumped ever. 2: ave you any idea of the origin of the re A.
