Survivors of Volturno Fire! BY ENACTMENT OF THE (;UPA-l GERMAN LINER BRINGS 106 TO NEW YORK. STORIES OF HEROISM Second Officer Lloyd Went Out in Leaky Boat to Test Fury of Sea— Third Engineer Stuck to His Post. . New York, Oct, 15.—New York took in and sheltered today the first sur- vivors of the steamer Volturno to ar- rive in this country, 105 in number, brought into port by the Grosser Kur- furst, the North German Lloyd liner hat sent the first rescue boat careen- ing across the heavy seas that made so difficult the task of removing pas- sengers and crew from the burning ship. Caused by Exploding Che: The explosion of a drum containing chemicals was the cause of the fire, according to the siory told by Waldron Disselman, third officer of the Voltur no. Disselman gave a thrilling nar rative of the long hours spent on b fire-ridden ship, fighting the flames sustaining the crippled wireless plant, lowering lifeboats, quieting the panic stricken, stecring the vessel by hand to keep her from darifting—iighting the battle unaided because the waves were running (0o high for small craft from other ships to accomplish the journey to the Volturno's side. More than S0 passengers were burned to death when they were cut off by flames, Dissel- man reported, Ranking well up with the bravery displayed by Captain Inch of the Vol- turno were the feats of daring of sev eral of his officers, among them Sec- ond Officer Lloyd. While ten ocean liners manocuvred about the Volturno after darkness had settled on Thu da Captain Inch wirelessed: “We can’t stand this long. Our boats are gone. Send hoats. No rescue boats eame in response to Inch's wireless, Second Officer Lloyd's Daring Feat. Then Second Officer Lloyd measured up to the mark. Taking four men with him, he entered a damaged lifeboat, the Volturno’s last, and showed that the seas could be lived upon. Sec- ond Officer Von Carlsburg of the Gresser Kurfu: t told the story of how Llovd and his crew sei the exampie for the other ships. “Soon a light— it was Llovd’s pocket lamp—was seen dancing up &nd down on the top of the waves,” sald Von Carisburg, “and In a short time the Volturno's boat reached us, Second Officer Lloyd and his crew were in the boat and no soon- er had they boarded the Kurfurst than thelr boal sank, being nearly full of water. The trip had been an exper- imental one to see if it were possible for a small boat to live in the heavy sea.” Could Not Sce a Single Woman. “When we got alongside the Vol- turno,” said Second Officer Von Carls- burg of the Kurfurst, describing the first boat’s trip, heard screaming on board and I decided to keep away, for I figured that some of the panic stricken people might jump into our boat and upset it. I shouted to the officers of the Volturno to tell the people to jump into the sea and thew would be rescued. This advice was taken and we picked up man after man. When we ot back to our ship I found we had rescued 21 men. The fox- lowing morning I made two trips and rescued more. While we were at the Volturno's side I could not see a single woman. They all appeared fo be men.” Hero of the Engine Room. cond Officer Lloyd ri ed h ife in other ways than by his trip to the Kurfurst. “When the foremast threat- ened to topple it was Lloyd who climbed to the wireless plant and | mended it so that communication could be maintained with thé other ships. Descending, Lloyd fell twenty feet, wounding his forehead. This was be- fore he took his crew of four and entered the Volturno's last boat. Third Engineer Pinsch was another hero, refusing to desert the flame threatened engine room until he got ordérs from Captain Inch to do so. Then Pinsch donned his best uniform, pocketed I mariner’'s certificate and five sover- ns and jumped overboard. He wa rescued, Passengers told of some of the hor- | rors they say they witnessed.

Extreme Pressure Brought to Bear. Mr. Aldrich-said that “‘extreme pres- sure” was being brought to bear upon congress to enact th administration bi1ll, and that the reason given was that adoption of the bill was necessary to fulfil proraises made by the democratic party. He traced the history of the democratic party's attitude on the sub- oted Pre ject in earlier years and qu - dent Cleveland as saying that “the people of the United States are entitled to a sound and stable currency.” A Populistic Doctrine. “The theory that the United States should issue currency in the form of its promise to pay.” declared Mr. Aldrich, “is a populistic doctrine.
