As soon as it was seen that the steam- er was sinking, Capt. H. Spencer of the Metapan gsked the pllot who had Just come aboard the way to the near- ‘est shoal water, and the vessel was headed that way. He also ordered out the boats and without confusion of un-s due excitement everybody was taken off the steamier. Young Britishers;a Cool Lot. A party of six young Britishers on the way from Peru to England to join the army were on the Metapan. These young men, their fellow passengers say, proved to be among the coolest of the lot. As their boats, among the last to leave, was lowered from the davits they joined in singing “It's a Long Road to Tipperary.” Just as they ‘were set afloat one of the women pas- sengers was seen standing on the deck, apparently id to descend. One of the Englishm: Peter G. Heyworth, promptly climbed to the deck and, taking the woman on his back, siid down the falls to the lifeboat. Ship’s Deck Awash., Captain Besley had with him as the: result of six months’ work in the trop- ics a quantity of mineral specimens, motion picture films, blood tests of| trgpical diseases, etc., which he values highly. This collection, together with the baggage of the passengers, is still aboard the Metanan. Late reports were that she was lying partly on her side in about 20 feet of water with her decks awash. The derelict destroyer Seneca moved out to her tonight and remained standing by, as did several wrecking tugs sent out by the com- pany. Officers of the steamer declined to discuss the accident until after they had Teported to the officials of the United Fruit company in New York. Captain -and Crew Remain Aboard. Captain Spencer of the Metapan de- cided to remain on the ship tonight with the major portion of the crew, as the sea was calm and the steamer in no immediate danger. Tomorrow those of the crew who went ashore will re- turn to the stranded vessel and aid in the work of removing the cargo and repairing the damage to the steamer so that she can be refloated. Her offi- cers believe that a large proportion of her cargo, consisting malinly of banan- as and other frult, can be saved. The Metapan, one of the largest of | the United Fruit company’s fleet, was ! built in England, but recently her registry was changed from British to American under the new shipping laws. The Towan carries a general cargo of : about 5,000 tons destined for the Pacific coast by way of the Panama canal. Movements of Steams!
