McIntyre’s Assistant Testifies That He Did Not Give the Engineer Any Bell After Ship Stopped. RE e g The investigation instituted Thursday by Inspectors of Steam Vessels Bolles | and Bulger to fix if possible the blame for | the wreck of the steamer South Portiard | on the afternoon of October 19 off Cape Blanco, and to ascertain the truth of the charges made against Captain McIntyre for alleged criminal negiect of his pas- sengers and crew, was continued yesier- day afternoon. The accused captain was plainly un-| nerved by the rigid cross-examination he was subjected to, and more than once his | eyes filled with tears under the merciless | fire. Captain McIntyre testified that there i ervers and that | vers on ard | f that First Officer Bruce put them on. He said that the engines were not moving the | boat ahead, as the propeller was almost out of water, He admitted that he left the ship knowing that there were three ! men in the engine-room, and gave them | no orders to leave, but said that he told the mate to call them up. The captain said that the reason that he left the ship before all of the crew was off was that he wanted to save the mam crowd of the | passengers, who were ail in one boat. The move, he said, was planned during a | consultation with the frst mate. He | knew the shore off which he was wrecked | and considered himself better capable of landing the passengers than any one else. | First Officer Bruce testified that he had | been on watch the day of the wreck and that he had made no reckoning to ascer- tain the location of his vessel, but had determined it by sounding. Getting no bottom he considered that he was well off shore. Later in the day when he got sev- | enty fathoms he still made no reckoning | as to the vessel's whereabouts. The mate | sustained the captain in most of his tes- timony and stated that ke did not think that McIntyre left the boat through fear, | but in order to save the passengers. | Bruce’s testimony showcd that he actéd | { coolly and did ail in his power to save lives. He gave no bell for the ship to go ahead after stopping her at the time she struck and did not think that she she was moving through the sea at che time the boats were launched. | The first mate then described the launching and subsequent capsizing of the lifeboats, and his version of the story showed that the capsizing was due to a jammed rope and not to the fact that the steamer was going ahead, THE CAPTAIN’S STORY. The captain was first put on the stand. | He said that the ship was properly | equipped with life preservers, arranged as | follows in the bunks of each berth: | Fourteen in the forecastle, twelve in the | first cabin and thirty in the after space used as the steerage. He said there were six passengers in the steerage and six passengers and a child in the cabin. He | then described the launching of his boat | and the capsizing. The story was thus told by questions and answers: | ‘'Was the ship going ahead at the time?" asked the inspectors. Not at all, sir.” It the engines were running, why wasn't the ship moving ahead? FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1903, ject to terror. draftsmanship. GREATER FRISCO'S GREATEST PAPER GET NEXT SUNDAY’S CALL NOVEMBER I. With Schreyer’s Marvelous Picture “FLEEING FROM THE FLAMES” “FLEEING FROM THE FLAMES.” A wild, unreasoning panic often seizes upon men in the presence of danger, or even when danger is only imagined. Among the lower ani- mals the greater the intelligence they possess the more they are sub- It is said that elephants tremble at the sight of a mouse, and horses, which arc credited with more intelligence than most domes- tic animals, show more fear. In the picture of Adolph Schreyer, reproduced in The Call art sup- plement, there is vividly depicted a stampede of terror - stricken horses from a burning stable. In their blind gallop into the darkness they have crashed into a barrier and are plunging and struggling in confusion, some entangled in the splintered wood, while others crowd upon them. is a scene which gave the artist abundant opportunity for dramatic effect and vigorous action. He has also displayed his ability as a colorist. In its variety and richness of color the greatest merit lies, and its color makes this picture one of the artist’s masterpieces. Romantic tendencies are strong in all of Schreyer’s painting, and sentiment, color and effect were more important to him than accurate He possessed the power to express strongly what he felt more than the ability to depict truthfully what he saw. “Fleeing From the Flames” is owned by the Chicago Art Institute, and is included in the splendid collection bequeathed to the museum by the late Albert A. Munger in 1898. Reproduction of one other picture by the same artist, “The Arab Scout,” has been issued by The Sunday Call, and biographical notes have been published. ] @LL NEWSDEALERS AND TRAIN NEWS AGENTS SELL THE SUNDAY CALL.

He told of the trip down the coast the day of the wreck and said that the weather was very thick. “I took repeated sound- ings in the fog,” said Bruce, “but didn't make any reckonings of our position other than referring to the log,” he said. “Was it not a rule to make a reckoning when you went off watch?”’ was asked. es, sir.” Was it not more important that you should do this in foggy weather than in fair?” “Yes, sir. astern.” “You did not know by your reckoning how far off shore you were?"”’ “I got soundings at noon, no bottom, and concluded that I was well off shore. Captain Bolles then questioned him in regard to the reliability of the lead and line which he had been using for sound- ing and made him finally admit that it was not as rellable as the patent sound- ing tubes. Bruce further said he took the last sounding at 4 o'clock and got seventy fathoms. He had a lookout ahead, but he could not see more than a hun- dred yards ahead. “I think we struck on the outer sunken reef oif Cape Blanco, the reef to the westerly and southerly of the psint. We strick at 4:40,” he said. ‘When asked if he had noticed any dif- ference in the water just before the ves- sel struck or had noticed any kelp, he replied that he had not noticed any dif- ference until the moment she struck. According to the mate's story he ran from seventy-five fathoms into thirteen fathoms, the depth around the reef, in forty minutes. He fixed the speed at 7% knots and said that the jar was very light and he had no idea that it would do the damage it did. Bruce was then asked the following questions: ‘Do k that it had any idea that the -hlmfi danger l’nuduhld been specially on the lookout that you could have stopped in time? 3 BRUCE GIVES FACTS. {No, sir.”” . “You had mot at any time of the afternoon ‘made up your reckoning to ascertain where the -hu;qm ¢‘I|rt"h-?" *No, sir.” “Did the captain give #ou any reckoninz at noon the day of the wréck?"’ “He dld. ~He sald that we wers ten miles oft Arrigo and ten miles oft shore.’” PBruce then told that the ship struck on the port side just abreast the main- mast and struck but once. He sald that the crew never had any liteboat drill, but that the boats were swung regularly. Captain Bolles and M- T‘ulger again ex- amined the witness. 1 got my position by the log “She_was ahead and turned toward "'No. sir, was headed toward sea her engines were not going to my knowl- “Do_you know that they wers not going ahead?” “I o mot." “Did you £o onto the mavigator's bridge or give any bells after she truck ?** “No, sir.” “Did you tell the chief engineer to keep her going and you would run for the beach? “I did, but that was after the captain and Both /boats were | his crowd had left the ship. one_then. 57bid you have the painter made fast?" = “Yes, s'r, 1 made it fast myself and c: loose after the boat was loaded with pa: gers and passed a slip knot around the d and gave the rope to the sallor In the bow.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 3.—When the steamship Algoa sails from this port next week she will have stored away In her hold the largest flour cargo that ever leff the United States. It will amount to %,000 barrels and not only will be a record- breaker for Portland, but for the entire country. At present a steamer on. the Atlantic coast nolds first place. The whart at which the Algoa is load- ing was too small to hold all the flour that was put on board the vessel. The whart was packed to its full capacity with flour and after all of this had been put on the steamer she still had carrying capacity to spare. Several carloads mors of flour were required to complete the cargo. Until now the Indravelli of the Portland-Asiatic line held the record flour cargo taken from this port. She left hera for the Orient on September 2 of this year with 57,977 barrels of flour. —_——— Brig Tanner Is Again Afloat. PORT ANGELES, Wash., Oct. 3.—The brig Tanner is afloat and in the bay.
