Grap x for Victims, As soon as possible after the ex- plosion the lighthouse tugboat Daisy went to the scene and began grap- pling along the bottom for the bodies of the victims, Pieces of wreckage |consisting of sections of the upper | works of the tug, the name board on the pilot-house and dunnage kits of the crew floated ashore With the ebb time on Staten Island about an hour after the wreck, Members of the crew of the Castle- ton said that the man they picked up was one Hanson, a deckhand. He was able to mutter his name in an interval of consciousness, but no fur- ther Information could be gained from him, The survivors were so frightfully burned and mangled that little hope is entertained for their recovery. The Kuper was 106 feet long, equipped with low pressure engines and presumably stanch and .sea- worthy. A tugboat of her size usu- ally carries a crew consisting of captain, mate, engineer, fireman, cook and two deck hands, When the fireman goes to his meals, one of the) deckhands is supposed to take his place in the fire room. The fireman relieves the engineer when he goes to meals, and the mate stands watch for the captain.
