The Captai Story, Capt. Jenson told the story of the aw- ful catastrope. Eleven men, who were in the forecastle, he sald, were reeting, Five had been Injured by being thrown @gainst dock fixtures by the waves, and nearly all of the eleven wore suf- fering from frost btes, a “About 11 A, M. on Christmas Day," he sald, I was on the poop, Nansen was at the wheel, Tjar was aft, and the mate and boy were asleep, The others ‘were also aft, Suddenly there came a fumbling sound and then followed a ‘burst of flames which leaped high into the air, The mainmast fell. There was @ westerly wind at the time, and imme- lately after the explosion and the terr!- ble burst of flame wo swung the ship @round so that the wind blew over our @tern, carrying the flames from us, “It seemed as though the bowela of tes ship, timber and all else, shot into @ air, Our unfortunate men forward ‘we never saw again, Faint cries for help we heard, but tt was impossible even to think of rendering them as- sistance, and after that terrific belch of flame no human voice was heard. Following the explosion the flames seemd to die down for a minute, ‘nd then came a steady burst fire, ‘which swept the ship from abaft amid- whips to the bow. Dense smoke arose, Had Not Sighted a Vessel, ‘hose of us who were fortunate enough to have escaped the deluge of fire, gathered in the stern awalting what ‘we believed was almost sure death, We had not sighted a vessel since leaving New York, and all the men knew that their only chance for life lay in the op- rtune arrival of some craft, The es seemed to be coming down upon us rapidly. Ten minutes after the ex- plosion another mast fell, Then we had to leap into the water,’ a BIG AVALANCHE OF ROCKS FILLS FOUR BACK YARDS.

He sent bo Bille Island to-day two of his deputies, to eee if arrange- ments could not be made for record- ing the names and ages of all the chil- dren of immigrants arriving here In the future, Acoording to Mr, McMack- in, dne of the hardest nuts to crack in the whole ‘‘child labor’ question is the tendency of parents to perjure themselves regarding the ages of their children, For the 82 or $8 a week their doyw and girls can earn, fathers and mothers are ever willing to swear that their children are sixteen years old, and, though the inspectors are morally certain the affidavits are false, there 4s no way of disproving them, Hundreds of children are working to- day in local factories who the Labor Department is convinced are under legal age, but, being protected by parents’ aMdavits, the department is powerless to discharge them and send them back to school. By recording the names and ages of children when they come into the country, ‘the Commipsioner be- Neves he would establish” a check to false affidavits, In inspecting a Broadway artiflolal flower factory yesterday, Inepector William W, Walling, who was #ccom- panted by an Evening World reporter and photogranher, discovered one vio- lation of the labor law and another case which, in his opinion, demanded invea- pation, Two Typical Canes, Dorel Mascolo, a rosy-cheeked little Ttallan boy, Hving at No, 815 Bowery, and whose appearance and actions showed that he had never seen six- teen, was found working at one of the tables, ironing violets. “How old are you?" asked Mr, Wall- ing, stepping up to the lad, “Fourteen,” was the prompt reply. “Have you @ Health Board industrial certificate?” “Nope.” “Then you can't work in a factory, Send this boy home at once," continued Mr, Walling, turning to the foreman, “and employ no more children unless they can prove to you that they are elxteen years old or unless they ‘have a oe company ing pict ff young 1@ ACCON ying picture of yo! Mascolo was taken just before he left his bench to go home, In another part of the shop a prety little gir, wearing short dresses and busily engaged !n mixing paint, attracted the attention of the visitors, “How old are you?’ queried the in- spector, "Sixteen last December,” replied the miss Unheaitatingly. “And how long have you been work- ing here?” “Seven months,” “Then you were only fifteen when you came to work and you were employed Mlegally. You may be aixteen now, but you don't look it, and ‘before you start working to-morrow morning you must bring an affidavit from your parents stating that you are of legal age.
