Dreadful - sory Accuses All. 4 (Snsclal from @ Stam Correspondent.) : PROVIDENCE, R. 1., Feb. 14.—With-every-newschapter-imstheeac- count of the wrecking of the Joy line boat Larchmont comes:fresh in- . dictment:of Capt. McVay and thé officers and crew under him. Every one of (he terrible events that followed in the wake of the boat’s collision with the schooner Harry Knowlton is eloquent of the cowardice with whicly the commander and his men are charged, Capt. McNay himself admits that his. life-bogt ‘was one of the first, | If not the very first, to leave the sinking ship, Purser Young adds to this of frenzied passengers were struggling on the decks for'a chance to reach the boats. He says he’ could hear the cries of those who were left ‘be- hind, but-no effort was made to return to the ship and attempt to bring off_any.of them. McVay, who is but twenty- the United States Steamboat Inspectors. He is ke pee captain on | the Sound. 7 ety hehe is NOTA SINGLE CHIED aan =a Taking into reckoning the further fact that only two women of all | those on the boat are among the living to-day, additional color is lent to} the -aceounts-of the -horror-given-by the-few-surviving-passengers-and the} | ~—srfab-contession te statement that thay-deserted-the -ship--while-seores. ———ceeded-in-savnig_their—lives.—The_significance_of_these figures, Amplied-charges-of cowardice on the-part of the crew. Add to this: the | significant fact that not a single child got off the sinking ship, and the case against Capt. McVay and his: men is declared to be even more cons vincing. Ten of the total of nineteen survivors were members of‘ the crew, which numbered forty-five men, while out of a passenger list of some-: where between one hundred and fifty and two hundred only nine suc-' clared, cannot fail to add to the public feeling against the captain and crew. i It became known also that the crew pushed and: kicked _perishing women about with great brutality as they scrambled ; for the boats. It is meant thatthe investigation shall be carried” on with a view of attempting to punish the captain and-possibly some of his subordinates. Perhaps the. strongest arralgnment of the commander of the sunken steamer is that made_by Frederick Hiergesell, a fifteen-year-old boy, of | Richmond Hill, who jumped into a boat about to leave the sinking ves- sél; was capsjzed in her-and-saved his tife-by a long swim to the shore of | Block Island through the icy waters af the Sound, ‘This—lad;—who- retains -a—-vividly-clear—recollection -of every: event} connected with the disaster, from the time he was awakened -invhis:state- room by the crash of the collision, declares he saw what he alleges to he the cowardly desertion of the vessel.
