Many Had Taken Water Route on Account of Recent Wreck J at Wallingford. When the 260 passengers of the stranded Sound steamer Middletown reached New York to-day on the steamer Bridgeport of the Bridgeport and New Haven line it waslearned that instead of having rum aground o@ Norwalk harbor in e dense fog, as reported early this morning, the Middletown had struck the shoals fully two miles out ot ber course and in calm, clear weather, with the lights from all the neighboring shoals and points shining brightly as far the eye could carry. ‘given the officers of the rescuing steamer, from Capt. Joseph L. Han- court down, while loath to criticise fellow seamen and pilots, frankly ad: mitted that they could not understand how the Middletown got @o far out of her course under such weather condi. tiona “The Middletown atruck on one of the outlying islands off the harbor of Norwalk,” sald Capt. Hancourt. “She lying on the gravel beach between Peck's Ledge Light and Green's Point Light” CRAFT WAS TWO MILES OFF MER COURGE. \y@apt. Hancourt was at first disin- clined to answer the question as toh far off her course the Middletown was when she struck the shoals, ‘Well, she must have been @ couple of miles out of the way," he said re- luctantly. ‘‘@he struck aa unlighted island, and other ships have been caught there, too. I don't know how she got so far out, but you must understand that the slightest mistake in setting & course from a new point of departure means a wide mistake in a few miles. ‘At the offices of the Hartford line, owners of the Middletown, General Man- ager Noble declined to discuss tan ques- tion of responsibility >f tn accident un- til he had @ full report from Cupt, Hill of the stranded ateamer. “Capt. Hill je an old and mander," he sald, “We und weather was extremely thick whea the Middletown struck.” ‘Almost without exception the pas sengers of the Middletown questioned ‘by newspaper men declared that when they went on deck a few minutes after the ehip struck they found the night lights of Peok's Ledge, and other amore distant ‘@ wild scramble when the vessel hit the reef. She struck with @ lurching thud that apilled number ot passengers from thelr hs and awakened many others. These lost no time in jumping into some clothing and making for the deck, Those who slept through the shock of the grounding were aroused by stewards pounding on thelr stateroom doors.
