i LINER GOES DOWN. COLLISION IN ICY WEATHER. SURVIVORS FROZEN TO DEATH. ¿ (Renter's Special Telegram.) Block Island (Rhode Island), Tuesday.— tTbd Joy Line steamer Larchmont, of 1,696 tons, was sunk early this morning as the fcesolt of a collision with the three-masted echoocer Harry Knowleton. Many pas- sengers were drowned and others frozen to tleath. According to an estimate made at two m'dock this afternoon, only nineteen of the 'ISO passengers and the thirty members of th<e crew of the Larchmont survived the dis- aster. Or those saved, eight were pasen- gers, six being men and two women. The rest were members of the crew, among them being the captain. TEKRIBLE STORY OF PASSENGERS' PRIVATIONS. New York, Tuesday.—A despatch from Watch Hill, Rhode Island, says that in de- BCTibng his experience Captain Frank Haley, of the Harry Knowleton, stated that des- perate work at the pumps alone 5av,ed tae lives of the schooner s crew. Captain Haley had no knowledge as to the damage done to the Larchmont, which appeared to I iCOIltinue her way westward. r I shaJl never understand," ne said, t how the accident occurred. The night f was dark, but starry, and the weather was not thick. Long before the collision we ? sighted the Larchmont as she steamed stea- dily westward. We spoke of the picture I &he made, all lighted up. Then we saw v that the steamer seemed to be heading di- rectly for us. I expected the steamer to v torn, but she kept right on. .• •" Some of us shouted a warning, and one i. member of the crew blew a horn constantly, s-1 scarcely knew what to do. I did not ? dare to tack because I thought the steamer I "would turn. Finally she went right ahead, i aod- ihere was nothing to do but p to hit her." i Captain MeVey, of the Larchmont, has t,; telephoned to the officials of the Joy Line ij here that the Larchmont sank within ten mianteS of the coHision. After cruising f in a smail boat- in an icy gale from eleven t' o'clack last night until eight this morning, he landed on Bloak Island. Close behind his boat came another, bringing fifteen dead [ and eighty dying passengers, victims of the f cold. f CRAZY SEAMAN CUTS HIS THROAT. ( Cart. McVey, of the Larchmont, describ- I ingtJie experiences of the crew in the lirst I boat that was launched, says: — "The boat was a heavy one, and we found it impossible to row windward, so we turned to leeward and started for Block Wand. The cold was terrible, and our froet-bitten hands felt almost unbearable. One of our men, a seaman, became crazed, aod conunitted suicide in the boat by cut- ting his throat. No one had strength enough to prevent him."
