SINKING OF THK VK8TKI8 Tragedy of Bra -108 Lives I>oet?Captain Wan Derelict New York, Nov. 14.?Two shiploads of survivors of the Lamport and Holt liner Vestris arrived today to unfold detail of one of the moat horrible of mailt.me disasters. r An offtciul inquiry has been ordered, billed upon their almost unaitimou charges of inefficiency, indecision and delay against Captain William I Carey and his crew. I Hi- ^persed in n^ ratives of heroism and of brutality- of narrow escape and of suffering invariably appealed assertions that if proper steps had been taken by the ship's executives and crew, most, if .not all of the J 08 now dead would be alive. Kvi-n with the SOS call too long delayed, efficient handling of the vestris' life saving equipment by those responsible would have brought most of the 108 out of danger, declared survivors today?48 hours after the I Vestris plunged off Virgina, These are charges that the United States district uttorney, Tuttle, announced thnt he would begin to investigate tomorrow, but Carey himself will never be called to answer them. h or after seeing the women and children under his care dumped into a boiling sea from shattered lifeboats, his passengers and crew leaping into the waves from the foundering ship and feeling the bridge on which he. stood sinking beneath his feet, Captain Carey, one of his stewards said, jumped into the water without a life beit, though there were plenty to be had. Of the 126 survivors brought in on the American Shipper 41 were passengers and 84 cnew; of the 23 on the Berling, which docked at almost the same time, 18 were crew and only five passengers. The composite story of the passengers, reduced to its essentials, is as follows: Saturday last the Vestris, 16-year old oraft on which ( aptain Carey was making his last trip before assuming command of the newer Voltaire as commodore of the Lamport and Holt line, sailed for the Barbados apd South American ports with 129 passengers and a crevy of 19. There were 37 women on board and 13 chil dren. That very night the ship ran into n "* I MASTERS SALE' State of South Carolina, County of Kershaw (Court of Common Pleas) Congaree Fertilizer Company, plaintiff, against R- Cooper Jr., and Marv CoopeWilkinson, individually and as Executor and Executrix of the Last i Will and Testament of R M Cooper, Sr., Netta Cooper McEachern, Virginia Cooper Miller, Rosa Cooper .Manning, R.

W. L D^ASS, JR., J. Hjj, . , 1 1 blow that steadily increased to gale force. The ship had a general cargo of (1,000 tohs, cloth and automobiles and fruit and machinery and oil bulk lend, and it rolled sluggishly in the gathering swells. During the night a definite list to starboard developed, and when the pa-M ngers awoke Sunday, they found tlduj) hove to and tipping in a way' thai M-eintd to them to indicate ser-j inu> danger. T.a-re was no panic, hut they asked what was wrong and asked again as the list of the ship increased. Offici" ? and stewards passed among them living that there was no immediate danger, 11 iid fears were temporarily rt nfted. Hut during Sunday'the ship tipped so much that the waves were running along the rail on the promt-nude deck. That was the time, passengers insisted today, that the distress call should have been sent out and not in the middle of Monday morning as it W1I8. The captain seemed calm, they said then and until the very end, but he was like a man who couldn't make up his mind. There was little sleep Sunday night, and early Monday morning all passengers were called on deck. The storm that Saturday beat over the .-hip und washed the furniture right out of the dining salon had abated, but a high sea was running, and the ship seemed almost on its side. At 10 o'clock Captain Carey ordered the SOS, a calL to ships, none of which was nearer than 100 miles, and soon after gave the order to abandon ship. And then there came a scene of horror that the survivors will not forget in all their lives. The order was women and children first, the law of the sea, and two boats were filed with them. But survivors said that the crew seemed inexpert in getting the boats lowered. For two hours the women and children swung from the davits as the boats were lowered inch by inch, swinging with the sluggish lurch of the ship. Suddenly the ship wallowed in a trough deeper than any before, and the two lifeboats were cracked like eggshells against the ship's side. The , boats broke open 16 feet above the , water and poured their human con- 1 tents into the sea. In the list of survivors there are the names of but ten of the 37 women who sailed on the Vestris and the name of not a single ohild. By that time the Veatris was sinking rapidly. Two boats were successfully launched, but a hole was stove in one, and it put off patched with a piece of tin, to sink before it had S'one 100 feet. Other boats carried about 80 persons. About 60 had been dumped from the broken boats. The rest began leaping from the rails and swimming for their lives lest suction drag Ihem to their deaths when the vessel sank.
