The victims bad no chance to es cape. Hundreds of women and chil dren were below dock, hinging and laughing, as the boat pulled out. Sud dently the boat careened, turned tur tle, her upper works falling over away from the dock, and hurling her whole deckload out Into the middle of the river. Hundreds of friends of the picnick ers who lined the docks and Clark street bridge screamed with horror as the big vessel went down. Scores of men with wives and babies aboard hurled themselves into the water and made ft r the doomed ship in an effort to sove loved cnes. Several perished while attempting acts ol heroism. ' Captain H. Pederson, commander of the vessel, and the ship's purser were arrested. They were taken to the city hall, followed hy a frenzied mob of excited relatives and friends of the victims. Cries of "kill the rats." and "let's lynch 'em." filled the air.

Police anc" fireboats were first to reach the scene, and the rescue work was started Imuicd'ately. Scores of tugs then hurried up. Hundreds were pulled from the water and scores of others were iestve.1 as they crawled from portholes. In the vessel's hatches, where a number of women and children had talien refuge, there were screams and pleas for help. Men were driven In sane by the pathos of the scene, and several, raving lunatics, were locked up by the police. It Is not known Just how many were trapped below decks. TWO SWEDISH VESSELS TAKEN.

I shouted orders to open the Inside doors nearest the dock and give the people a chance to get out. The boat continued to roll, and shortly afterward the hawsers broke and the steamer turned over on Its side and was drifting toward the middle of the river. "When she went over, I Jumped and held on to the upper side. It all hap pened in two minutes. The cause is a mystery to me. I have sailed tha lakes 25 years and previous to that sailed on salt water 12 years and this 8 the first serious accident I ever had. I do not know how it happened." BOY HURT WHILE SWIMMING.
