peeped -lioni raincoats along the
bore rails as those aboard waved
rood dye to fro nds on shire waiting
to board the oilier vessels,
1 lien the passengers swarmed to
the left side of the hiilp as the other
steauierp drew up Pie river toward the
l;arf. A tug was bitched to the Fast
hind, ropes were ordered cost off and
the engine begun to pump. The F.ast
lund had not budged, however.
Ropes Ensp it Veesel Lurches.
Instead the heavily laden vessel wa
vered sidewlse, leaning first toward
the river bank. The lurch was so
startling that many passengers Joined
the largo concourse already on the
other side of the decks.
The ship then heeled back. It turn
ed slowly but steadily toward its left
side. Children clutched the skirts of
mothers and sisters to keep from fall
ing. The whole cargo was impelled
toward the falling side of the ship.
Water began to enter lower port holes
snd the ropes snapped off the piles to
which the vessel was tied.
For nearly five minutes the steamer
turned before it finally dived under
the swift current of the river, which,
owing to the drainage canal system,
flows from the lake. During the
mighty turning of the ship with Its
cargo of humanity, lifeboats, chairs
and other loose appurtenances on the
decks slipped down the sloping floors,
ensiling the passengers toward the
rising waters.
Many Go CWn Never To Rise.
Then there was a plunge, with a
sigh of air escaping from the hold,
mingled with the crying of children
and shrieks of women, and the vessel
was on the bottom of the river, cast
ing hundreds of Its passengers Into the
water. Many sank, entangled with
clothing and bunules, and did not rise,
but scores came to the surface, giving
the river the appearance of a crowded
bathing beach. Many seized floating
chairs and other objects. Those on
shore threw out ropes and dragged In
those who could hold their lifelines.
Boats were put out, tugs rushed to
the Bcene with shrieking whistles, and
many men snatched off their coats and
sprang into the river to aid the drown
ing. With thousands of spectators
ready to aid and the wharf within
grasp, hundreds went to death, de
spite every effort at rescue.
Cause of Accident Sought at Once.
Moves toward sweeping investiga
tions of the disaster were under way
long before the bodies had been taken
from the hull of the overturned vessel.
Federal Judge Landis ordered a
Jury impaneled to investigate the ca
tastrophe. Slate's Attorney Hoyne
prepared for a county grand Jury. Cor
oner Hoffman selected a jury to look
Into the cause of the deaths, and the
police arrested all the officers of the
Eastland.
The probability of swelling the list
above 1000 was suggested by the an
nouncement of detectives from the
state attorney's office that they had
seized the tickets taken from passen
gers boarding the Eastland. They as
serted that these tickets numbered
2250 and that this did not account for
children, musicians and the 72 men of
the crew. They estimated that the
total number of persons aboard the
steamer might have been 2800 or more
Instead of the 2480 previously an
nounced by officers of the Indiana
Transportation company.
