Touraine had trans formed the first cabin into a nursery for the little ones. It was believed all would be adopted immediately,, several by passengers orf the French Jiner. ' La Touraine got mere than Its'share of the very young? among; the Volturno'a survivors. V The first lifeboat It sent to . the burning; . vessel brought back .seven Infants. Six; tot them were crying, but one, a boy, naked except for su blanket in which one of the sailors hadwrapped him, was sleeping peacefully, - tV ,v ',V .. .-' . , lifeboats War fcldVVY?:' C "The Volturno had only nine lifeboats, so far as, I could see," said Frederick Hadke, a German soldier, Hwho, ' wa among; the passengers on La' Touraine, j "ana they .were old and rotten. ' They broke like csrgshells whon thy struck the sides of the rolling steamship. They were useless. , "One boat I saw lowered had a hole In its bottom. It sank immediately and all of its occupants were drowned, "It was reported that two boats got away, but I didn't see them. I did see . four; smashed. They were all lowered with difficulty for their ' tackle was tana-led. .The Volturno'a crew: seemed to know little about handling thera.". "La Touraine ran close enough to. tb Volturno .for 'us to see the fear, dis torted faces of the women and children on the burning; boars after idee, said A. J. Norton... .Denver arcnuecv.wna was also a passenger on La Touraine. ; rrencH Bailor Heroin. , '., "Captain Caussin of our liner ordered the boats lowered at once and aunougn the sea was so rough that they could not get close to the Volturno Thursday night, the French sailors Insisted on remaining in them until daylight at the risk of their lives. They did not . reach the Uranium ship until dawn but I believe our boats, were the first which did reach It. : "I have been told that soma of the . Volturno'a cabin passengers insisted on being rescued ahead of those in the steerage and ' fought the latter back when Captain Inch ordered the boats lowered. If so, they paid for it with their lives,' for all who got aboard the Volturno'a boats were" drowned, while those who waited were saved.".' , Denies Any Fanlo. ' ;!'V I R.

It was the first knowledge1 any one had of . 1L The flames spread eo last that. In a minute they were shoot ; Ing high In tha air. '- . ' "The fact that the women and Chil dren were tha last to be saved does not ; prove that the crew or the .men pas i aengers were- cowards. . The explanation : is that many, of the nlen took the risk j of jumping overboard Thursday night, i The women and children stayed with j the ship. Of those who Jumped over ! board many were drowned." f-V' ; . "I saw no confusion, no trouble arid ; no panic,", said Hendrlclc Mennema, the ; Vol turno's second cook, who also ar ; irived on La Touraine,.
