SOON WHEN HIT BY (Continued from Page One) boats and might be picked up by a coast guard craft, many ot which were searching the waters along the Jersey Kiiore. The situation at 1 p. m. (E. S. T..) v.i: Known dead, 3. Missing, 46. Rescued, 113. On the rescue chip, the Clyde Ma.1 ...lory liner Algonquin, sister ship of hlie Mohawk, reached New York this 'morning with 04 survivors, one of whom died before the vessel docked. Nearly half of the survivors were suf fering from injuria and exposure. Steering Gear Disabled A steering gear that went "hay wire," as one member of the Mo hawk's crew put It, Is believed to have figured ,ln the crash. Visibility was not perfect "fair," one man said. Robert Tex Bamett of Houston, Tex., seaman on the Mohawk, said: "I was on the bridge, and knew that the telemotor went haywire, so I walked to see which way &he would turn. "The ship swung hard to port. Men were sent to the engine room to connect the hand steering wheel, but the collision occurred before this could be done." j Among the missing was Capt. J. E. Wood, a veteran of the sea. j The first persons to walk from the Algonquin were three women. They were hysterical, and the crowds on, the pier added to their excitement. I "It Was Terrible" "It was terrible," said one, wrapped in blankets, "but this is worse." When the Mohawk sailed from New -York yesterday afternoon, an hour! before the slower Talisman, she car- j rled 53 passengers and 110 crew. Of those rescued, 22 were aboard the Champlaln, a coast guard boat, and 94 aboard the Algonquin. The United States steamboat In spection service moved swiftly, as It did In the Morro Castle disaster In which 124 persons lost their lives to get to the bottom of this latest disaster of the ill-starred Jersey coast. It announced an Inquiry would begin perhaps as early as this after noon. Boats Fon n a" Empty. The coast guard reported shortly after 10 a.m. that It bad a wire less from Master R. J. Hudglns of the freighter "Bylayl" saying life boats number 3. 5 and 7 of the Mohawk had been sighted 40 miles northeast of Barnegat light about 12 miles from the spot where the Mohawk sank. The master of the "Bylayl" said be had examined all of the boats. He found them empty. A possibility that Captain Wood of the Mohawk may have survived nme In a remark by one of the olohn wit's seamen. The. seaman said .he saw the cap tain's boat pulling away from the Mohawk Just a few minutes before the liner went completely under the water. He suggested the possibility that the captain and some of the persons listed as missing might still be drifting In that boat. Search over the sea waa continu ing, but It was understood that all but one life boat had been accounted for. An' Associated Press photographer, flying, over the scene of the col lision shortly after dawn, said there was no sight of the liner. Morro Castle Near Scene. Up the beach a few mllca the blackened hulk of the Word line's "luxury liner," the Morro Castle, which burned September 8. Inst one of the most appalling sea dis asters of recent years. Not many miles from where the Mohawk lay at the bottom of the sea. the navy'8 queen of the skies the I dirigible Akron exploded and went 'down In storm tossed was nearly two years ogo with the loss of 72 lives. , I Full details of the tragedy remain obscured in the excitement of the rescue and the hystria that still gripped most of those uved from th ley tea. Because of the early hour of the coll 1st on about 9 :30 o'clock last night few passengers bad retired. This was In contrast to the Morro Castle disaster which struck In the early morning while most of the passengers slept. Calls Answered. Both the Mohawk and the Tnlis msn sent otit SOS calls almost simul taneously. Within 20 minutes two craft th United Fruit liner Limon and the coast guard craft Champlaln were speeding to the scene from their nearby courses. The exact nature of the collision remains in doubt. The Tnllaman ram med the bow of the Mohawk, cutting a hole lu her bow above and below the water line. It was apparent from the moment of the Impact a terrific one. "like two bouses pushed together." one survivor said that the Mohawk was docmed. The order to tak to the lifeboats was given shortly afterward. The master of the liner wirelessed that he was heading for the beach to run his ship aground. The Mo hawk was taking on water too rapid ly, however. She was careening at a 4 5 -degree angle before the last per sons were able to leave. Survivors Tell Story. John Puckhaber, who believes he was the last to itave the Mohawk, said: "By the time I left, the nose was down and the propeller was stick ing 30 feet In the air. The ship quickly dived, and was gone within half an hour of the crash." Survivors returned to New York on the Algonquin recounted thrilling Btorles of the tragedy. Miss Evelyn Levine of Brooklyn said she was standing on the deck at the time of the crash. The night was clear, the sky starry. Suddenly there was a great knock Just as If two houses were pushed together," she said. "There didn't seem to be any panic, but one man dashed up and yelled: "There's water in my rooml " Shortly after, said Miss Levine, the crew began to herd the passengers on deck and Issue lifebelts. Sea Very Rough. A bellboy, William F. Doyle, making his first sea trip, said the sea was very rough when the lifeboats were launched. He was standing at the 1 rail when the boat to which he was ! assigned was lowered and he had to I Jump into It. Two members of the crew leaped Into the water from the Mohawk's stern, Doyle said, adding: "I don't know whether they were picked up." He left the doomed' vessel In the last lifeboat launched , said Carlo Rtcca, a steward, and he and another crew member were the only men in the boat. The others were women. Two Picked Up. The boat was on the water for two and a half hours before It was picked up by the Algonquin, and during that time two ere members were taken from the water. "We put them In the bottom or the boat and piled blankets on them it was eo cold." the steward said. The lifeboat was only about 50 foot j away from the Mohawk when the liner sank. i "I was afraid our boat would be J swamped," Rica said. "A big wave rolled at us as the boat went down, ' but did not turn us over." j Rlcca said he did not know how 1 the accident happened. "The Mohawk was struck slightly forward on the port side, and 10 mlc- j utes later It was lying on Its side." ( he said. "As the ship went down 1 J sew a couple of men hanging on the funnels and masts. I don't know ; whether they were picked up." i Fear Captain Lost, Captain Wood apparently had gone j with his ship, said Frank Novak, a member of the crew. "I saw him standing on the bridge I as the boat went down," Novak snld : The exact position on the sea's bot tom of the Mohawk was being sought by the coast guard cutter Icarus. . Some debris was found, but the grave of the Mohawk had not been dis covered shortly before noon. I PAGE THREE Participating In the search for sur vivors were amphibian plane ot the coast guard. The speed with which the Mohawk sank was told by Joseph Oonzclea of the crew. "She went down so fast, he s!d, "that we had- to cut the lifeboats loose or go down with the ship. When the Algonquin arrived at a, New York pier it was learned that one of the persona she had rescued Earl R. Barr had died of head in juries.
