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. Forty persons among the Al
gonquin's rescued were suffer 1114s Ln-
