He made the following t | statements jâ€"â€"1 was a passenger on the ' steazaer "Victoria" this evening and passed | through an ordeal the like of which I hope 1 will never be called upon t0 Wituess | again. ‘The decks of the steamer were | packed with people, prineipally ladies and j children, I was on the upper deck durâ€" ' ing the passages; and shortly after leaving the dock at Sptingbank & g#od imatty pasâ€" passengers began keeping time with tke listing of the steamer, and went as far as they tould frotw Side to sids eath time the *ossel strgoil. Many people made fan of it At first, and a good deal of halloaing was done, such as "Get out yotit life:boats !" "Come and have a tectet!" etc., etc. While this was proceeding up stairs, the passengers on the low&* deck were running: ' to and frow, endenvotiting ‘ to keep their | feet from getting wet j and fally fifteen inâ€" thes of water ran frotm gangway to gangâ€" way across that pottion of the boat when she surged. Thé passengers below yelled and sereamed in & most terrific manner as the vessel continued to lurch, and nota single effort was made by the captain or his brother officers, if there was any on 'im:rd. Captain Ranking was at the wheo‘, | While nearing the bend bolow Cove Bridge, l probably 200 yards west of it, a greater rush of the passeng rs theu had hither: o been exâ€" lp.’éflpc«d took pluce, followed instantly by a cracking noise. The . women screamed, ‘ the children yelic, and for the moment the | faces of severa! men in my vicinity: turned in | begged Captain Raukins to touch at the | wharf and let them off, but it is stated by | an eyeâ€"witness on the bank and also by ! Mr. Ward that Raukins refused to aceede | to theia request. Ou they enme the boat | making a swaying motion, as if in a dead | struzale to support her tremendous burthen. | There is no d ybt from ths statements of | many of the survivers that there was more : or less fear, and a dreadful consciousness ‘of the perilous nature of the trip, among \th +) ssou, 6 8. There was an unusaal degree | of motion among the passengers, which the captain did his best to keep in clwek. He kept continualiy reminding them of the danger of moving abdut, &nd urgcd them to kéep as quibt as fossible. He }evideutly was aware of the C!‘ufliiy condition of the boat, and evineed ait anxitty about taie general safety whith thok Bis attetition greatly away from the tork of navigation. It is slited by the survivers that just before the &)“upse there tras a commotion among the passengers. ;I‘hey crowded to the sides, and in the midst of a movement whith was probably bordering on a panic, the ship broke assunder, and crumbled down to the water‘s edge, as if it were a piece of waste paper. ; ’ Loudon, May 25, 4 a. in:â€"â€"The people * of London will have cause to remember ‘ the Queen‘s Birthday of 1881 with the deepâ€" | est sorrow on account of the unparalieled Y | entastrophy in the toundering of the steamâ€" er "Victoria" on Tuesday afternoon, where !nnly a few short hours before trete was . | universal _ merryâ€"making. ’X'c-dav there s | reigus the deepest gloom. There are few | but have lost relatives and connections, and | | none Lbut have been bereft of friends. It! i. impossible for any but those who witnassâ€" | [ ed the horrible seene of last night and th!.‘.! | morning to form a conception of the magâ€" ' nitude of the disaster. Latest reports slmw‘\ / that tue nnmber of viectims is much larger | / than at first estimated, and every few, \| minutes swells the list of the unfortunates | _ as their bodles are recovered from the !river. It is ascertamed that 150 bodies | were brought to the city by the "Prineess|. | Louise" imuediately after the accident. Up : | to eight o‘clock this morning eighteen adâ€" 1 | ditional bodies were brought to the surface | by those engaged at the work, and when|‘ |to this is added a dozen or more that were | ‘ taken away from the seene of the wreok|‘ by private conveyances and the cuustmnt‘: addition to the list, it may reasonably ! 1 be estimated that the nuamber of vietims} t' eaunot be far short of two Lundred. There are no doubt a good many bodiesfto be reâ€" !; covered yet, as there are nearly a seore of missing ones of whom mo tidings have Ol vyet been reecived. | 6 Wwas THERE a PANIC oN Boarp ? 1i appears that after the bout sturted from Spriugbauk the pessenger began to realize that the Loat was over crowded.

The|J; tonuage of the boat was about 190 tons, | N she was flatâ€"bototmed, scowâ€"shaped at both | S. ends, and regiâ€"tered to carry 400 passenâ€" | m gers. 1 do not think we had more cluml yo 450 on boadr, because tlhere is not staudmg' M Zoom on the boat for that number at 8 i», | MJ space to each person. The boiler left the deck before I left the wheel. The gian l sn chions from the main deck are the mauin‘ supports of the upper deck. She was weil G: «t inchioned, but there were no braces ; we |8 Lad life saving apparatus for 400 persons. t1 ww cA oaP is l w P F ' boat. That was my determination,because I was beginning to get anxious. â€"Just then & con; le of rowâ€"boats came alongside, the , oceupauts of which were racing, and the crowd rushed to the side of the boat to see them. ‘The engineer then sent word that I should try and get the crowd to go aft, because the water was coming in. Just then the crowd made a rush to the port side, and as they did so the vessel just took a lurch and went to port bow down. Then the boiler shifted from its position and went through the side. I believe the vesâ€" gel would have recovered herself only for: the boiler going over, and as it went it carried away the main deck stanchions;and tLat let down the top deck with the crowd that was above. ‘Thers was not one hunâ€" dred paople on the lower deck, becatise the space beolw is largely taken up with the boiler and machinery. The aft part of the boat went down, but the forward part came to the stirfase; and the toat was spread about si® feet apatt: ‘The result was that many of the pessengers were imprisoned between the water and the top deck, which ecame down above them, but they had a breathing space of a foot or so between the water and the deck,which would have saved many had not the . others persisted in | climbing on the fivating deck, thus cm;h-, ing down and . THE CAPTAIN INTERVIEWED, “ Captain Rankin, who had charge of the ; ill fatel Victoria at the time of the disaster, was found at his home this morn‘liig, and ; he made the following stateméhit:â€""We | were on the last trip for the day, having | made thiee trips previously.

She was listéd to starboard all the way up‘ the yiver till just before the accident, and then she rolied suddenly to port and went to pieces. He is of the opinion that the boiler or som« heavy posti »n of her machinâ€" ery n.ust have been loose or out of place and that when the boat listed to port it rolled over and upset her. He is very sure the steamer was overlouded, bat a gravef statement upon which he ventures is thet he is of opinion thut the upset would b} have been attended with ball uo futal 4g> sults had the stcamer been coutâ€". structed. "Why," said lnl':m over to the port side, which was not whore than forty feet from the bauk, maif,/ of, / | Boits sHifiekes rent the air cn every »lie, ‘| Mothers, with children clinging about their 1 neeks, would beat the wator 'iumnj' \'v‘it‘;f f their arms, and with eyes plarting | from their sockets utter shriek after shriek, till at last a halfâ€" smothered ery that ended in a sickening gurgle told that they lind gone down benealll the frood. But even this wits hot the most horrille of Mr, Montâ€" gomery‘s experience. While he still held his head above tho water he could tvel the 'ldtnwniuu children, whose little hends were swapt imdop wates some seconds Lefore his | own, clutob at his legs, in what bhe well know was their dying stongyles. Drownâ€" ing mothers grasped him Afrantically, and piteously implored his help. His coat and wauistâ€"cout were almost torn off him. At length she suuk so low that he, too, wonut doten over head in the water, and then by a protracted and desperate effort, during which he was n:ore than once on the poiut of Ziving up, he dragged him‘self hand over lluuu] along the iron rod to which he had been clinging, and finally erawled upon the hali sunken hull of the wrecked steamer, l One or two who F‘sd clung to him were saved. As soon as he found himself safely on the wesel he cauglt a rope lying near flung the end of it to a man whom he saw swnuiug oa the starboard side of the wre®k with a boo" on his back,. This man, had #uniped out into the river wita the boy | jus as the wrock was fulling in the opposite di« | rection The bravé féllow was nearly exhaust â€" ed, as he was Laviled to the side of the wreck, but he managed to gasp out "save the buy," They did gave the boy and his gallant preâ€" server too. Those working on the wreck, including Mr. Montgomery him»elf, now managbd to raise up the awning, the uppor edge of Whidh ¢till reeted partially upon the suukén bull, and from beneath this many womén dnd children wore rescued wlive, but below this und agrain deeper in the water lay the promonade deck which had swépt down benéath it scores and scores of victims. None of these could be resuscitated. Mr. Montgomery tâ€"!!« a melâ€" lnné’loly story of the scenes incident to the ido#ification of the bodies,iut these hare béen préfty fully described. One man that he kuéew named Dyer, and whom he saw zet abouti the stcamer at Spring Bank, was drownéd with his wife and two children, He léuves four boys between eight and sigâ€" teen years of age, W. |"7C076" A"urge number of those on the l. promenade deck were already over there, At this time he looked down the companâ€" ‘ | ionâ€"way and saw a considerable depth of | water on the main deck which was as he | then ferred accounted for the extraordinary :I listing ol stamor to sturbourd. _A very j short time after this, and only a moment | before the disaster, the captain | pussed the crowd remarking, "If you dou‘t keep over to to that (the po.t) side, you‘ll have to swim for it." at this several more of the passengers moved over to the port side, and the boat suddenly righted, and tiioek listed heivily to the port side which was nut more than toity feet from the â€"bank. Down she went with Estonishing rapidity , and to save themselves those ou the prom» enade deck clutched tWe staunchions that supported the awning overhend, but these suapped like ];l'p(- stems, and a second luter the supports of the promenude duck guve way, and the whole wreck shd down to the port on shore side of the hail into the wate‘, Mr Montgomery caught hold of an iron rod on a bracket of some kind in the .awuin,';. and holding to this mm'.-‘aged to keep lbis head above water for some | see» onds after the collapsed promennade dock le neath his feet Lad gone down into the watâ€" er. _ His position at that time wasa terrible one.
