The conduct of everybody, the erew.J the pasaengert and especially lh*' lady patengers. was In the highest degree cqo) and praiseworthy. There was no fear expressed, oo erl*» and no alarm. Tb* capta’n gave bis order* and they war* immediately fulfilled. In about a quarter of an hour five boats had been 1 punched, all with a supply of drinking water, but with no provisions. Th* Iraptaln *vas the last man to leave the »W ,ln Mr. Marsh * Itoji there were nine teen soul*. Including thre ladle* and everybody bad on a Itfe preserver. The Delaware at that time wa* burn ing fore ami aft, and a* was staled by some of the passengers, although de nted by the steamship c-ampany, that a portion of ttv cargo consisted of ex plosive*, pewder or ammunition, for war purposes, the boats kept at a good distance from the blazing vessel. It was about 2 o’clock In the morn ing, with Barnegat light burning brightly in the distance, that an ocean tug hound for Norfolk came along and sixty odd occupants of tbe boats were token off, packed like sardlrtes aboard the tug. and her nose turned around for Sandy Hook. The last seen of the Delatvar.? was tvhcu a mass of fire and leaping flames she was slowly drifting towards the N«jw Jersey const. Later i’ was r.'iorted that she sank before reaching the beach. ■ The news of the disaster had been wired to New York and' when the tug Ltb Its load of scantily, dressed ami Uncomfortable passenger* reached the North river pier, the company had a line of eloe.-d carriages In waiting and they were whisked off to uptown ho tels. A pile of blankets were on hand, also to be used as temporary clothing. Tho water was smooth all tho time and the moon came up shortly before the sight ing and arrital of the tug. Several of the passengers brought up gripsacks containing attire and valua bles prior to taking to the boats, but they wore promptly thrown overboard by the captain's orders He was taking no chances and bu maalife was the most valuable cargo. The ship's cat, the mascot, having been on board eight years, was lost. The passongers lost everything ex cept the clothes they wore, anil in some instances this aUite dihi-y had no time to make, full and com pleto toilets. In summing up. the roremies* polnls, according to Mr. 7Marsh, con nected with the disaster, were, first, tire captain's cool, courageous and sys tematic orderfi and behavior and ttje entire absenca f'.of all tjfsteria ajitl symptoms of pfthic and feir among the lady passengers.
