Tho Boy Mysteriously Disappears After
Tolling His Story—Ho Says He Es¬
caped Alone In a Lifeboat and Was
Picked Up by tire Schooner Mary Wat¬
son—His Story Doubted.
New York, Oct. 26. —There seems to
be little doubt that the tramp steamer
-Brooklyn, better known, as the Tona-
wanda, is at the bottom of the ocean,
and that some, if not all, of her crew
have been drowned.
This information was furnished to
the South Brooklyn Saw Mill company,
the agents of the vessel, by a lad who
says he was a stowaway on the Brook¬
lyn when she went down.
This boy came from Baltimore and
went direct to the New York office of
the saw mill company’, at 16 Beaver
street. He gave his name as Joseph
Katz, and this is the story he told:
I he Stowaway’s Story.
He said he stole aboard the Brooklyn
at Darien, (fa., on Friday night, the
11th instant. The vessel had just fin¬
ished loading a cargo of pine lumber—-
some 200,000 feet—and was ready to pro-
ty •
away in one of the starboard coal bunk¬
ers of the vessel The steamer left
Darien the following morning and Katz
remained in hiding until late on .Sunday.
At that time the steamer was plung¬
ing heavily in an ugly sea and was ship¬
ping great quantities of water. The
latter washed into the coal bunkers and
forced the boy from his hiding place.
He spoke to one of the firemen, and the
latter told him to go on deck and report
to the captain.
Katz found the captain on the bridge
and explained how he had come on the
vessel. The captain bade Katz to go
forward and assist the crew, who were
then engaged in battening down the
hatches.
Alone in a Lifeboat.
During Sunday night a tremendous
sea broke across the after quarter of the
steamer, and when it cleared away it
was noticed that the stern was settling.
The steamer commenced to sink rapidly
aft, Katz says, and on Monday morning
the captain gave instructions to lower
the lifeboats. Katz says he jumped into
one of the boats, together with Olsen
and Johnson, two of the crew.
The painter of the boat parted imme¬
diately after the lifeboat got afloat and
the small craft drifted away from the
vessel. Olsen, according to lvatz, was
swept out of the lifeboat while fixing
something, overboard and Johnson was also swept
shortly after.
Last of the Brooklyn.
Katz says he remained alone in the
lifeboat until Monday night, when he
Watson was picked up by the schooner Mary
and landed at Locust Point,
Baltimore. The last seen of the Brook¬
lyn, according to him, was when she
was fast sinning. The remainder of
the crew were then preparing to abandon
their charge.
The agents doubted the boy’s story at
first, but questioned him closely and he
gave Brooklyn. a perfect description of the
To substantiate his story Katz showed
his left hand which was badly bruised
and bleeding. He said he received his
injury by the lifeboat jamming against
the steamer’s side. Katz also proved
that he had come direct from Baltimore.
The stowaway Disappears.
The agents of the. saw mill said that
they did not know’ Katz’s whereabouts,
he having hospital left to their have office his hand to, go-to dressed. Belle¬
vue
Some of the officers of the Maritime
Exchange, because they can find no
such vessel as the Mary Watson in the
record, are unwilling to believe Katz's
story, but the owners of the vessel
think he is a genuine survivor and they
have now given up all hope of seeing
the steamer again.
If Katz speaks the truth it is more
than probable that the vessel sunk
Body island is the Brooklyn. What
has become of the crew is a mystery.
There were seventeen men on board
and dll were residents of Brooklyn.
