Captain Takes Blame and Kills Self.
More than 300 persons lost* their lives when the Italian ves
sel Sirio, which left Genoa, Italy, August 2, with 570 passengers,
mostly emigrants, nnd a crew of 127, struck on the rocks of Hor-
migas Island, two nnd a half miles off Cape Palos, on the east
const of Spain, Sunday afternoon about 5 o’clock. The ship was
bound for Buenos Ayres. Argentine Republic, and the passenger
list had been augmented by a s short stop at Barcelona, Spain
When the steamer foundered there were 645 passengers aboard
In order to make up time and shorten the distance, the Siricf
ran too close to the rocky coast of Ilormigas Island. Captain
Gavino, taking full responsibility for the disaster, drew a re
volver, sent a bullet into his breast, tossed the weapon overboard
and drowned himself. This was to have been his last voyage, as
he had readied the age Ijmit fixed by the ship’s owners.
The panic-stricken passengers fought to get possession of
life buoys and life boats. Women and children were stabbed to
death by brutnl emigrants, and many men—emigrants, members
of the crew and officers—were slain by the maddened passen
gers, who sought to save themselves by attacking the loaded
ship’s boats.
Mothers leaped overboard in a vain effort to save their chil
dren, and fourteen fishermen who had come to the rescue were
drowned by the overturning of one of the trawlers into which a
number of the survivors had been drawn. The Austrian consul at
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, gave his life preserver to a woman, who,
with her child, was about to drown. Mother, child and consul
were rescued. The stokers of tho vessel were drowned in the
hole of tho ship. A monk, while kneeling on the deck praying
for those on board, was swept to death as the Sirio sank.
CAPTAIN TAKES ALL BLAME
AND COMMITS SUICIDE
By rrlrste Leased Wire.
, Cartagena, Spain, Aug. 6.—A roll call
of the survivors of the Sirio wreck
iihowed there were 386 missing. It Is
believed, however, a few of these have
been picked up by vessels that con
tinued on for other ports. The death
list, however, will exceed *S0.

Intended to stop nt radix before pro
ceeding to Brazil ami to shorten the
trip ss much as. possible, he tried to
pass close to the rocky led get sur
rounding the Hormlgas Islands.
Wss His Lstt Trip.
It was to have been Captain Oavlno's
last voyage. He was <1 years old and
had been retired by the steamship
company because of his age. The cap
tain who' was to have taken charge of
the vessel was III, and Captain Gavino
consented to make one more trip in
command.
The coast presents a terrible picture.
It Is strewn with bodies and frag
ments of the wreck. Broken fishing
boats, bodies and wreckage are being
constantly washed ashore.
Officers Abandoned 8hlp.
According to all Information the loss
of life would have been greatly less
If the captain and officers had only re
mained calm. It seems that after the
suicide of the captain the officers-
abandoned the ship In order to save
themselves without awaiting to fulfill
the duties of humanity.

after they were brought aahore. Among

perished.
The ship carried >00 persona and was
bound from Genoa and Barcelona for
Buenos Ayres when she struck on a
reef close td Hormlgas Island.
Battle For Life Boats.
Por half an hour, an awful panic
reigned on the doomed ships. Fren
zied emigrants made a rush for the
small boats Into which the women and
children were being placed, and then
began a terrible battle.
The crazed emigrants dragged the
women and children from the boats,
stabbing the women and hurling them
aside and killing officers and members
of the crew who opposed them. Then
the men with the knives fought each
other.
A fleet of trawlers went to the res
cue and the flshermen -had to battle
with the panic-stricken emigrants.
Captain Kills Hlmztlf.
Through the swamping of their boats
fourteen fishermen weifc drowned.
When he saw his ship wss lost and
that the emigrants had obtained pos
session of the wrecked vessel Captain
Gavino, declaring that It was his fault,
drew a revolver and sent a bullet Into
his breast. Then he threw the wea
pon Into the sea and leaped after It.
The steamship was runnlnw at full
speed through a difficult passage when
she struck on the reef, about 2 1-2
miles east of Cape Palos. The Instant
she struck the ship began to settle.
Stab Women and Babes.
A terrible scene of confusion fol
lowed. The captain and officers tiled
to maintain order, and the women and
children were hurried to the boats.
The men forced back the officers and
crew, and arrangements were made to
save the more helpless ones first,
first the emigrants yielded. Thet) ci
a grinding noise, the ship's bot
evidently slipping along the t
This sent a thrill of terror through the
emigrants, and a crowd rushed for one
of the boats, In which women and chil
dren had been placed, preparatory to
lowering the boat.
With knives In their hands they be

nut of the boat, stabbing and slashing.
Members of the crew who opposed
them were cut down.
Forces Rescues With Gun.
A fleet of trawlers which was close
at hand, hurried to the scene to rescue
the survivors. The crew of one trawl
er smarted to mutlne, declaring that
their' vessel would t*s sunk, but the
captain drew a revolver, and leveling It
at his men, shouted:'
"As long as It Is possible to take oft
another passenger we will not move."
When the deck of the trawler became
so crowded that there was danger of

Fisherman Are Drowned.
As the fisherman In smdll boats were
trying to take off as many as possi

rush their boats. They were driven
back, but a further settling of the ship
caused another rush and several boats
