Harbor of Hong Kong
Literally Floating
Dead Bodies.
Hongkong. Oct. 15.—The estimate
today placed on the terrible loan of
life in the burning at her wharf of
tli, steamship Hankow makes the
number over 1,500. All the Americans
and Europeans were saved and about
fifty chines#,'who occupied quarters
above the steerage.
The harbor Is literally floating with
the bodies of dead chmese who were
roasted alive or drowned.
Try to Scuttle Ship.
An effort was made to scuttle the
ship at the order of the captain, In or.
der that the poor creatures might at
least be drowned instead of being
burned to death. The cries could be
beard for two miles Inland, and the
atene tvas witnessed by over 1,000 per-
aons standing along the wharves. Gov
ernor Nathan, of the British quarter,
and his staff were there.
• When the defines began to make
bead n ay In the Hankow's lower decks
the Chinese were rendered mad and
fought each other like demons. The
ereiv went down among them, but all
their efforts to assist the Chinamen to
escape or quiet them proved of no
avail.
Fesrs Are Entertained.
An Investigation Into the cause of the
Ore Is being made. It la believed that
Chinese opium smokers are responsible.
Part of the Hankow's cargo was 500
bales of raw silk, 500 bales of raw
matting and 400 bales of waste silk, and
It Is thought that the lire was com-
munlcated to this, cargo from the
smokers. One report la that a runner
for a Chinese boarding house knocked
over a lantern as he came aboard the
ship.
Every attempt was made by the fire
department to quench the flames. The
natives declare that the death of the
countrymen was a punishment for rid
ing mi foreign vessels, and fears are
entertafned for the future of the Eng
lish trade and passenger business
along the river.
