MOHEGAN I' ORROR
Three Score Bodies Haue
Been Washed flshore.
TUGS STILL SEARCHING.
Heroic Conduct of Men Who
Faced Death.
London, Oct. 17. —The Atlan
tic Transport Company issued
the following statement yester
day evening regarding the fate
of the passengers and crew of
the steamer Mohegan, which
was wrecked last Friday evening
off the Lizard, between the Man
acles an! the Lowlands :
Os the passengers eleven have
been saved, ten bodies have been
recovered and thirty three are
missing.
Os the crew and cattlemen
thirty nine have been saved,
fourteen bodies have been re
covered and fifty one are miss
ing.
Since this statement was is
sued nine other bodies have been
picked up, including two that
have been identified as those of
passengers.
The reports of the various
correspondents differ widely as
to the rescues, recoveries and
losses though none has been able
to obtain the exact number of
those saved or of the bodies re
covered.
the bodies of the following
passengers have been recovered :
la 1. W, King, Edna King,
Master King, James Blackey,
II. M Cowen, Dr. Fallows,
Kk L Franklin Fuller, Mrs. L. M
George Seymour, Miss L,
11. Warr.nor.
The latest ad vices from Fal
i mouth say that thirty eight
bodies haye been identified,
mostly the bodies-of sailors, thus
indicating that more bodies have
been recovered since the com
pany’s statement was made,
Thirteen are yet unidentified,
including those of two elderly
ladies. One app-ais to be a Ger
m an. She wore a watch and a
wedding ring, both engraved
‘•1871.” The other wore a silver
orooch with the letter “D” in
pearl. This is probably the body
of Mrs, Charles Duncan.
Up to midnight fifty one
bodies had been recovered. Some
were found miles away and it is
expected that more will be
washed ashore tomorrow.
Many persons undoubtedly
were killed by being dashed on
rough rocks, who would have
escaped if cast ashore on an or
dinary coast. Some of the bodies
are horribly mangled. A good
deal of jewelry and money has
been found.
As all the navigating officers
were lost, it is doubtful whether
light will ever be thrown on the
causes of the disaster.
All the flags ashore and on
the boats in the bay are at half
mast.
Nine of the bodies have been
brought to Falmouth, the others
to the village church at St.
Keverne. The rescued passengers
are being sheltered at cottages
along the shore and the crew at
the Sailors’ Home at Falmouth.
Tugs have been cruising in
the vicinity all day, despite the
rough weather in hope of pick
ing up other bodies.
The Ct use of the disaster re
mains the profoundest mystery.
Nobody attempts to explain how
the Mohegan got so far north of
her true course—from six to

seven miles. There was no fog a t
the time, while the wind on her
port quarter was not sufficient
to prevent her answering the
helm. It has been suggested that
h- r compass was faulty, but day
light lasted long after Eddystone
light w’as passed.
The sailors say .the fact that
the Lizard light was not vsible
•houjd have served to give
alarm. The masts of the Mohe
gan, which are above the water,
show that her stern, is landward
causing a thsory that the navi
gating officer on discovering that
he was in the bay suddenly
turned seaward. Two engineers
who were saved declare, how
ever, that they never slackened
speed,
Remarkable stories of rescues
continue. Robert Barrew, a sea
man, performed the feat of
swimming, unaided, through
the roughest water to Coverack
point, a distance of two and a
half miles. He climbed up the
ragged cliff, where a searching
party found him early the next
morning completely exhausted.
A. C. L. Smith, of Oi-egm, a
passenger, surrendered to a
wtfman in the water w-reckage
that was supporting him and
swam asnore unaided. The Wom
an was saved. Her name is re
ported as Miss Webb, but no
such name appears in the Com
pany’s list.
Messrs. Smith and Blocking,
dale say there was the greatest
difficulty in launching the boats.
The ropes were new and stiff,
and the blocks would not Work.
Four or five times as many
sailors as should have been
necessary struggled to bower
each boat. The lockers were hard
to open. The crew, in a chival
rous effort to savd the women,
made the mistake of under-man
ning the boats. There were only
four sailors in one boat, which
capsized as soon as it ' was
launched, Messrs, Smith and
Blooiningdile say that Capt.
Griffiths had appeared ill all day.
The death of T. W. King, who
was a newspaper proprietor at
Nantucket, Mass., and of his
family, including Mrs. King,
her mother, Mrs. Weller, and
his sous, Rufus, aged eleven,
and Anthony, aged seven, has
caussd deep sorrow at Penzance,
where the family had a summer
cottage and were very popular.
Joseph O’Rjiko, King’s valet,
who was sa' ed, says he was on
deck when the crash came. The
lights went cut immediately.
Rushing to the saloon he heard
Mr King exhorting his family
to keep cool.
O’Rorke, with seven others,
clung to the rigging until 6
o’clock yesterday morning when
a life boat took him off. He
identified the bodies of the
Kings and Mrs. W. 1 er and will
have them embalmed and taken
to the United States in accord
ance with ci bled instructions
from the relativ- s of the family
at Nantucket.
