1,000 LIVES MAY BE LOST IN BURNING OF THE EXCURSION BOAT GEN. SLOCUM.

ST. MARK'S CHURCH EXCURSION ENDS IN DISASTER IN EAST RIVER CLOSE TO LAND AND SAFETY.

693 BODIES FOUND -- HUNDREDS MISSING OR INJURED.

FLAMES FOLLOWING EXPLOSION DRIVE SCORES TO DEATH IN THE WATER.

FIERCE STRUGGLES FOR ROTTEN LIFE PRESERVERS.

The Captain, Instead of Making for the Nearest Landing, Runs the Doomed Vessel Ashore on North Brother Island in Deep Water -- Many Thrilling Rescues -- Few Men on Board to Stem the Panic of Women and Children.

As estimated total of a thousand dead, besides several hundred injured, is the record of the fire disaster which yesterday destroyed the big excursion steamer General Slocum, which was burned to the water's edge before her Captain succeeded in beaching her on North Brother Island. Nearly all the dead and missing are women and children and were members of an excursion party taken out by St. Mark's German Lutheran Church of 323 East Sixth Street.
The estimate that the number of lives lost will be found to reach 1,000 was given by Police Inspector BROOKS at an early hour this morning. Fire Chief CROKER shared his view, saying that at least 900 persons must have perished.
At 3:30 o'clock this morning the tug Franklin Edison took to the morgue 69 more bodies. Just previously another tug took six, which were burned beyond recognition. Twelve more bodies, also burned, were left at North Brother Island, bringing the total of bodies so far recovered up to 693.
The disaster stands unparalleled amoun those of its kind. Whole famililes have been wiped out. In many instances a father is left to grieve alone for wife and children, and there was hardly a home in the parish, whence but a few hours before a laughing happy crowd went on its holiday, that was not in deep mourning last night.
The scenes attendant upon the disaster have seared themselves in the brains of the survivors never to be effaced. Women were roasted to death in sight of their husbands and children, and babes by the score perished in the waters of the East River, into which they had been thrown by frenzied mothers. With beath by fire behind them, hundreds leaped to their doom in the river. Out of the awful record there stands fourth bright and clear the heroic work of the watermen, the police, nurses, and doctors, who saved hundreds at the risk of their own lives.
It is the opinion of those who witnessed the disaster from the New York shore that Capt. VAN SCHAICK, who commanded the vessel, lost his head. Instead of running the vessel aground on the New York shore near by, he carried her, blazing from stem to stern, to North Brother Island, where she ran on a rocky shore.
Four hundred and ninety-eight bodies were recovered up to midnight. Hundreds of charred remains are still in the hulk of the Slocum, which is now beached at Hunt's Point.
Survivors say the life preservers were worthless and rotted away in the hands of those who attempted to use them.
Coroner O'GORMAN said late last night that he had taken more that $200,000 in money, bank books, and jewelry from the bodies of the dead.
Frenzied thousands, who had lost relatives througed the Alexander Avenue station in the Bronx, the Morgue, the piers, and the vicinity of the church all night.
Among the dead is the wife of the pastor, the Rev. GEORGE C. F. HAAS, and his daugher is missing. It was reported early this morning that the pastor is in a critical condition from shock.
The Captain, two pilots, and some members of the crew are under arrest.
It is believed that the fire started from the explosion of a stove in the galley on the lower deck, where chowder was being cooked.
FATAL TRIP'S JOYOUS BEGINNING.
With Music and Flags A-flutter the Slocum Steamed Up the River.
The annual excursion of St. Mark's Church -- Pastor HAAS'S Church, they call it in the neighborhood -- is an event long looked forward to by the communicants and their friends on the east side of the city. Only the tickets calling for passage for adults are taken into consideration while the sale is on, and there werenearly 1,000 of these sold and presented on board the boat before she started. The children are carried free, so that every mother either sent or took her little brood to the outing.
The General Slocum, which had been lately overhauled, started from her pier at East Third Street shortly after 9 o'clock. As she cast off and stood out into the stream her flags were flying, the band was playing a lively air, and her three decks were crowded to their capacity with a happy throng that looked for a pleasant day's outing at Locust Point, on the Sound. The party was to be landed about noon, and the return trip was to be made so that the excursionists would be at home by 11 o'clock.
The excursion was in charge of the social committee of the church, headed by MISS MARY ABENDSCHEIN of 315 East Eighteenth Street. MISS ABENDSCHEIN and Pastor HAAS, with the other members of the minister's party, were at the dock to welcome the pleasure-seekers. They were the pastor's wife and daughter, MISS EMMA HAAS, his sister; Assistant Superintendent, CARL ANGER, WILLIAM SLAFER, and W. D. TETAMORE of Brooklyn.
The Slocum was under command of Capt. WILLILAM VAN SCHAICK, who has been with the vessel for many years, and with him were two pilots, EDWARD VAN WART and EDWARD WEAVER. The crew consisted of twenty-three men. Chief Engineer GEOERGE CONKLIN was in charge in the engine room. He is believed to have been burned to death at his post.
Accounts differ as to just where the boat was when the fire started. Certain it is that it went through Hell Gate without any evidences of panic being noticed, for the band was playing and persons on shore remarked that the Slocum had a big party on board that was apparently having a good time. With no thought of the coming disaster, no effort was made to keep any of the parties together, and the children ran happily all over the ship, while the mothers gathered on the upper decks and gossiped. They were nearly all German women, who knew each other, and had something in common to talk about.
It was when the boat was about opposite One Hundred and Thirtieth Street in the river that the fire started; at least that was when the first warnings were sounded. Some of the survivors say that they saw smoke coming from below before this, but they though it was from the chowder cooking on the lower deck and paid no attention to it.
Vessel Made Wide Detour.
North Brother Island is about opposite One Hundred and Firty-fifth Street. The vessel was not beached directly at this point, but sailed around the end of the island and ran on the rocky beach several hundred feet further on. The fact is established that Capt. VAN SCHAICK took the Slocum a very long distance before he made any attempt to effact a landing. When the fire was discovered the boat was not more than 300 feet distant from the New York shore. Randall's Island was close at hand, and there were numerous coves and piers on the New York shore at which the boat could have been docked.
The fire started forward. It is believed that it began in the storeroom of the boat on the lower deck. Here a lot of odds and ends of rope, canvas, oily rags, and other truck were stored. In this immediate vicinity, too, was a large stove, on which the chowder was to have been cooked and in which the fire for the cooking had already been lit.
The dread cry of "Fire!" sounded through the boat about an hour after she left her pier. Almost immediately there was a muffled explosion, and a sheet of flame enveloped the forward part of the boat. It was then that the trouble was first seen from the shore, the boat being opposite One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street.
Immediately pandemonium broke loose on board. The flames, spreading with incalculable swiftness, forced the passengers to the rear of the boat. Capt. VAN SCHAICK was seen to run from the pilot house after turning the wheel over to VAN WART and yell to beach the boat on North Brother Island.
The crew made no attempt to get anything like order out of the frightful panic that was in progress. According to some who survive the fire drill was sounded, and they went to their posts. Some say they soon had streams playing on the flames, but even if they had it was like trying to drown out a blazing caldron of oil with a squirt gun. Other say that the pumps would not work, and that the lines of hose were almost immediately abandoned. Some even assert, that the hose was torn out of their hands by the frenzied women.
It was only a matter of seconds until the entire forward part of the boat was a mass of flames. The passengers had rushed aft, and the boat seemed to be settling by the stern. All this time full speed ahead was maintained, and the flames, fanned fiercely by the wind, ate their way swiftly toward the hapless women and babies that were crowded on all the decks astern.
Fought for Life Preservers.
It was maintained by the survivors that while there seemed to be a good supply of life preservers on board, these were worthless when they came into play. Women tore them from one another and they fell into shreds, and any attempt to use them in some reasonable was was perforce abandoned when the flames were swept closer and closer toward the rear of the boat, driving the frantic passengers before them.
With sure death from fire behind, the women, there were not men enough to stem the tide even had they exerted themselves -- waited until the flames were upon them, until they felt their flesh blister, before they took the alternative of the river. Babies shrieking with pain, many of them with their clothes on fire, were dropped into the water by scores, and finally the women were forced over the rail and hundreds of them fell into the river.
By this time the boat was opposite North Brother Island and was evidently still under control, for it rounded the point where the dock is located and ran ashore in a little cove, where the jagged rocks jut out into the water. fAn inspection of the island shows that hardly a worse landing point could have been selected, as the water is deep there and there is no beach. All this time the shrieks of the women and the cries of the children, swelled into a chorus fearful to hear, could be heard on the New York shore, where hundreds of men employed in the various shops and lumber and marble yards had gathered.
Just as the vessel struck the rocks the supports of the hurricane deck burned away, and with a crash the upper works came down. The vessel was then completely enveloped in flames. As the boat struck hundreds jumped or were thrown into the water, and hundreds more were precipitated into the blazing furnace beneath. These remain, a charred, unrecognizable mass, in the hulk of the burned vessel, which is now beached at Hunt's Point, more than a mile from where it first struck.
Meanwhile there were being enacted scenes of bravery that will stand out as among the most heroic in the annals of the country. No men ever braved death more recklessly on the battle field to rescue wounded comrades than did these watermen of the New York river front to save the lives of the women and little ones who were struggling in the waters of the East River or who were still clinging to blazing portions of the wreck. These men saw women and children roasted to death on the burning hulk of the Slocum.
The tug Wade, owned by JOHN L. WADE, who acts as engineer on board and commanded by Capt. ROBERT FITZGERALD, saved 155 persons. The Wade was lying at the North Brother Island pier when the blazing Slocum hove in sight. She put off and waited to get alongside as soon as the Slocum touched the rocks. As the vessels came together the deck of the Slocum fell in and dozens of women and children their clothing ablaze, were literally pitched on to the Wade's decks.
The deckhands threw bucket after bucket of water over these, and used every endeavor to make them comfortable after their blazing clothing had been extinguished.
Firemen EDWARD CARROLL, frenzied by the sights around him, jumped overboard and tried to save some of the children struggling in the water. He succeeded in gettinghold of three, but his load was too much for him, and he was compelled to abandon one to save the other two. He kept on swimming about after he had gotten the two children on board, and managed to save half a dozen more. The struggling persons and bodies were then so thick in the cove that some were held above water by being jammed so closely together.
Saw a Policeman Drown.
The crew of the Wade say then saw a policeman drown while engaged in the work of rescue with them. This policeman was one of the first to arrive on the island, and hand made eleven rescues. It was while trying to save the twelfth person, a woman, that he was seen to show signs of distress, and before help could reach him he sand. They said the policeman's number was 3,125.
This is the number on the shield of Policeman THOMAS COONEY of the East Eighty-eighth Street station. He was one of the reserve policemen sent up to One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Street in a patrol wagon when word of the disaster was received.
Capt. FITZGERALD saw a boy climb out on the rail in the rear of the Slocum. His clothing was on fire, and in some unaccountable way he remained upright, a living, pillar of flame. FITZGERALD saw him roasted almost to a crisp, when the charred remains toppled over into the river.
The Wad had kept so close to the burning steamer that her deckhouse caught fire, and when she tried to put off to save herself from destruction it was found that several lines from the larger boat had become entangled in her paddles and she could not get away. Some of the men received bad burns while cutting these ropes and finally, after a bucket brigade had put out the flames on her and the Wade had taken on board a number of nurses and doctors who had meanwhile arrived on the island, she put off to the New York shore.
The city tug Massasolt, which was also moored on North Brother Island, behind the Wade, ran as close as she could to the blazing steamer, but the fierce blaze and the heat made it impossible for her to lie alongside, and her deckhands picked up dozens of women and children who still showed signs of life in the river. Mate ALBERT RAPPAPORT disrobed, jumped into a small skiff, and picked up a number of children. Capt. PARKINSON cut adrift several small boats, into which he saw a number of persons scramble, who were afterward saved. RAPPAPORT got out five girs, two boys, and a woman, all of whom were revived when taken to the Island.
Flotilla of Rescuing Craft.
From all along the water front on the New York side rowboats and tugs put out to the scene of the blazing wreck, and hundreds of persons who otherwise would have perished were rescued by these intrepid men.
One of the boatmen saw a heap of boeies on the paddle box of the Slocum. A little girl, crying piteously for her mamma, was the only sign of life among the gruesome pile. After repeated attempts the child was taken off. She was unscathed. She said her name was LIZZIE KRIEGER, and that she had seen her mother burned to death. She was taken to the Alexander Avenue Station, where she sat all day in the back room, in sight of the rows of bodies on the floor.
"Mamma is all burned up," was all she could say between her sobs.
While the vessel was racing up stream, enveloped in flames, the watchers on the New York shore all agreed that they were unable to understand why Capt. VAN SCHAICK did not make a landing on the New York side, from which the boat was only a few hundred feet distant.
A watchman who was in the tower of the De La Vergne Refrigerating Company's plant, at the foot on One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Street, was the first to set on what he saw in the river. He noticed the blazing boat several hundred feet away, and, running from his point of vantage which commands a view of the river for miles, turned in an alarm and telephoned to Police Headquarters that a big excursion steamer was ablaze in the river. When he returned, he said, he thought to see the vessel at one of the New York piers, but was astonished to see it rounding the point on North Brother Island. This man is only one of a great number who hold to the same view.
Capt. VAN SCHAICK jumped from the burning vessel to a tug just as the Slocum struck the rocks. He was taken to the Alexander Avenue Station apparently unhurt, although he complained of having strained his back. He and the two pilots as well as several of the crew were then put under arrest and were taken to the hospital as prisioners.
Most of the deckhands were negroes and were apparently unmoved by the terrible sights they witnessed in the police station. All of them had jumped into the water and swum ashore to North Brother Island.
For hours after the disaster the waters around North Brother Island were thick with dead bodies, and these were pulled aboard all kind of craft as quickly as they could be and laid out in the awful rows on the pier. Later they were taken to the Alexander Avenue Station or the Morgue on various tugs.

Slocum ship disaster 1904

My family was supposed to be on board the SLOCUM during the picnic sail. Due to the "bad feeling" that overtook my Great Aunt Emily Halley Black they did NOT go on the expedition and so were not killed or injured. The mystery remains as to why they were attending the German Evangelical Churce since they were not GErman but the only explanation we can come up with is that when the family came to NY from Birmingham England (and lived where the UN is now) they somehow became friends with members of the parish which was very near by. Even after they moved out to Queens they were attending the Church and we have several marriage and christening records from there. That this disaster was for almost one hundred years the WORST SINGLE DAY disaster in New York City until September 11 2001 and is almost forgotten says something. The disaster also brought about many changes to maritime safety laws and inspection criteria. There are family groups that keep in touch due to this disaster and a small monument in NYC comemmorates it. If any one has info about this or wants to share their story contact me at: jmloebel@sover.net

General Slocum Disaster

Thank you so much for your comment on this terrible event. I have read very much about this incident, and the more I read, the more in touch I feel with the incident. My biggest question would have been the direction the Captain turned the steamer. Did he have a choice? Did he have control of the boat? Readings have told me instead of heading toward North Brother Island, which is a poor location to "beach" a craft of this size, he could have turned more toward the city.
So many lives so sad, so very sad.
I always think of the Sultana Disaster. More individuals were killed in the Sultana explosion than in the sinking of the Titanic, yet, how many remember the Sultana ? It is very much the sand of the Slocum .
Thank you for sharing your feelings and memories with me .
Sincerely Stu
