The latter figure, however, is far below the estimate made by the official of the Joy line at Providence, who e limate tbs number of passengers at not less than I5u. The exact number of passenger was given in a list which was handed the purser Juat before the Larchmont started on her fateful voyage. but It la believed that it wan lost when the ship went dawn. Captain McVey said that had his crew been able to make progress against the northwest gale, they would have landed at Fishers Island betweeu 12 and 1 o'clock. The wind, however, was too strong to be overcome ani there was nothing left for the suffering seamen but turn around and head for Block Island. 15 miles away. It was j shortly after 11 o'clock wbea the cap- taia of the boat cut away from the sinking steamer and it was not until t!:30 o'clock in the morning that it arrived at Block Island. Captain McVey declared that the crew of the schooner was responsible for the wreck. He said that had the sailing vessel held true to the course which she was sailing when ahe was sighted, there would have been no possible chance of nn accident. The schooner, however, suddenly luffed and crashed into the port side of the Larchmont almost before the helmsmen had ported their wheel. Captain Haleya Report Captain Frank P. Haley of the schooner Harry Knowlton. which was In collision with the Larchmont. stated that the accident was entirely due to the steamer.
