a number of them drew their revol

there wa< a frenzied rush.
The steerage passengers were like
arlld animals in their fear and dashed
past the officers and their revolvers.
'They piled Into a number of the boats

let go the falls. No effort was made
by the frensled steerage passengers
to lower boata In any sort of order.
The result was that the boats were
