Providence. Feb. 14 ? Terrible
stories of cowardly conduct on the part
of the officers and crew of the wrecked
I.irchmount are bein<* told by the sur
vivors of the wreck. It allejjed that
the captain and other officers and crew
of the vessel did not try to save their
passengers at all) but brushed them
aside in their efforts to get into the lifo
boats and away Trooa the doomed craft.
The.v even knocked women, who were
struggling for positions in the boats,
down and pushed them overboard, so
anxious wero they to protect their own
lives.
Of those faved from the vessel only
two were women. All the others of the
many women who were passengers met
a watery grave or were frozen to death
before the boats and rafts were picked
up or reached shore.
Eighteen survivors of the wrecked
vessel have arrived at this nlace. Fifty
nine of the dead have been brought
here. also.
The feeling among the surviving
passengers against the captain and
crew of the Larchmount is very bitter.

Snow From 20 to 25 Feet Deep. Mixed With
Rocks and Trees- Buries Track For Half
Mile This Side of Glacier
The White Pass is blockaded. The
largest snowslide within the history of
the road's existence is piled from 20 to
L'.'i feet deep for a half mile or more
aiong the track just this side of Glafcier.
Mired with the snow are trees, roots,
rooks and other obstructions which
maxe the operation of the rotary snow
plows more or less delicate. H is
thought there will be no train out from
Skagway until Saturday morning.
The big slide csme down yesterday
ufterncon just after 4 o'clock.
It carried out a mile or more of the
telegraph line, shutting off communi
cation withGlacier and all points north
of that station. The rotary was sent
out, and it promptly attacked the great
mass of snow. It came in contact with
rocks and trees and was forced to re
turn to the shop for repairs.
(n the mean time a large force of men
has bten employed shoveling off the
top of the side and removing the debris
as far as possible, for the purpose of
reducing the pile of snow to a size and
form that it can be handled by the
rotary.
The-rotary, accompanied by Super
intendent Halin, Master Mechanic Ash
ley. Chief Clerk Blanchard and others,
left just, after noon for the scene of
the 9lide.
This is the first snowslide that, has
ever been experienced on the railroad
south of Glaciar. While there are ev
[ idtmce on the mountain'side of former
snow slides, they ali antedate railroad
! construction.
; Those at Glacier who saw the great
I mass of snow come down the mountain
say it was a sight worth while. The
roar was greater than thunder, and it
carried with it every thing with which
it came in contact en its way down the
hill, stripping the mountain bare to its
rock made ribs.
No Word Farallon
The Farallon which left Seattle last
Saturday evening has not been heard
from yet. Whether she has been de- I
laved by snow or simply neglected to 1
make Known her arrival in Alaska is j
not known.
