Anderson’s Story
Martin Anderson, of Eliamar, who
v.hs one of the passengers on the Ham
mond. came up last night to hare his
injuries treated by Dr. Hoyle Here
ports the experience one of the worst
to be imagined, and as a result of his
attempts to extinguish the fire is badly
-■•aired on the face and both hands.
I 'rom his version it was Capt. Johnson
■ t the Hammond who launched the skiff
and heroically endeavored to reach
Naked island to secure help He
could not get any help but did manage
to secure a dory in which he rowed
luck alone through the mountainous
-eas to the assistance of his passengers
nd crew Despite the fact that when
i e reached the place where the Ham
:„ond went ashore, all had landed
ifely except, engineer Cater he br aved
the waves and rocks, and joined his
comrades. Later when the Brighton
rime along he again faced the fury of
the elements and rowed off shouting to
('apt.. Steamy v.ho had not, seen any
ignals, and but for the action of Capt.
Johnson would have passed tbesn by
Through it all Capt Johnson displayed
royal pluck. Undoubtedly Engineer
Cater lost his life through his brave
efforts to help save the steamer and the
lives of the passengers. When it is
considered that no life preserver cnv
■ red bis body, and that during the tire
he secured two preservers for others,
and in every way showed bravery and
true manhood in the periously p >sition
it indicates that he was cast in tlie
mould of which heroes are made Ho
probably met his death at the very last
for those who remained on the Ham
mond were finally driven over board by
the flames and for two hours were
■ i.liged to hang to the craft as she
■ 1 rifted shoreward. Engmneer Cater
was alive within a very few minutes of
when* the Hammond struck, and it is
thought that not having any life pre
server, he was deep in the water and
stunned by a rock as the waves threw
him up on the shore, and that when
the steamer came in. she crushed him
as he lay.
