At the same time William Henry Muff, who runs a hotel and a boathouse at Steinway, L. I. , about a quarter of a mile farther up the Sound, was a more active witness of the catas- trophe.
Muff was eating his breakfast on the veranda of the boat- THE SPECTACLE FROM THE SHORE 141 house, when all at once, from behind the hillock known as Berrians Island, came the General Slocum in flames. Muff dispatched a messenger to Steinway to tell the engineer of the steam launch Gloria, which he owns, that th
...e Slocum was on fire, and that he wanted steam at once.
While the engineer was being found the Slocum ran behind North Brother Island, but not before Muff had witnessed the breaking of the guardrail and the terrible panic that followed.
COURSE OF FiaE AND SMOKE The flame and smoke ascending from the vessel arose from behind the island, plainly marking the course of the General Slocum, although nothing could be seen of the vessel itself except now and then the top of a smokestack.
Just as the Gloria was about to start to the possible rescue of some of the Slocum's passengers a number of reserves from the Seventy-fourth Precinct, Long Island City, ran onto the wharf and boarded the launch.
