quote	Alex. Gordon, mate (en) Frank J. Smith, fireman. (en) Jas. Lee, captain (en) Mr. Hoover was evidently too badly excited to see things clearly. Instead of plowing through and running down the passengers, the Elwood stopped before reaching the draw tying up at the pivot pier, and rendered every possible assistance to the unfortunates. We threw overboard life preservers, planks and staging and succeeded in rescuing the only man who fell in the water and escaped with his life. While we were tied up at the pier we sent out a small boat and took aboard the man who was floating on the Elwood foot plank. (en) In an interview in last night's Telegraph, G. W. Hoover says the steamer Elwood plowed straight ahead and ran down the unfortunate passengers struggling in the water and says he thinks the action of the officers of the steamer was very censurable in not checking the speed or making some efforts to rescue those who were drowning.
