She reported by wireiess ehortly after 9 o'clock this morning that she heti been able to take off Captain Alfred Gunter, Chief Mate 13ert Iverson, Second Made Bout Dallies Third Made Cart Eklunde, Op- erator William Davis, Boatman Chris. tian Rassmussen, Quartermaster Harn. ilton Powell, and Herman Ericksen, the ship's carpenter. No mention was made of the remainder of the crew, thirty in number. The Oklahoma was owned by the J. M. Guffey Petroleum Company, was 2,795 tons net, and 419 feet long. She left Imre Saturday for Part Arthur, Texas. Although the disaster occurred less than 10� miles of Sandy Hookeatfre- lea reports throughout the night *tire meagre and -conflicting. The Tuttle of the distressed vessel was variously re- ported as Thomas Wasca, unhaed-of and unregistered in shipping circles; the Pennon, chartered by Um Stand- ard 011 Company, and the tank steam- er Delaware, The Spanish liner Man- uel Calve, the Royal mail liner Carib- bean, and other vessels, stood by the distressed craft throughout the night, but were apparently unable to identa fy her, The Caribbean reported this after- noon that the crew had been rescued, but did not even give the name of the vessel. In announcing the saving of part of the Oklahoma's crew, the Bavaria ada- ed that the vessel had not sunk en- tirely, but was partly submerged and drifting helplessly.
