the naval tug Freehold sent to the
bottom of the Hudson river by a
blow from the Saxonia's propeller as
she was working to warp the big
liner into her pier.
A muster of the Freehold's crew
tonight showed three men missing.
Resetted members of the crew said
that they saw Larry Lanahan, chief
machinist's mate, sink after a short
straggle. It was thought possible
that the other two men unaccounted
for had been picked up by small
boats and taken ashore.
The Sazonia's decks, crowded to
the rail with returning troops, hal-s
and wounded alike, were the scene
of greatest confusion, which lasted,
however, but for an instant. Then
