GRAVE ALLEGATION
DELAYED SENDING AID Mono Castle Fire Inquiry OFFICERS’ ACCUSATION (By Telegraph—Press Assu.—Copyright.) (Received 14, 11.45 a.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 13. The chief officer, Mr. James M. Henderson, and the third officer, Mr. Harold Peterson, of the rescue liner President Cleveland, told the Morro Castle Inquiry Board today that they did not wish to serve any longer with Captain Robert E. Carey, of the President Cleveland, because they alleged that Carey delayed in sending lifeboats to the aid of the Mono Castle.
Peterson said he believed more lives could have been saved if the President Cleveland’s lifeboats had put out sooner.
Carey said that two lifeboats were lowered “as soon as we could,’’ but said no people were picked up, as his men reported not seeing any to rescue.
