Thrilling rescue as steamer Ontario burns off Montauk
The Ontario from Baltimore to Boston ran aground off Montauk Point with fire in its hold. Passengers and crew were taken to safety by tugs and life savers as two revenue cutters and a wrecking tug converged. Captain Bood remained aboard to fight the blaze with his crew, who drilled through the pilot house and pumped water from the engines. The ship, 290 feet long, built in 1264, had wireless distress signals amid flames, smoke drifting along the water front, and hopes of salvage as a wrecking tug heads from New York.
