A TOWN IN MOURNING Relatives Bear Up With Courage (By a "Mail" Special Representative) Goole was in mourning to-day - and a heavy fog pall hung over the town, almost as though to ensure a solemn quietude. At many houses visited by a "Mail" reporter this morning, the usual Monday morning washing was being carried on, and the relatives were bearing up with courage. At the house of Mr J. W. Hutchison, 16, Clifton-gardens, it was learned that Mr Hutchison, who is the master of the vessel, had been going to sea all his working life, and for the last 20 years had been engaged on coasting service. He had been in charge of the Broomfleet since October, and had previously been the skipper of other vessels. He has one son, who has also followed a sea-faring career. AN ONLY SON At the house of Cecil Doubtdre, second engineer. of Wetherill-street, Goole, there was great sorrow, as this has been the second tragedy in recent years. Mr Doubtfire was an only son, and his father was lost on the "Calder" about three years ago. The chief engineer, Mr J. Harlington, of 66, Jackson-street, is married and has a wife and child of 4½ years old. He had been sailing with Doubtfire, his friend, for some years, and had been chiefly engaged on L.M.S. boats sailing from Goole. His wife is in delicate health, and although she has suffered a double bereavement recently owing to the loss of her mother, she is bearing up well, still hoping for good news. Mr Harlington was 35 years of age. FATHER OF EIGHT Mr W. Hiley, who was second mate, has been going to sea for about forty years, and has been with Messrs Atkinson's, the owners of the Broomfleet, for about twenty years. He is one of their oldest servants. There is a family of eight children - four sons and four daughters. Two or the sons still go to sea, and a third has also seafaring experience, but after a spell of unemployment he took a job on the railway. Mr Hiley was an experienced navigator, and his wife cannot believe that ill has befallen him. Mr R. Dade, an able seaman, who lived in St. Andrew's-terrace, Goole, was 56 years of age, and has been going to sea all his life. During the war he served both in the army and the navy and this is his first trip in one of Messrs Atkinson’s vessels. A WELL-KNOWN SPORTSMAN He is related to Mr A. Conn, the fireman on the Broomfleet who has been in the army, but has been to sea since he was demobilised. He has been working for Messrs Atkinson's for three years. Mr Conn is the stepson-in-law of Mr Dade. Mr H. Smart, the fireman, of 18 Pasture-road, is a well known Goole sportsman, who has been interested in athletics, including cricket, football, and billiards. He was 26 years of age last month, and he is a man of a large family. He has a brother also going to sea, but his father works on the dock. It is only recently that he was one of a Goole team that won a shield and medals for billiards. SOON TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED Gunnill, the chief officer, of Cecil-street, had been unemployed for about a year; he had made two or three trips on the Broomfleet. His brother Ray had been his sea mate on another vessel sailing from Goole. He was a single man, and was 29 years of age, He would have been married very shortly. He previously had been mate on board the S.S. Bosworth, which sailed from London round the world. He had been attached to the Broomfleet for about a month. There are four sons in the family, two of whom are seafaring. There are also two daughters. one of whom is married. Mr Alec McKay, a naval seaman, of Southern-street, aged 31, was a native of Macduff, Scotland. He had been out of work for two years and this was his second trip with the Broomfleet. He had previously been on deep sea vessels. The young man David Greenwood is the youngest son of Captain Harry Greenwood, the master of the steamer Faxfleet, a sister ship of the Broomfleet. Like the Broomfleet, the Faxfleet sailed from Goole on Wednesday, but on a tide later, and for Cowes. The Faxfleet has arrived at Cowes and although part of the voyage was on the same course as the Broomfleet the latter vessel was never sighted. Harlington, the chief engineer, was making his first trip in that capacity, having recently secured his ticket.
