lice By the time they got there had 10 or 12 people in my boat and took them back to the sta tion where they had blankets waiting and ambulances for anybody that was hurt Detectives Roy Soplet and Cyril Cole were the first police men on the scene Cole 62 says he peeled off his clothes dove into the water and began hand ing people to Soplet on the dock Ironically Soplet and Cole had passed the $5 million ship earlier that night and discussed how beautiful it looked We heard the music and were saying what nice trip that would be with the music and dancing recalled Soplet 55 now police inspector We were on patrol and shortly after 230 am we looked south on Yonge Street saw glow in the sky and headed down We were only minute away when the alarm camein Within an hour the ship was blazing inferno An inquest later determined the fire had started in linen closet likely caused by careless smoking SCENE CONFUSED The ship seemed ablaze from stem to stern Soplet said The first thing we saw was woman jumping off with her nightgown and hair on fire As the flames spread Toronto began to resemble city under siege By am every hospital was jammed with victims and scores of taxis and ambulances operated shuttle service tohospitals Some people tried to get back on board because their loved ones were still there said Soplet who had to hand cuff people to prevent them from returning to the ship People began to gather at dockside to watch the blaze hampering rescue work and making it difficult for emer gency vehicles to get to the scene newspaper report the next day estimated the crowd at 50000 Within an hour the coroners office was filled with bodies and Chief Coroner Dr Shirle Lawson set up temporary morgue in the horticultural building at the Canadian National Exhibition The task of identifying the bodies took months LADDER BROKE The fire department began rescuing people from the doomed ship with aerial lad ders but one ladder broke under the weight of too many people Fire fighters had to back off when the heat became too intense Soplet says many firemen ris The firewracked Noronic lists sharply as water fills her hull in Toronto harbor Sept l7 T949 CP Laserphofo ked death climbing into the flames to rescue people The Kingston passenger steamer moored in the next berth was backed up to the No ronic and plank was laid across for people to escape but the vessel had to pull away when sparks from the blaze threatened to set it aflame Norrey said he and another harbor police officer managed to manoeuvre their boats into the slip alongside the Noronic We just kept one at the bow and one at the stern he says Wed have to manouevre out mm of the way because you never knew where someone was going to jump Wed just move backwards or sideways and grab them and put them in the boat Norrey handed passengers to policemen on the slip wall who sent them to hospital PAINT ROLLED OFF The paint was just rolling down the side of the ship Nor rey said It was red hot and slight wind got up and gave the flames kind of howl There was red glow in the sky Oldest ever to swim Channel James Doc Counsilman 58yearold grandfather prepares to get info car as he returns to England following his recordbreaking swim from England to France on Friday The Doc who is swimming coach at Indiana University became the oldest person ever to swim the English Channel crossing the 2lmile stretch in l32 hours AP Laserphoto guess you could see for miles All the people jumping from the boat were in nightclothes and many were in state of shock But only two people drowned escaping the Noronic One was woman who leaped between the boat and the dock and the other man whose body was recovered days later We didnt keep track we just kept pulling them out of the water Norrey said But think we got close to 150 people Doctors and dentists came from all over North America to help in the gruesome task of identifying the victims Several were never identified and are buried with memorial plaque in Toronto cemetery SIIEIIE INTO BAGS Norrey went on board with the fire department the next day to recover bodies and they had to shovel human remains into canvas bags to be taken to the morgue It wasnt very nice sight he says We shovelled everybody out They were like black balls under the beds They had gone there to escape the flames and it was the only way we could Jean Jennett

would identify the victims The men agree the one posi tive aspects of the tragedy was the way the city opened its heart to the victims What amazed me was the cooperation extended by everyone says Soplet There were so many people injured burned hysterical and in state of shock that we had to use every vehicle we could Cab drivers just pulled their taxis in there to take people to hospital The big hotels threw their doors open opened their kitchens and supplied beds in their lounges and conference rooms The hospitals called in their emergency staffs and nu merous organizations did tre
