Story of Wrook
Port Angeles, Wash., Jan. 25 ? The
Valencia left San Francisco on Satur
day with 94 passengers and 60 crew, for
Seattle. From the very first day she
had rough w eather. Monday afternoon
she was enveloped in a dense log. By
midnight the fog had settled and when
the vessel was running uoder a half
speed bell, she struck the rocks
that are projecting out from the high
cliff near Cape Beale into the ocean.
The captain was taking soundings
when the crash came. A panic result
ed at once. The ropes were cut in the
davits and the boats thereby upset
leaving the deck crew helpless. The
first boat launched, the second officer's,
was quickly filled with women and
children, and wrecked sgainst the side
of the vessel.
After striking, the vessel was sent
hard astern, but she began to take wa
ter at such a terrific rate that the crew
came out of the engine room in a panic.
Chief Downing, with the remoant of
his crew, stood at his post. The ship
was again put on the rocks where she
held fast, settling with a heavy list.
Hope Still Exists
Seven boats and two life-rafts were
fipally launched. Three have beeh
heard from. It is hoped that others
will be picked up. The co.ist is being
patrolled ar.d steamers are searching
the sea.

from they tad evidently given up be
ing s ived and wre heird to be earnest
ly singing th? hymn, '-Nearer, My
God to Thee." O.i bjard the vessel
