Manager Pearce Speaks of
GoYermental Doty!
"I say the government Is to blame.
If our senators had any gumption about
them we would have had an oceango
ing tug, -properly equipped with life
saving apparatus, up fn the vicinity of
the Valencia wreck months ago. There ,
hasn't been as much preparation up
around Vancouver Island, the most
dangerous 100 miles of coast on this
side of the continent, to save lives, as
there has been in five miles of coast on
the north of England."
That is the way W. E. Pearce, gen- 1
eral manager of the Pacific Coast Com
pany, whose steamship Valencia was '
driven on the rocks, sizes up the situa
tion in an Interview in the Seattle
Times which says he is fearfully work
ed up.
"Worked up? Why, of course I'm
worked up over this," continued Mr.
Pearce, "and who wouldn't be? The j
loss of the boat is nothing to us, that's |
the property of the underwriters; but, j
my God, man ! think of the needless '
waste of life ? I tell you, not a soul ;
would have perished if the govern- !
ment had provided what they should
have done years ago.
"Do you realize that more than 200 .
vessels and more than 1,500 lives have
been lost right in the vicinity of the I
Valencia wreck within the past 20
years? '
"In the case of the Valencia, for in- ' j
stance, there is only one kind of boat in '
the world that could have reached her j
and taken off the passengers and crew. ' t
That is an up-to-da'e lifeboat. We j (
can't carry them on boats of the Valen- !
cia's build, and they belong only to j
regular ocean-going life-saving tugs. ' j
Other boats would be simply dashed t
and ground to pieces against the rocks. ' (
"Two months ago I was approached ^
and asked if I would install wireless 1 1
telegraph instruments on board the | .
Pacific Coast boats. I said I would i
just as soon as the government or pri
vate companies established stations j
along the coast. If that had been done, <
he Valencia could have reported her!
trouble within 15 minutes after she's
went ashore, and in no time, a tug sta- 1
ioneJ, say at Neah Bay, could have t
-tarted on her 22-mile spin across the |
-traits, and every man, woman andj
:hild on board could have been taken ' e
?ff by noon Tuesday." | ^
