n amber saved from the wreck

Victorie, Jsn. 24. (Via Amur from J
Port Simpson.)? The steamer Valencia,
from San Francisco to Victoria and
Seattle, went ashore near Cape Beale,
Vancouver island, Monday, about mid
night. She had on board about 90 pas
sengers and a crew of f>4.
The sun was obscured almost the
whole time from leaving San Francisco
Saturday at noon, so reckonings could
not be taken. High winds prevailed
and the steamer went out of her course,
struok oa a cliff with sleep sides and
tilie 1 fast. Attempt? to get boats and
rafts away were mnde, but all but two
were dasbed to pieces. A bout 50 lives
were lost in this way. Two boa s, one
with six the other with nine m-n,
reached shore and gave the tiows. The j
balance of the passengers and crew re
mained with the ship. Duiing last
night the ship went to pieces.
The sole survivors are: T. J. McCar
thy, boatswain; Theo. Latnpson,
O'Brien, Thos. Shields, John Mark and
W. Joslin, seamen; O. J. Miller, J.
Ritchie and K J. Lepos, firemen; Mr.
Bunker, asst. supt. of Seattle schools,
whose wife and two daughters were
drowned; Carl Samuel, first-class pas
seng3r to ^oattle; Mike Hone; second
class passenger to Seattle; M. Brown,
second-class passenger; J. Campbell,
whose wife at>d 15-year-old daughter <
were drowned; Albert Wells, U. S. navy. 1
Capt. Johnson and all the others of I
the 94 passengers and 60 crew, are list- <
ed as lost. The steamer, herself, was
poundtd almost to pieces by the 60
mile gale, which raged last night, and
this morning.
A htilf-dozen steamers were sent to
the wreck last night acd this morning
to render what help bs possible, but the
wrecking steamer, Salvor, (the old
Danube) reporled from Kaniields cable
station: ' No success fcr our mission. "
She and the other big steamers were
oHined to stand o)f two miles from the
wreck, heavy seas preventing their ap
proach. The lug, Czar, of the Cana
dian Pacific railway service, managed
10 get within three quarters of a mile, .
trom where no living person could be
liscovered aboard.
