[Continued from Page i.J
has ever taken place on the Pacific
coast. For 36 hours after the vessel
went on the rocks which jut out from a
perpendicular clitT 1000 feet iu heighth,
her rigging was filled with men, women
and childrea, signalling for help. Dur
ing a great deal of that time three
or four ships, including the Canadian
wrecker, Salvoe, the Canadian tug,
Czar, and the passenger steamers,
Queen and City of Topeka, were in
sight of the helpless, crying and pray
ing souls, but were powerless to render
assistance. Those who witnessed it all
say it was Ditable beyond description.
The passengers were washed Into the
seething sea, or, one by one, dropped
into it after having become exhausted.
When last seen the rigging of the ship
had been carried away. Nothing was
left but the grim, battered hulk. There
was no life anywhere.
Heroism and Cowardics
There was both heroism and coward
ice among those on the ship at the be
ginning of the trouble. One man,
Fireman Joe Cidogas, a Greek, at
tempted to swim ashore with a line.
He was battered almost to dea'h. He
was one of those sent from the ship on
a life raft ana saved. He is called the
hero of the wreck. About 50 of the pas
sengers were dumped into the water
and drowned before the boats were
successfully launched or were swamped
?fter the boats had got to the water.
Offio?ra Commit 2m ciao
Some of ihe members of the crew
say Capt. Johnson and Chief Engineer
Downing committed suicide by shoot
ng themselves when it became appar
ent that there was nothing to do. The
captain and officers prevented members
of the crew that were afterward saved,
according to one man, from taking the
first boats from which so many passen
gers were drowned, only by threats en
forced by cockeJ revolvers.
Indignation At Viotoiia
There is much indignation at Vic
toria and elsewhere that those passen
gers who were still safe in the rigging
of the ship when the so-called rescue
ships reached the scene of the disaster
were [not saved. It is said thar no j
rescuing equipment was on the boat and
that they left without a trial to save
life. Many harsh things are said of
the Salvor and Czar for returning and
reporting that there wa3 none left to be
saved, when dozens were there Jong
after they had departed.
