During a dense fog at midnight the steamship Colum
bia is struck by the San Pedro and sinks in two
minutes? Sleeping victims may reach two hundred
^Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan) j
San Francisco, July 28 ? Details of one of the most
terrible disasters that has been reported in this city for
years are slowly coming in. At midnight Saturday last
the steamer Columbia was struck by the San Pedro and sank
in two minutes. The accident occurred during a dense fog
off Cape Mended no near Shelter cove. Most of the victims'
were asleep. According to the passeuger list it is known
that ninety-eight of the passengers perished and that out
of a crew of ninety -seven only thirty eight have been ac
counted for. Just at the moment the Columbia sank her
boilers exploded. This caused a counteraction of the final
pluuge which prevented suction and to it the saving of many
lives is due. The absolute loss cannot be known for days.
The accident took place far from points of communication
and the reports from the remote hamlet near the scene are
being much delayed. However; it is known that fifteen
survivors are at Shelter cove without clothing or food. None
of the children who were on board escaped and but a few of
the women passengers were saved. From all the accouuts
that have been received it appears the San Pedro was at
fault.
