2 111 Fated Vessel Is Sent Across Steam Schooner's Path as Result of usion atvthe Columbia lifeboats are not yet accounted lor. The steamer George Elder arrived at this port today towing the waterlogged San Pedro and bringing most of the eurvlvors. Four lifeboats have been picked up In Shelter cove, where the survivors who were in them are being cared for. Under the direction of Mayor Ricks the people of Eureka have assumed the duty of ministering to the shipwrecked people and all that have been brought quartered in private houses and hotels. The collision occurred about midnight on Saturday 20 miles south of Port Gorda.

The Columbia sank in '11 minutes. The San was badly shattered, but, being laden with the steam schooner remained afloat and afforded a refuge to those brought here later by the George Elder. The Elder reached the scene of the wreck about six hours after the disaster. Of the passengers saved by the Elder, about 50 were injured, some seriously and others- only bruised. Tlra etory of what followed the colltsionas told by the survivors is a repetition of the story of the Rio de Janeiro, the Walla Walla and the Valencia.

It Is a story that tells how the good rediblood of real stood" out In bold relief against the selfish efforts of the white-livered -minority. Frail women, of whom tlfere were many on board, proved that pluck was not a matter of ounces or Inches, and when the full story of the loss of the Columbia comes to be written the jrrlt of the Yankee school mann will come in for a prominent place. Among the Columbia's passengers were' nearly 100 xvoznen, many of them "eastern school teachers returning from the educational convention at Los Angeles. The accounts of the survivors vary in many particulars, but all accounts agree that Captain Doran and his officers pre- Eerved good discipline, and that the master of the ship to the end stood true to the- best traditions of the profession he had followed so long with honor. "Fra the master of this ship!" he yelled, through the pandemonium.

"Listen to me. Take your time. Take your time and you'll all be saved." With his hand on the whistle cord, that the shrieking appeal for help might sound as long as there was Captain Doran Standing at Post as Ship Goes Down Sailors of the San Pedro Heroically Set-to Work to Rescue Victims EUREKA, July 1n just 11 minutes by the watch held in the hands of Third OQcer Hawse, the steamer Columbia of the San Francisco and Portland steamship company sank Saturday night at midnight, 20 miles to the south of Point Gorda, after having been rammed by the steam schooner San Pedro, commanded by Captain Hansen. Latest advices place the number of survivors at 139, of which 37 were members of the Columbia's crew. One -hundred and persons are missing, including.

2o members, of the crew. Captain. Doran. 'master the ill fated steamer, stayed at his to the last, bidding a' sad "Goodby" as his; vessel -The San Pedro was badly damaged, but floated, being a wooden steam schooner laden with lumber. Captain Hansen of the San Pedro has made no statement regarding the affair.

No lives were lost on the San Pedro. The vessel was towed Into port this morning by the big Bteamer George W. Elder. Captain Jessen commanding. The 159 passengers saved res-, cued by the steamer Elder, which hove in sight of the wrecked San Pedro about 6 o'clock Sunday morning on Its way from San Francisco to this port.

WOMEX RUSH OX DECK The scene enacted on the Columbia Is indescribable. Many passengers never gained the deck from their staterooms on the lower deck. Those who did manage to- escape to the upper deck were scantily clad. Women, rushed madly up the companion In their night Children were terror stricken. There was not time to lower boats carefully, but a few were cut loose from their davits as the vessel sank into the surging sea.

In these a few managed to escape, and reports from Shelter cove on the Humboldt coast near the wreck state that a boatload of survivors has been picked up there. Two In this boatload were dead a man and a woman. It is reported that the woman's name is Mrs. Lewis, and that her husband Is en route to Eureka overland from Shelter Cove with the body. The other body, that of a man, has not been Identified.

Oscar Swanson, a sailor on board the steamer San Pedro, and his shipmates, lay the blame for the disaster upon the shoulders of the officers of the Swanson" version is that the wrons orders were 'given, at the critical moment by the commander of the Columbia, and that the vessel was sent straight across the bow of the San Pedro. The latter, bearing down full speed with tons of lumber- to frlve enormous momentum, crashed into the Harrlman liner Just forward of the brlgr, cutting a gash seven feet long In its side. CUT OFF FROM ESCAPE Men In the engine room had little chance of escape and most of them did not survive, but went down with the ship at their posts in the engine room and boiler rooms. The fiteainer Columbia left San Francisco at II o'clock Saturday morning, carrying a large- passenger list, many from the National Educational association convention In Los Angeles. Others were bound for.the,ir homes in the east, but the' greater number of were women teachers from Los 1 Angeles.

At 6 o'clock Saturday night a bea.vy.foff shut down on the coast and the Columbia was hugging the shore so closely that sounds could heard from the land. Later that evening the' course was altered and the Columbia put. out several points. As night came on the-, fog and darkness became impenetrable. Captain Doran refused to leave bridge, but remained on watch with his first and second officers lest something occur that needed his judgment.

Full speed ahead was registered on the indicator all. this The San.Pedro, owned by the Metropolitan lumber, company of this county, left Saturday morning. Its decks were piled high with heavy timbers. It encountered fa heavy fog in the viclnltyj, of: Point Gorda, but -its speed did not slacken. Captain Hansen states that he weir out to sea.

The sailors esay thaU'Captaln Hanaen was in bed. He has said nothing denyinr'that: statement -as Suddenly the steamer Columbia loomed up out of the fog and simultaneously on both vessels signals were' blown. HIT AT GREAT SPEED fi. O. Peterson, the lookout on the Columbia, had his, superiors on of the- imminent; danger and'the order.

rang out from; the bridge to helmsman, "hard sis steam to fill the siren's throat, Captain Doran went down with, his ship with a "Goodby" and "God bless you" for those that -he had done what he could to save. Those passengers that reached the deck wore all lightly clad and survivors tell of panic stricken men- tearing the raiment from men and already half naked in their efforts to force a way into life boat or raft. Children, say some of the survivors, were trampled underfoot. But sounding true through sordid details is -always the warm word of appreciation for Captain Doran and his officers. The' Columbia's boilers exploded as the vessel sank and to this fact, strange as it may seem.

It is due that those struggling in the water were not drawn Into the wreckage tangled depths with the steamer as it went down. The explosion' counteracted the suction and left a. more even chance for those still above water. Out from the warm staterooms which they had been snuugled.fdreaming of vacation passed or holiday de- High ts to come, frantic parents hastened with their still sleeping children, out the slippery, sloping decks and into the uproar of that wild rush for life. Families were divided in that awful struggle, never to be reunited until the sea gives up.

Its dead. One passenger, with his wife and two children, found himself and his flock all together in the water. He contrived to get them on a raft. Out into night they floated, wet, cold, but together and alive. The exposure, however, was too much for the children.

First one and then the other relaxed its hold on the raft and dropped, gently off. to be swallowed by the hungry sea. The mother, heart broken, also passed away before the father and husband, thrice bereft and half dead, was picked up. This was only one of little tragedies that made up the big tragedy that will go down in marine as the loss of the Columbia. As to the responsibility for the disaster.

It Is too soon to speak yet. The lookouts on either reported the approach of the other. In each case the vessel's'course was ordered changed and the order was obeyed. Heavily weighted with lumber, Pedro struck the steamer's steel side with the Impact of a. huge, projectile and very much the same result.

"Three points aport hard!" yelled the mate on the San Pedro to his helmsman, and the schooner shifted suddenly seaward. But the order "hard a starboard" on the Columbia sent that big liner directly across the path of the San Pedro and they met. The Impact was sq great that the San Pedro bounced back from the big and backed away until the inrushing water quenched the The San Pedro then floated around. Boats were lowered from the lumber carrier and manned, by sailors, reaching sinking steamer as It was almost totally submerged. The shock of the collision threw the passengers from their berths and In a dazed" made their way to thenupper deck.

CAETAIX DIES BRAVELY It t6ok but, 11 minutes -for the steamer Columbia to sink to the.bottom after the San Pedro crashed. lnto it. Life counted but little with brave Captain Doran -of the Columbia. The story of -his fortitude would make the blood tingle, through any man's veins. Holding the whistle cord with one hand and the engine signal with the otber; he sank with his ship.

When' that -fearful crash occurred Captain Doran was at his post on the bridge. Several of his officers surrounded him. "Listen, listen!" he yelled with fury. "Take your time. I am commander of this ship.

If you will. but take your time. all will be safe." Then he pulled upon.the. the whistle cord until the rushing water drowned the fires. "Goodby!" he calmly cried, and in another minute sank with his ship, true to his trust.

Aboard the vessel scores of people were scurrying. Shrieks, unimaginable groans and deathlike cries only added to' the confusion. Down below in the sailors' quarters rang out the song "Sailor. Beware." The men In the forecastle had rushed out, when an officer went below and put a stop to the awful song. Scenes of heroism were -to be seen upon all sides.

Man man lowered himself down by while others, grasping loved ones, dropped Into the water. In 'the angry sea; children were torn from their parents and husbands from their wives. CROWDED IJfTO As many passengers as possible were crowded Into the boats which had been exit loose. There was scarcely any evidence of a women acting with heroism. The -of the San Pedro Immediately lowered boat and picked up a' large number of survivors, while the boats from the Columbia lay to by the San Pedro.

When the Columbia sank It carried down with It about 74 passengers. This estimate is not accurate, and the number cannot be definitely determined until full particulars are received from Shelter Cove, where four boats are said to have been MEMB Officer, Whitty was with Captain. Doran when the vessel Bank. Just as the Columbia was sinking its boilers exploded. This counteracted suction and saved many" lives.
