Was Aboard the Walla Walla ‘When She Went to the Bottom. Floating in the waters of the Pacific Ocean about eighteen miles from themouth of the Klamath River the body of James A. Gallagher, one of the victims of the ‘Walla Walla disaster, was found. The discovery was made by Captain Henry Peterson of the steam lumber scheoner Newburg, and that vessel brought the re- mains to port last evening and placed them in charge of the Coromer. Galla- gher was a general advertising agent, traveling in the interest of a syndicate of Eastern magazines. His home was in St. Louis, but he had spent six years on the Pacific coast in the pursuit of his occupation. _ Captain Petérson sighted an object drifting about in the water shortly after 9 o’clock Wednesday morning. He was then about fifty-flve miles from the loca- tion where the French bark is suj d to have struck the steamer. By the aid of a powerful glass he pronounced the form to be that of a man. He at once ordered a boat lowered and that craft, manned by the second officer and two sailors, soon returned with a de- composed body encircled by one of the Walla Walla’s life preservers. The body wias hoisted on board and brought to this city. ‘When Chief Coroner’s muly McCor- mack took charge of the ly there was mystery as to its identity. The index finger of the left hand was missing and a purser’s check showed that l'iilxoun- sor was a cabin passenger and occu~- pled room I, berth 3 and seat 27.

Three hours after the body had been de- posited at the Morgue, Jack Elqu. a bartender at the hotel, positively identi- fled it as that of Gallagher. Hayes stated that Gallagher was well connected in St. Louis and had once been a Deputy Sheriff in that city. The latter has it about six years on D Soast, travel in the nterest of the advertis oF Thagasines during that tme’ He was en route to Seattle when he met his death.
