The Pacific C-ast Steamship Com- | George E. | into active service of the steamer Queen by decorating with gold and silver medals Captain N. E. Cousins and the other brave men that risked their lives three months ago to save vessel and passengers from destruc- | tion. The story of that gallant fight out on the cold, dark, storm-tossed Pacific on the morning of February when flames and waves conspired overwhelm the gallant ship and in to more than two hundred souls, fills, | the marine history of the Pac Coast, one of its noblest chapters. From captain to cook, from the most seasoned traveler to the frailest woman and tiniest baby aboard, that awful test revealed no sign of craven heart. Each did his duty as it came to hand. The fight was won. The worla. when it learned, said well done. The company is now going to show | that even corporations have souls, and | this morning will give material recog- | nition to the bravery of the men that saved the Queen. In the annals of the sea are the rec- ords of many brave deeds done b sailormen in the line of their duty and in some lands the government | makes official ~recognition of such valor. The American merchant ser- ce is second to none in the quality and number of its heroes, but in- stances of public recognition are con- spicuous by their rarity. It is seldom that a crisis brings out such general | intrepidity as was exhibited on the | Queen and still less frequently do the | rank and file participate in the dis- tribution of the laurels. FOUND NOT WANTING. the Queen were weighed in the balance. They were not found wanting, and as soon as the tangle caused by the disaster had | been straightened out Vice President Pearce.set himself the task of finding some appropriate way for the com- “ pany to say thank you. The insurance companies interested will probably do something of like { The people of A- ture, but the Pacific Coast Steamship { Company, not willing to let the mat- ter drag longer, decided to do its shar | to-day and allow the underwriters to take such action as they decide upon independently. Fire was discovered in the after | cabin of the Queen at 4:30 a. m., Feb- ruary 27, when the vessel, bound |north with 218 souls aboard, was | about thirty miles west of Tillamook. A gale was blowing at the time. It |will be remembered how Captain Cousins first put the women and chil- dren and all other passengers not able bodied and able to assist in fighting the fire into a lifeboats, which were launched in charge of experienced men. These boats remained with their precious burdens under the lee of the blazing steamship until those on board had conquered the flames. On board the coaster the engineers’ crew, with flames raging above and behind them, kept up steam’ and enabled those on deck to pump water on the hell of fire. ONLY FOURTEEN LOST. In spite of the awful odds, of the 218 on board only fourteen lost their | lives. One of these, a woman, died as land two other passengers were drowned through the unavoidable capsizing of a boat; three members of the crew were burned to death and | seven were drowned. When the alarm of fire was sounded Captain Cousins, clad only in pajamas, | took charge of affairs and the victory over the angry elements was largely due to his good judgment and cool, unselfish bravery. The presentations will be made by | Vice President Pearce at 10 o'clock | this morning on board the steamship Queen, at Broadway wharf. In addi- tion to a gold medal, Captain Cousins will receive a gold, diamond studded | locket, suitably inscribed. There will Ipe gold medals for First Officer the result of exposure; another woman ; — Zeh, Chief Engineer W. J. ! and First Assistant Engin- | eer W. E. Anderson. The medals for the crew will.be of silver, Altogether sixty-seven medals will be given. In| addition to these medals there will be further recognition in a number of instances for conspicuous service. C. D.

Singing “Be- | as an accomplisnment has out- | s popularity, but it is by doing grown this very thing that Miss Peckenbaugh | has placed the Pacific Coast Steamship Company in her debt.\ ‘When the life boats were launched that dark, stormy morning the women and children who had been aroused from warm beds to face the bitter cold and wet were subdued and fearful in the face of the threatening tragedy. In « .e boat a voice was raised in prayer and the sound of weeping was heard above the roar of waters. A voice was raised in song. “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” was the refrain and with trembling lips the fear dazed company joined. The prayer and the hymn combined to deepen the morbid gloom and as the last note of the sacred song | died in a chorus of sobs, a cheery voice made all sit up and take notice. SINGING “BEDELIA.” “What's the matter with you people. | We're not going to die. The fire is getting smaller. We will all be back in our bunks in an hour. If you must sing, sing ‘Bedelia.’ " | With that Miss Peckenbaugh's voice ! was lifted in song and to the amaze- ment ‘of themselves and the wonder of those aboard the steamer, everybody in | the boats was singing “Bedelia.” From | “Bedelia” it was an easy step to other | lively airs and long before the boats | were recalled their occupants were al- | most enjoying the novelty of the stern situation. “For singing ‘Bedella”™ is the in- scription engraved on the token await- | ing Miss Peckenbaugh as soon as'she | can be located. The Queen, thoroughly restored and in some respects improved in the pro- | cess, wilp sail to-morrow for the north on her first voyage since that eventful February morning.
