T e SEATTLE, Jan. 2%.—Among those who are supposéd to have perished when the Valencla went to pleces was J. B. Gra- ham, a passenger, and with him went a bag containing $1500 in gold. Survivors of the wreck say that Graham frantically offered the bag of gold to any one who would place him on shore. But the others paid little heed to the pleadings of the man, and his gold lay on the broken deck, kicked underfoot, no one bothering to even pick it up. “It was one time when gold would not buy what was wanted,” said one of the survivors as he related the story on the steamship Topeka. “I'm coming into a safe harbor with- out a cent. Why, even this shirt I have on belongs to another man, and I haven't even a hat. But that bag of gold, or this ship lcaded with bullion, wouldn't tempt me into such a place again.” Graham recently sold a mine In Alaska for $60,000.

Captain Patterson expects to find the weather sufficiently calmed by the time he reaches there to enable him to make a landing. HOPING AGAINST HOPE. Parties of men and tugs have been sent scené. The Inudians have been employed to beat the bush in case any survivors have wandered inland. Up to. the present time thirty-seven men leaves 117 still unaccounted for. Some leave the ship. It has not been reported and it is possible that it has made the shore somewhere in the vicinity of the wreck, .If the three men seen on the beach are survivors the total number saved will be forty. b The twenty-tbree men who were brought to Seattle on the Topeka were sent to hotels by the steamship company and will be kept there until they have ar- ranged plans for the future.

SEATTLE, Jan. 26.—The steamship City of Topeka, sent to the rescue of the persons on board the Valencia, ar- rived in Seattle at 5:30 o'clock this morning with twenty-three survivors aboard. A majority of these remained on board the vessel until the offices of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company were opened this morning. They were taken to a hotel and provided for. Not a man who was saved brought any of his per- sonal effects off the wreck, with the ex- ception of the clothing he wore and what few articles were in his pockets. During Wednesday night the City of Topeka lay inside the straits and early Thursday morning ran westward along the Vancouver shore toward the scene of the wreck. The weather was clear and everything could be seen on the Washington and Vancouver shores. When oft Carmanah Light fog and rain set in around the ship, and the line, half a mile away, was blotted out. At about 10 o’clock the tug Lorne was sighted near the place where the Valen- cia struck.
