They couldn’t realize that the vessels we could see lying in the offing could not reach us. They kept say- ing hejp would surely come, so'they glung to the rigging and went down in the€ end. The Valencia couldn’t have lasted a half- hour after we left her. | “Now, I don’t want to blame any one. { I know all who came to our assistance did everything they could, but I will go had been made a line could have been shot aboard us. Of course, the captains of the rescuing ships did not know, but they could with perfect safety have come within 200 feet of us. They had deep water and plenty of it up to that distance. All we wanted was a line, and yet they did not come anywhere near us. “Of course, they didn't know, but we did, and when the Queen finally turned and sailed away—well, to my dying day 1 will hear the walling of the women and the curses of the men. “Now, I just want to say & word for the women. They weresheroines, every one of them. They were the bravest on board, and at no time did I hear a murmur from any of them. Captain Johnson was calm, collected and cool through it all. He was everywhere, doing everything he could. He had a revolver in his pocket, and he would have used it, too, if the women had accepted the chance to go on that last life-raft and the men had crowded forward to prevent them from doing so.” ———————— SECRETARY TAFT DENIES PHILIPPINES ARE TO BE SOLD Cables to Tslands to Set the Minds | of the Natives at Rest on the Matter. 38 | WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The following: cablegram has been received by the Sec- retary of War from Governor Ide at Manila: “Nativés much disturbed by cable stat- ing Embassador White has been aithor- ized to negotfate cale of islands to Japan.

During the afternoon the Topeka made an effort. to geg‘d provisions ashore through the surf. The Lorne was to take them near the shore and cast them adrift, but found it impossible to get close enough to the line of breakers. Just at sunset the Topeka started on ber return trip to Seattle, via Port Town- send. As the vessel steamed up the étraits past the place where the Valencla met her fate long lines of broken spars and other wreckage floated past in the ebb tide toward the sea. The steamship pro- ceeded slowly through these mute re- minders of the awful fate that had over- takern a hundred lives and on to Seattle. T CHEERS FROM WRECK. ! Passengers Cry Out Wildly at Sight of Helpless Rescue Party. VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 26.—Systematic patrols are being organized in Barkley Sound and parties of Indians sent to the different islands in the hope of finding other survivors of the Valencla'disaster. Since the discovery of the survivors of the second life-raft on Turret Island the fishing Jaunch Shamrock has been cruis- ing among the islands near the entrance to the Sound, which are in thq way of the current setting from the scene of the dis- aster, and the settlers on Uculet Penin- sula, near where the Pass of Melfort was lost, are scouring the beach also. It is ex- pected that the greatest number of bodies will be found on the islands of Barkley Sound, as the tide and current will carry them to the westward from the scene of the wreck, now breaking ‘Into fragments and scattering debris along the coast line. The wreck is fifteen yards from the bluff, and when they reached the top of this bluff on the morning of Wednesday they could plainly see the people clinging to the rigging and others huddled on the top deck. The people on the shipwrecked vessel cheered wiliily when they saw the party on shore, evidently thinking their rescuers had come. Impotent, the party stood watching while the waves swept the persons from the rigging. About 12 o'clock noon that day an im- mense wave struck the wreck and crushed everything to pieces. Everybody was at once swept to destruction from the while would-be rescuers watched from the. shore, unable to do anything to avert the awful calamity. Nine bodies were recovered at noon to- day. The bodlies of four men were picked up this morning. None has been identl- fied. The shore for five miles is strewn with all kinds of liquor—claret, port, sherry, gin and whisky. About 100 kegs have been washed up on the beach. BSixty of them are unbroken, There are also great quan- tities of olive oil, canned and fresh fruit and vegetables on the beach. R 0 B MEN’S MINDS WEAKEN. Awful Struggle on Raft Nearly Makes Maniacs of Survivors. SEATTLE, Jan. 26.—Among the pas-.| sengers brought in to-day on the Topek& was Joseph McCafferty. His description of the experiences of the men on the raft is vivid. He said: “If we had been an hour longer on that raft I believe every man would have gone insane. One could tell by the lookg in the eyes of his companions that reason was departing. Just touch some of the men and they would growl like some trapped animal. “I was pulling on one of the oars with 2 poor fellow whose strength was about exhausted. He would work like mad for a few moments and then his head would drop on his breast and his hands would relax their grasp. ‘ ‘Keep on working,” I would urge. ‘If you want to get out of this and reach the shin, pull, for God’'s sake, pull.” “Then he would rise again to the task and in that manner we succeeded in reaching. the boat crew. from the To- peka. “There were two or three men on the raft who kept up the spirit of their com- panions by cheering them on and holding out every hope of rescue within a short time. “When we sighted the boat putting away from the Topeka one fellow on the raft broke forth into a song. But the words died in his throat—his heart was too full. I don't know the words of that song he sang. I was too stupefied to remember.” BT SIGHT MEN ON BEACH. Tug Officer Sends Message by Mega- phone, but Receives No Answer. VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 26—The tug Lorne, which returned at midnight from the Valencia wreck, wasulzl into Esqui- malt on arrival to land a party of four- teen bluejackets from the H. M. 8. Eg- erie under Lieutenant Xnight, who were c¢hosen from the entire ship's crew, all hands of which volunteered to endeavor to assist any persons who remained at the wreck. The Lorne went close to the wreck and the Bg- eria’s crew rowed to within fifty yards, finding fjhe vessel entirely submerged and considerable’ wreckage and debris was scattered about, but no hodies were seen. - e The steamship Salvor, spoken in_ the afternoon, reported having seen three men on ‘the beach near a hut about a mile and a half from the wreck, and the biuejackets from the. Egeria, under Lieutenant Knight, went toward the shore in theiy lifebomt, having great difficuity. Lieutenant Knight mega- phoned to the men on the beach, - but could not be heard. - He siders they were not shipwrecked men, *having made no effort to get-off. ' 5 The steamship City' of Topeka was spoken and her master asked the e Hgeria's crew to take on a barrel’ of provisions which a boat brought over from the To- peka. Those on _Lorne told the To- peka's erew to take on the barrél as their ‘boat was out, and the boat went, bt was recalled whén near she * 4 et SRS BEAUTIFUL GIRL IS BRAVE.

Young Pickering is gcarcely over 21 years old and had considerable property south of Mar- ket street, but chose to follow the sea because of his love of adventure. Y FEAR PETERS IS LOST. Fopaad Alaskan Safled on Valencia, Though Name Is Not on List. LOS ANGE; , Jan, 26.—The wife and son of D.'N. Peters, a passenger on the wrecked Valencia, are convinced that he is_among the vietims. ¢ His name does not appear among those of survivors and :telegraphic and tele- phone messages to San Francisco estab- lish the fact beyond doubt that he took passage on the steamer. Peters was booked for Dawson and he was en route to an interior portién of Alaska, where he had five mining claims which he had been operating for sev- eral years. He had spent seven years in Alaska and this was to nave been his last trip. His mines were worth a com- fortable fortune. Fred J. Rivears, efectrician of the Port- land Exposition who is here with the Oregon excursionists and whao has re- mained in Los Angeles the past two days awaiting tidings from his cousin, Mrs. Martha Orchand, stewardess of the Va- lencia, received a telegram from Portland to-night stating that Mrs. Orchand was safe, having failed to sail with “the steamer on its last trip. NOTED FUCITIVE UNOER ARRES James Maines Who Figured in British Forgery Is Caught in New York City Bpecial Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA TAKES STEPS TO PROTECT MEN OF SEA Wreck Arouses Citiiéns to the Need of Rocky Western Shore. Guards Along Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 26.—At an emergency meeting of the Board of Trade and a citizens’ meeting summoned by Mayor Morley to-day strong resolu- tions were adopted urging the Do- minion Government to take immediate action to establish life-saving facilities on the west coast of Vancouver Island. From an official source your correspond- ent is e ed to outline what steps the Government is ]ékaly to take. The plan is to_establish every ten miles a hut with a good sailor stationed thereat, ea¢h hut to be in communication by wire with the next onme, thus giving complete wire connection along the en- tire coast. As it is not believed that the sailor in charge could master any elaborate telegraph code, each hut will have a dial similar to those on messen- ger call boxes, with such words as “All well,” “Require Assistance,” printed thereon. These men Avill thus be able to send almost immediately news of a wreck and summon assistance by land or sea. As the men would be only ten miles apart, they would be within reach of anything within five miles on either side of the various huts. And no doubt local knowledge would enable them to find a place from which, without travel- ing far, they could see to the extremity of their districts. - Each hut is to be supplied with a rocket gun set on a form of barrow with necessary line and rockets, so that it could be wheeled to where it was re- quired to pass a line to a wreck. This, with a breeches buoy, would succeed saving people when nothing could be done from seaward. i - e AID FOR' THE DISABLED. Food and Clothing for Survivors Who Francisco.) J.

The survivors reached Bamfield late to-day. Unless some survivors are to be found on floating wreckage—a small hope—it is not expected that more than the thirty-seven or forty men now accounted for will survive the disaster which in- volved the loss of 117 lives. A search is still being made by the whaler Orion, following the trend of the current in the hope of sighting any one that still lives on the wreckage. This hope is slimly held, for it is now over two days since the wreck broke up. How- ever, when the steamer Pacific was lost off Cape Flattery in 1873, the two sole survivors lived for flve days on floating wreckage before being picked up. AR L opt FRANK CONNORS ALIVE. Indians Locate Valeneia Survivor om Turtle Island. VICTORIA, Jan. 26.—Another sur- vivor of the Valencia has been found— Frank Connors, a waiter, who was dis- covered on Turtle Island in a very ex- hausted condition. The steamship Salvor reported at night that she had from the Valencia off Turtle Island. On the raft were three bodies, which have been identified as those of Wal- lace, a walter; Nelson, third engineer, and an American soldier and marine from the United States steamship Com- I cord. ——— Ashes Strewn om River. in| PORTLAND, Jan. %.—The ashes of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Cassidy were to-day 0 COWARDS AMONC, MEN O THE SHIP Survivor Declares Every JMale on TIll-Fated Vessel Acted Bravely and Remem- bered Women at All Times CAPTAIN DESPERATE BUT CALM TO LAST Skipper Johnson and Chief Engineer Downing Pre- pared to End Lives When Al Hope Had Gone Spectal Dispatch to The Call SEATTLE, Jan. 28—~1 think it is a shame to say the men who escaped from the Valencia were cowards. Every- thing man could do was dome to induce the women to leave the ship ia every boat amd raft that went over the side. They simply would not go. We whe did suceeed in weathering the heavy seas and reached the Topeka fully ex- pected to die whem we made the at- tempt.” This is the way C. Allison of St Paul, the “grand old man” of the Va- lencia wreek, talked fo a reporter at the Rainler-Grand this morning. Con- tinuing, he said: “I have not much to say about the wreck. The stewardess, Mrs. Mary Mus- 8rove, and Captain Johnson were heroic at all times and both went down with the ship. Mrs. Musgrove, especlally, did more than any one else in cheer- ing up the woman. But they all were brave. If there was any cowardice dis- played, I didn't see it.” Captain Johnson, Mrs. Musgrove, the stewardess, and most of the other of- ficers, the survivors say, went down with the ship. It is related that while Mrs. Musgrove was leading in the sing- ing of “Nearer, My God, to The the end drew . near, Captain Johnsen and Chief, Engineer Downing walked the decks with revolvers, ready to end their lives after all hopes were gone. ce Captain Johnson paced the detks and when Sailor Marks and Quartermaster Tarpey stopped to talk with him, he said: “My God, what shall I do?" “Stay by the ship,” they answered. “Shall I commit suicide now and have it over with?” he cried. The men prevailed upon hinr to wait a few hours longer in hope that hoats would be sighted. The work of rescue has been practically abandoned. There is but the faintest hope of any one be- ing left to rescue. All that remains is the effort to find the bodies. NAUTICAL SCHOOL MAY GET A VESSEL Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—An obsolets naval vessel may be secured for the use of the nautical training school at San Francisco. Semator Perkins has written to Govergor Pardee asking his co-opera- tion in th® matter, the law providing that such vessel may be obtained on request of the Governors of States In which cer- to detall a naval officer for duty at the school as instructor. Captain H. Taylor, 520 Battery street, Francisco, made the suggestion to Sena~ tor Perkins and all the nautical schools applying for the privilege of using =& vessel will doubtless be accommodated. The commercial and maritime organiza- tions of San Francisco will be asked to co-operate in the attempt to get the ves- sel. —— DOAN’S PILLS.

Knowing that my kidneys were either sluggish or over- \excited, it struck me if Doan's Kidney * Pills were for those organs alone they might help me to tide over a rather severe attack of backache and I took them.
