MARINE DISASTER.
A Maine Ship Wrecked on the
Pacific Coast,
TEN .oF THE OFFICERS AND CREW
DROWNED.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sep. ga Spanish town
dispatch saws ship Alice Buck, from New York
with railroad iron, struck Hovious Rocks, two
miles below yesterday morning, and is a total
wreck Ten of twenty-four men on board
were drowned. The ship had been leaking for
two days, and the captain signaled for a tug,
evidently intending to put into San Francisco
for repairs. On Monday spoke steamer Ocean
ic, and got the course to San Francisco. AT
A p. m. Monday the captain, Herman Her
mingsen, thought he was southwest of the
Farallones about 81 miles, and steered north
east. Shortly after midnight, the sky being
clear and starry and pretty good sea running,
struck with crash on the rocks, not over
1900 feet from high cliff Two mates and
part of the crew were instantly panic stricken,
and jumped from the ship into the waves.
That was the last seen of them. The captain
and the rest of the crew, with life perservers
only, left the ship when there was not enough
of her hull to stick to- Some reached the
shore, assisted by people on the bluffs, and the
rest were picked up by steamer Salnal. Capt.
Hermingsen was picked up after being in the
water nine hours, supported by two life pre-
servers. The following were lost: William
Barry, first mate; D. Croker, second mate;
George Parker, boy; David Black, Charles
Reader, Patrick WEIGH and John Gunnison,
seamen; and two Cinnamon, cook and Stew
ard.
1.-THE Alice Buck registered 1435 tons, was
built at Belfast, Me-, and was owned by R. P.
Buck & Co. New York..

A Brute Who Deserved Hanging
DISAGREEING DOCTORS.

Report by DR.. Shrady, on the Presidents
case.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27-Dr. George F. Shrady,
who went to Washington at the invitation of
Dr. Bliss to examine the history of the Presi-
dents case, returned home this evening. In
conversation with Tribune reporter he said
that after talk with DIR. Bliss, and after ex-
aiming the viscera, which are preserved at
the Medical Museum, he was convinced that
all had been done that was possible to preserve
the Presidents life. My own examinations, he
continued, confirm the results of the autopsy as
far as they have been made known. The i'm
mediate cause of death was the rupture of the
blood sac attached to the spleen's artery. As
this sac rested on the track of the ball, probe
inserted in the wound and carried to it would
have punctured it, in which case death would
have resulted instantly. The ball in its passage
is supposed to have injured tie artery. the
blood sac was the result of this injury.
Statement by DR.. Boynton.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 28.-In an interview DIR.
Boynton denies that he was censured by Drs.
Asnew and Hamilton at Elberon for making
statements at variance with their views of the
Presidents case. He repeated his already pub
lished statement in regard to py9mia and the
lung trouble. He was asked, ibid you state
as reported in Chicago paper that the ball
was accidently found loose and rafting around
in the bottom of the bowl in which the intes
tines had been placed?" and replied, mo sir,
made no such statement. I may have stated in
private conversation, not expecting it to be
made public, that when the contents of the alb
dominal cavity were removed and placed in
into the bowl, where it was afterwards discov-
ered after the failure to find il in the region of
the pus cavity, which had been mistaken for
the track of the ball"
