Their Boat Capsized While They Were
Taxing Christmas Sail
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-One of the
saddest accidents of the year occurred yes
terday afternoon about o'clock. in which
six persons lost their lives. A party of
seven, consisting of Andrew Zega, his
sister Kate, George Stump and wife, Matte
Coates, Mary Morales, d a boatman.
whose name could not be learned, left early
IN the afternoon for boat house about six
miles from the city, for the purpose of
taking sail on the bay. The party en-
parked. and all went well until a heavy sea
set in, when some of the occupants of the
boat became frightened and wanted to re-
turn home.
THE BOAT CAPSIZED.
Finally it was agreed to start home, and
the boatman started to jib his sail when a
sudden gust of wind upset the boat, throw
ing the occupants into the water. All
scram led to reach the capsized boat but
none of them succeeded except the boatman,
and all the others were drowned. The
boatman drifted about for some time, but
by his cries attracted the attention of some
men on schooner, who rescued him. The
party was made up on Christmas eve at the
house of one Zega, where a number of
friends were assembled at Christmas tree
party. All the unfortunates were residents
of this city except Miss Morales, whose
home is in Pasadena.
