over her and seaman James George
saws he heard the fail bark crash
upon the rocks.
Then there was tlree-quarters of
an hour misery for those left on
board and one after another was
washed away as she lay capsized
alongside the rocks. This was heart
rending to the survivors. To see the
angry waves pitk off man after man
and wonder whather you, yourself,
might be the next was hard trial on
nerves and it is no wonder that no
clear account OF the Incident canSbe
given. Clinging to the breaking
ship, hoping against hope, a plank
from the general smash suddenly
gave chance OF getting ashore. 1t
was as frail as q thread and many
man of those saved had really no
idea how he used it. Fortunately
Mr.. Pardee, the third officer, was
man of great nerve and GOODNESS and
got his survivors ashore. To him is
undoubtedly due the lessening of the
disaster. Had it not been for his
courage and GOODNESS the probability
is that every soul would have been
lost. The shore was so near it SEEM
ed to the suffering men that 1t only
required them to throw themselves
into the sea to reach safety. But
such throwing meant death!
Once ashore the story is soon told.
Shivering, undercothed, these poor
men sought the road in body, 1S of
them out of the 3S that had sailed
from San Francisco only three weeks
before. 1t was found, and in the
early hours, as they tramped along,
Louis Martinez, Piute Indian, who
had been given up for lost, joined
them. He had been in the mizzen
crosstrees and had been carried on
to the rocks by wave. When he
overlook his companions he said:
"Good God l thought you were all
dead! J"
Enquiring their way from Ha-
waiian, the party found the house of
the Deputy Sheriff, six miles distant,
and there, of course, they were taken
care of and arrangements were made
to bring them into Hilo, % miles
distant. 1t is no easy matter to
move so large party or even to
| provide for it at moments notice,
and Sheriff Eldarts deserves great
credit for the manner IN which he
managed.
The wreck occurred near Honolulu
of Puma, and hardly vestige of the
vessel was to be seen at daylight,
1t is undoubtedly most appalling
catastrophe. Those who have gone
must have our sympathy, those who
survive deserve that and something
more substantial.
