Aberdeen, Feb. 12-tspecfel. 1.-The Bulletin
will tomorrow publish a statement Of five per-
sons re idents OF Copalis precinct, NORTH Beach,
the scene Of the wreck OF the ship Ferndale,
that the public has been given wrong i'm
preston of certain things connected with that
disaster. 1t is claimed oy the signers OF this
statement that undue credit 10 given to the
bravery OF Mrs. White and that her labors in be-
portance over that of Others. William r. Walsh
claims to have first discovered the wreck, and
went to the house of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
White at daylight, finding them both in bed.
He patroled the beach for some time, hoping
that line would come ashore on
the incoming tide from the vessel,
so that he could render assistance or
that If the men should attempt
to swim ashore he could be there to help them
out of the breakers. Owing to the fog and rain
and spray from the breakers he could not see
any living thing on the ship fhc only sailor
rescued by Mrs White was Peterson, the other
two being looked after by others on the beach
Half dozen or more persons assisted in getting
the men to the home of the Whites, and Mr..
William Farrell furnished clothing for the naked
survivors. The statement is made public not to
detract from Mra Whites heroism nor for
notoriety by those SHINING 1t, but that credit
may be given where 1t is due. 1t is signed by
William p. Walsh and substantiated by Mrs NJ.
J. Henninger, Mrs. Mary Farrell and W. Farrell,
who were among those giving aid and succor to
the sailors who came ashore in helpless condi-
ton.
