CAPTAIN TO BLAME.

Loss Of the Steamer Colima Due to Her
Commanders Obstinscy.
San FRANCISCO, June 8.-The Call,
in its story of the wreck of the Colima
as told by the survivors of the wrecked
vessel, says: The ship was overloaded,
badly loaded, top heavy loaded-all
agree to it. When the gale struck her,
she weathered it badly. Then she ca
reened. There was a list to starboard
and she did not right again. Men called
out to the captain to cut away the deck
loading of heavy spars. The captain
was obdurate. He knew his business,
or fancied he did, and wsnld brook no
suggestions from what he called the
terrified and panic stricken passengers.
The ship listed more and more. Then
she lost her steering power. The cap
tain rang for more steam and would
not cut loose the deck load. The panic
on board grew worse, the fear of death
more intense. Then the captain gave
orders for the crew to keep the passen-
gers within bounds. Whether those
orders went so far as to
withhold Life Preserwers.
from the passengers and to permit
those who sought to do so to come on
deck where they might have had a
chance of battling with the waves is
not known at this time. Steerage and
cabin passengers say they sought to
obtain life preservers and were forcibly
restrained from doing so. Down in
the Storage, guard was posted at the
companionway door and those who es-
capped to the deck in time to cast them
selves into the sea before the vessel
went down, did so only by main force,
by kicking and fighting their way past
the guard.
Those who were saved are some of
those who were wiser than the captain,
who could see their peril more clearly
and had wit enough to throw them
selves into the sea before the Colima
gave her last list to starboard. As she
did this, the captains whistle sounded
to cut loose the deckload Of spars.
