The latest intelligence regarding the dis
aster received was in cipher message to a
San Francisco shipping firm containing
the statement Of Third Officer Hansen.
who was in charge of the boat picked up.
Hansen stated that about 11:15 at night
a. the Colima was about fifty miles from

her machinery. Hansen had not time to
investigate the trouble. but believed a

about, but began to sink rapidly.
A scene of wild confusion followed"
One boat was lowered and most of the
others swung out, but 30 far as Hansen
knows the boat he commanded was the
only one which got clear of the sinking
ship. 1t quickly foundered, and to AVOID
the suction Hansen's boat quickly pulled
clear, and the night being dark, it was in
possible to tell whether the other boats
got away from the ship or not.
