mate, :aet their death, the other mate
and seamen meeting with terrible acci-
dents, tells the tale Of the wrecking of
the big four r-masted English ship Jean
cite Cowan on Vancouver island. This
frightful news was brought to this city
during the afternoon by tug which
had but q few hours before landed IA
members of the iD-fated crew at Port
Townsend. The tug first sighted the
wrecked ship on Saturday afternoon.
No sign Of the crew could be seen on
the shore. The sea was running pretty
high but
Two Boats Were Lowered
and start made for the ship A por-
ton Of the crew conld be seen on top Of
high bluff, ON which tent had been
pitched. A sight met the gaze of the
rescuers that will not be forgotten for
years to come. Seated about a fire were
ls men, all wearing an expression Of
utter hopelessness and misery. First
Mate Charles Legal, who was lashed
to chair, suffering from fractured
leg, told Mate Hall of the tug Tyee the
story of the disaster. He said the Cowan
came from Cape Town, South Africa,
for Royal Roads, B. c., and was 108
days out when she reached Cape Flat
terry on Dec. 10. There was terrible
storm off the cape, and the vessel stood
off two days before trying to come in.
Then she was
Driven Quickly to the Northward
by strong southwest wind and sought
shelter in the treacherous waters of
Barclay sound, to avoid being driven
ashore on some more exposed point.
The sound afforded but little shelter
and she was driven on the rocks. This
was o'clock on the morning of Dec.
81 and a snow storm was coming on.
The ship seemed to be breaking in two
and it was decided to leave her at once
and with the aid Of line made fast
ashore the entire crew were taken off.
Captain Thompson died three days
before the arrival of the Tyee, from ex-
posture and the three others on the next
day from the same cause. The second
mate and two apprentice boys met their
death while trying to make land in q
small boat the night the ship struck.
