Left Wrecked Steamer In Boats and Are
Probably Lost.
A San Francisco dispatch says: I'm
certainty as 10 the fate of the overdue
steamer Cleveland, which sailed De-
cember 4th for Seattle, was ended
Wednesday by the receipt OF tele-
gram from Captain Hall, master Of the
ship, to the owner, Captain Charles
Nelson, Of San Francisco.
From the rather indefinite details so
far received it appears that the steam
er is q total wreck on the west coast OF
Vancouver island, in Barclay sound,
twelve miles north of Cape Beale.
Twenty-Five men put off from the
ship in small boats. None Of these
boats have as yet been heard from and
il is feared they are lost, although it is
possible they may have landed on the
coast Of Vancouver island at some
remote point. The captain, chief en-
gineer, purser, three sailors and one
fireman, who remained on board the
Cleveland, succeeded in reaching the
shore safely.
The only passengers on the ship
were W. L. Deittrick and Frank Ger
than, who are among the missing.
The vessel and cargo were valued at
s75, 900, on which there is very little
insurance.

was formerly an Atlantic Liner, run
