CRASHED UPON 4
 SUBMERGED ROCK
The Barbara BOSCOWitz
 Wrecked.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. G., Sept. 23.-The steamship Barbara Boscowitz was driven upon a rock four miles above Kitkatlah at noon on Friday last while bound northward. Her crew arrived here this morning on the Princess Louise. When they left the Boscowitz was lying on her side with water sweeping through her, and was likely to become total loss. At high tide she was all but covered, only the upper works being visible.
 Kitkatlah is an Indian fishing village south of Goshen Islands. The weather was clear and calm, but the swift cur rent baffied all attempts to steer the vessel and she crashed upon a sub- merged rock. The rock shows at low tide. Most of the passengers were be- low at luncheon.
 An attempt was made to back the vessel, but 1t was unavailing. The coal end the cargo were shifted to the after part of the vessel, the passengers aid ing the crew. Then the boat arose some, but still was fast on the jagged rocks. Then the current swung the stern round closer to the rocks, which impaled her bow, and with the falling of the tide she gradually rolled over on her starboard side.
 Surveyor Wilkinson, his wife and a nurse were among the passengers. They lowered their boat and rowed to Kitkatkah and sent h. dians to rescue the others. A large fleet of sloops, canoes and skiffs put out, towing a scow to receive freight from the doomed vessel. The passengers were taken off and all the freight un- loaded.
 Then the vessel keeled over. Several on board had narrow escapes, some jumping from the deck on to the scow, and others below making their way out of the portholes. In the fall the steamer almost wrecked the scow The freight and passengers were landed at Kitkatlah.
 Captain Steele does not expect to get the vessel off. She is too badly dam aged, and will likely prove total loss. The Boscowitz was built here in 1883. She was 120 feet long. 22 feet beam and 10 feet hold. She is owned by Captain Warren and has been a money maker ever since she has been in the service. Captain Steele and all her officers are spoken well of and are regarded as careful navigators.

Wants q Democrat on the Ticket

Our neighbor the Republican Idea
would not be a bad slate maker. He
expresses this preference for an old
Democratic war horse:
General Joe Wheeler says
there has been a lot of false litera-
ture published about the treatment
Of the soldiers. There has been
ample food, clothing and care by
the best management for the best
soldiers on earth. Old Joe ought
to know, for he has kept with them
right along. But the Democrats
must say something mean and bad
about the government or run dry.
The condition of having nothing to
say, is a very embarrassing one
lust now to the little boy Bryan,
and 50 his friends are "clacking
lies'' about the army, according to
that old Democrat Joe Wheeler.
If this old soldier of two great
American wars keeps on telling
the truth, he viii quite likely be
elected in 1900 as Vice. residen1
OF the United States on the Repub'
lfcan ticket.
