MENDOCINC, Jan. 13.-While cruis-
ing near the entrance to Caspar Har-
Dor this morning the steamer Jewel ran
on reef, and she is now a total wreck,
parts of her lying all along the Shore
When she struck Captain Madsen was
asleep in his cabin, and the vessel was
in charge of the first mate. They had
been lying off shore during the night,
but the vessel had not completed her
cargo, and the mate was evidently try
ing to gain the entrance to the harbor
when she ran on the rocks. 1t was very
dark at the time, and he apparently
lost his bearings. A heavy sea was
running, and the vessel soon began to
break up
The distress signal was blown, and
people from the town were not long in
getting to the wreck, yet it was some
hours before the crew was brought
ashore. This was accomplished by
means of a rope which was thrown
from the shore to the vessel, and on
which sling was rugged and the men
brought over one at time All were
rescued in tins manner except the
cook. He was washed overheard by a
big wave, but succeeded in getting on
some floating wreckage. He drifted out
toward the center of the harbor on his
makeshift raf., and was rescued by
some men in a boat.
All the crew we've saved, and none
were badly hurt except First Assistant
Engineer Horne, who was damned in
the moving cargo of lumber while es-
Gaping from the engine-room and had
his arm broken. He was also internally
injured.
The Jewel was owned principally by
the Caspar Lumber Company, and was
valued at about $4,000 At the time
she struck she had on board some 3O0,-
200 feet of lumber belonging to that
company, the probable value of which
Is in the neighDorhood of $4,000. The
vessel has been reduced to kindling
