 The ship, which was of English build and worth probably $15O,OoO, entered th.a port several days ago. She was to have loaded wheat under charter to Eppinger
 & Co. of San Francisco for Europe. Fri- day the Adelina was taken to the Eureka dock and all ballast removed and the hold cleared preparatory to re- ceiving cargo. She was then lowed to < an anchorage several hundred yards northeast of the St. Paul Lumber conn pany's docks, at which point disaster overlook her. She had, according to the best information obtainable the starr board anchor, weighing at least two tons, while to either side of the vessel z, were attached the ballast logs used to keep ship upright during the absence of cargo or ballast. The ship was rid ing easily when the shippers of other vessels anchored close by, retired for the night. When daylight dawned, no signs of the Adelina were visible. Over the spot where the ship rode at anchor the \ night before only a danger signal buoy, lamp was visible. When the absence of x the ship was discovered, Captain DotyN of the tug Fairfield made an examina-S S tion and found that the ship had gone N to the bottom. One of the ballast logs was found. To this dangled part of the chain by which it was originally fas- tened to the ill-fated ship. In addition, X one of the life boats, mattress with the name of the ship on it and several oars were found. Beyond this no wreck age has been discovered. As all onNs beard perished, only surmises as to the cause of the disaster were obtainable. Judging from indications, shipping men say the ballast log found was from the port side of the vessel The ship, ac- cording to all accounts was headed in a southernly directions or towards the head of the bay when the gale struck her.
 The situation was further aggravated by the fact that the tides were just set- ting in at the time he shin is supposed N to have gone down. This, in all proba- bility, forced the stern of the vessel ' around and exposed the broadside to the gales fury Late this afternoon the vessel was located. She lies on her broadside under twenty-three fathoms of water close to the spot where she had been anchored. The vessel will probably be raised and the bodies of the dead sailors recovered. When the Adel-s ina entered this port she was manned by 3 crew of nearly thirty men. Some de- serted and others were discharged untiE only eighteen were left. The only list of victims obtainable is that given by Percy B. Buck, an apprentice, who was Injured two days prior to the disaster and taken to one of the Tacoma hos- pitals. It is said the ship was insured by an English agency for $1OO,000.
