SENCERS Of THE IED FERRYbT TELL Of TERROR Of SRECK
AND INSIST THAT MANY LIVES MUST HAVE BEEN SACRIFICED IN THE DISASTER

after being saved. l noticed a great many
of our life preservers--nearly all of the
passengers of the San Rafael had them
on. There were plenty of life preservers.
We threw hundreds of them over from
the Sausalito. Some of those saved had
two and three life preservers strapped
around them. There were a number OF
Chinese aboard our boat and not one ef-
fort was made by them to save any one.
They were perfectly indifferent. I no.
ticed every one of the men that did any
work at all spoke good English.
Immediately after the clash we-quite
a number of the men-went to the rail
and tried TO throw over ropes and things,
but some one in authority, or
some one that assumed authority, ordered
us back. We went back from the rail.
but nothing seeming to be done we again
went to the rail and threw ropes and life
preservers overheard. Had we stayed
back l don't believe there would have
been as many saved as there were.
1--WE left at $40 and about 7:40 the San
Rafael went down. In the meantime she
sank gradually and then went down with
a rush. In going down she scraped the
guards of the Sausalito and in doing so
injured severely several of the Passengers.

We felt the boat sinking beneath us, and
everybody cried out TO save himself The
accident took place, as near as ! can
judge. about fifteen minutes after we left
the slip. People began to jump into the
water, some with and others without life
preservers. Many of these must have
been drowned. ! remained on the lower
deck after the collision for several min

this time the San Rafael was sinking rap

pulling me aboard when two men caught
my legs and held me. / begged them TO
take hold of the rope below me, so that
we might all be saved, and they took nay
advice. All Of us were dragged aboard
the Sausalito in safety.
i saw many women and children on
the upper deck, and my belief is that
some Of these were drowned There was
considerable confusion, and the loss Of
life is due TO that cause. We were dt a
standstill when the Sausalito bore down
upon US. The whistles blew at intervals
and the fog was so thick one couldn't see

'They say that several men and women
lost their lives during the struggle and
that several children were left to go
down with the steamer. Personally,
don't know anything at all about 1t, but
l don't think there was baby aboard
the ship but was carried over the gang

a child was lost.
THE whole accident was due to the

In Marin County and in all that time
have never run into such a heavy fog
as was on the bay last night have now
got an idea OF what my father used to
call London fog. There was no con-
fusion on the vessel. Captain Mckenzie
handled his men like seaman; the boats
were got out; the life belts were all
ready to hand and outside of the usual
panic that results from a collision there
was nothing very much to talk about
The two vessels stayed together for all
of fifteen minutes and I think everybody
got from the San Rafael to the Sausa-
Ito. If anybody, went down with the San
Rafael l don't know anything about It
and think 1t will take an investigation
to prove that they did go down.

Some of them-quite a number of them
were seen to be badly cut, probably from
this mode Of escape.
After the rescue those of the San Ra-
fael that were saved were greatly excited

struck it was about an hour before the
San Rafael went down. j know of two
boats that the Sausalito lowered. There
seemed TO be a little delay In getting the
boats off While think Captain McKen-
zie of the Sausalito did his best to regu-
late the crew, the crew didn't seem to
work in any way in unison or with any
effect or intelligence. as they left It en-
tirely to the passengers TO save life,

fort to save life.
Another thing. there didn't seem to be
rope or anything to save life available.
We had TO dig around ourselves TO find
things. ! should judge there were at
least twenty-five or thirty lives lost from

heard. One of our passengers in trying
TO save a man lost his footing and fell

OF :he restaurant crawled 10 the stern
of the San Rafael and made my way
aboard the Sausalito. The men on board
the San Rafael acted In the most COM
mendable manner / saw many assisting
ladies aboard the Sausalto. There was
no excitement to speak Of; at least not as
much as usually occurs on such occasions.
There was little excitement shown when
the captain told us to hurry aboard the
Sausalito. The captain seemed to have
good control OF himself
when the boats collided there was an
old man. whom l understand was from
Corte MADEIRA, seated In the restaurant
near the side. One OF his ears was COM
piece OF timber.
The scene when the Sausalito landed at
the dock was one of tremendous excite
ment. Men rushed frantically of the
steamer and FASTENED TO various places
where they could find a telephone to no
tify friends ma relatives OF their safety.
Hysterical women wept and ran excited
ly about looking for friends. The news
Of the disaster spread about the water
frcnt with lightning rapidity and large
crowd gathered al the. SausaIito's dock.
The clang, ciang of the ambulance bell
as the vehicle hurried through the crowd
TO pack the few injured and half drowned
survivors to the hospital added to the ex-
citement. Lieutenant OF Police Jack Mar

with score OF policemen and they did
good work In keeping the crowd In check

JAMES MOORE FALLS

Springs for Safety From the San
Rafael and Strength Fails Him
at a Critical Moment

James Moore Of Ross Valley, an en-
ploye OF the Nevada Bank. was a pas
senger on the San Rafael He said:
There was the usual Saturday night
crowd on the San Rafael when she left
at 6:15 for Sausalito. There was a dense
fog. and Captain Mckenzie OF the San
Rafael sent the ship along under a slow
bell. We were about half way between
Lombard-strect wharf and AlcatraZ
Island when the Sausalito crashed into
us. 1 was smoking cigar on the for
ward deck of the San Rafael, and Il
seemed TO me that the Sausalito struck
us just about amidships. There was
terrific crash, and Immediately there was
wild confusion. Men, women and children
rushed for life prescrvers. Some of them
jumped overheard as soon as the steam
ers collided, but ! made up my mind to

preserver and knew that would float for
a while, at least. There was an attempt
to lower boat on the San Rafael, but !
do not believe many people got off In It.
There was too much confusion.
Mr.. Tompkins of the Hongkong and
Shanghai Bank was with me, and he
agreed with me to stay on the boat as
long as we could. Between ten and ff-
teen minutes after the first crash the
San Rafael went under. AS she went
down | jumped for the Sausalito, which
was close by. and caught on her rail. L
was not strong enough to haul myself UP,
SO hung on and shouted for help. None
of the crew of the Sausalito heard me,
and finally let go my hold from exhaus-
tion and dropped into the water. My life
prescrver kept me afoat, and twenty
minutes later ] got hold of a rope lowered
from the Sausalito and was hauled on
board of that vessel I was almost COM
pletcly exhausted and had given up all
hope when l was finally rescued"
Mr.. Moore, who is about so years old,
thinks his escape was miraculous. In his
opinion most Of the passengers on the
San Rafael were saved. He said:
THE two boats stayed together after
the collision. 1t was soon learned on the
Sausaljto that she was not seriously in
jured. and the people on board her took
immediate steps to rescue the unfortunate
passengers on the San Rafael. She ran
q sangplank over to the sinking vessel
and many Of our passengers escaped in
that way.
After the San Rafael went down the
Sausalito stayed by and lowered ropes to
those floating In the water.
''Of course. 1 cannot pretend to be ac-
curate. but / would not place the loss of
life over twenty. 1t seems to me that
most of the passengers must have been
saved"

Into the Water.

William Terry, note teller of the Lon
don and San Francisco Bank, was pas
senger on the San Rafael and was on
his way to Millwood, where he resides.
Terry says he was unable to make his
way to the decks of the Sausalito and
was precipitated into the water by the
sudden lurching of the vessel after she
was struck by the Sausalito.
II found myself in the water almost
before l knew It," said Terry, although

set about to keep my head above water.
/ had no sooner done so when l felt two
little arms eritwine around my neck and

thrown into the water and had taken
that way to save himself. l found no
difficulty to support him. but when

! felt that could not keep UP under the
double strain. Help was close at hand,
however, and none too soon, for I felt
that myself and two charges would soon
sink or would have to shake them off.
We were picked up by the rescuers be-.
fore anything serious happened, and

mental in saving two lives"
Mr.. Terry was brought to this side by
the Sausalito and then departed on the
same boat at $3.50 p. m. for his home In
