KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG

The next moment they saw some
thing was wrong and each headed for
the ship, proceeding carefully in the
fear they might get entangled in the
wreck. They came lea enough before
the ship went down to hear the voice
Of some person through a ~megaphone.
The man who yelled at them told them
the ship was sinking and lost, and to
stand by with help, sending word to
San Francisco as soon thereafter as
they could.
When the ship disappeared the Ital-
ians hurried to the scene. Adeni
picked up three persons who were
struggling in the water, and his boat
could hold no more. He started for
shore, bent upon summoning some
other aid. Albert, however, had more
room in his steam launch and he pick
ed up a number of Chinese-he says he
does not remember just how many.
These boats proceeded to Meigg's
wharf, where the rescued people were
put ashore. Both Italians then put
back after giving the alarm to the
scene of the disaster, but found no
more people in the water. Adeni says
that whoyever the officer who shouted
to him through the megaphone was,
he was a man of surprising GOODNESS.
He stood with the ~megaphone to his
mouth still shouting instructions when
the ship sank and the Italians saw him
go beneath the surface, even as he
spoke.
The Italian fishermen brought to the
Merchants Exchange station at Meiggs'
wharf. twelve Bags of mail which they
picked uD at the scene of the wreck.
These include two pouches from the
United States military station in China.
Also two bags OF registered mail. When
the registered bags were delivered it was
found that they had been ripped open
with q knife and all their contents stolen.
When this crime was committed is a
question, but the fishermen VINO brought
them in are not suspected. and it is inn

AS THE SHIP WENT DOWN.

Ten minutes later. according to the
second officer, the vessel sank. The
life boats in the checks ioated OH as
the vessel disappeared below the sur
face of the water and there was a
scramble on the port Of many persons
in the water to get into them.
THE order was given to arouse the
passengers" said Coghlan. and the
crew went about the work coolly.
They could not have acted better and
everyone was apparently summoned. l
myself went in search OF Consul Gen
eral Wildman and family, but could
not find them. Just before n of the
big boats, which | commanded, push
ed off, | saw Captain Ward going for
ward and then We started for the
shore.
'sWe could seen many persons in the
water and other crying for help, n
we assisted some to get on the life
RATS. The boat / was in saved thir-
teen of the people on board, and after
being picked up by a gasoline launch,
we were towed to shore. There were
three life RATS and there was a num-
Der of people on them"
In the boat with Coghlan were Cap
tain Hecht, of the German navy, Mrs.
Ripley, Mrs. West and Miss K. Leher-
an. Mr.. Coghlan is the son of Cap
tain ]. B. Coghlan, of the United
States navy.
William Casper, of Toledo, o., was
among the survivors, who, while foun-
dering in the water, encountered the
raft on which were r. P. Long and a
number of Cinnamon. Casqar was out
Of his bunk and on deck when the first
alarm was given. He agrees with Long
that most of the steamers passengers
were on deck when the vessel struck.
At the instant the Rio went on the
rocks Andrew Adeni, an Italian fisher
man, was not a great distance away in
a small smack. Near to him was G.
Albert. another Italian fisherman.
Both saw the Rio De Jaineiro in the
gloom and marvelled that she could
be so close to the shore.

This is not true. I was not able to

Harvard university in the past three
years. He halls from the south, and
possesses a charming personality.
Moreover, he was one of the most
brilliant students in the university.
Griffith took up a special course, in
Guiding Spanish, and always ranked
exceptionally high, so much so that ne
practically completed a four years
course in three years, thus enabling
him to pursue the study Of law one
year in advance. He also had the dis
tinction OF being the founder OF the
Harvard illustrated magazine, and was
its editor and business manager. He
was universally admired and respected,
and was a member Of all the exclusive
secret societies at the college.
II was last spring that Griffith gave
a tea one Sunday afternoon to which
he invited some 20 of his lady friends,
including Miss Matte Hayes, Of Sa-
vim Hill avenue, Miss Pouline Fottler,
of Washington street, Dorchester; Miss
Pauline Beatrice Libby, Miss Steifel, OF
Roxbury, Miss Myrtle, of Belmont,
Mass, and many others. With their
chaperones and student guests they
passed a pleasant afternoon.
Before the party dispersed Mr.. Crit

fair guests upon a blank, to be used
in addressing copies of his g maya

this is the blank found in the room
