San Francisco. Feb. 23.-The sinking
of the Pacific Mail steamer City of Ric
de Janeiro, after striking rock in
the Golden Gate during the dense fog
Friday morning, was the most appall'
| ing disaster this coast has known foi
| many years. Most of the bodies of the
800 and more victims are at the bot
tom OF the sea, and many Ct them
may never be recovered. The water
where the ship lies is deep and the
current swift, and the dead, with
most OF the wrcckage, will probably
bc carried far out into the PRciii D.
The number Of lives lost may never
be known exactly, owing to the fact
that the shiI's records were lost, ard
it is practically impossible 10 tell just
how many Chinese were in the
Asiatic steerage.
The Call, ba ing IL. figures on state
ments of the Pacific Mail officials, says
that 122 persons pc shed. TIE Chroni-
Gle gives the number at 12s and the
Examiner states that Ill can not be
accounted for. The vessel, with it's
valuable cargo, will be a total loss.
Much difficulty has been experienced
IN obtaining the names of the passer-
gers and crew. but the following lists
oi those known TO have been drowned
and those saved are believed to b.
accurate:
