Every woman and child aboard the
Clallam perished. Within three miles Gi
rhnre and at time when 1t appeared GER
tain the CailAm had been saved despef-
ate effJrt was made to save the women
and children in the lfrbJats. They we're
placed in the frst boat 10 leave the ship,
which Captain Lawrence, Yukon pilot,
volunteered to command and which was
manned by ueckhands The frail craft
went down within sight Of the Clalam
and second lifeboat filed with male pas
sengers and in command Of Second Officer
Currin was probably lost few minutes
later Aboard the Clallam watchers saw
waves sweep passengers from their hold
on the seats and hurl them into the
waters. Though the lifeboat was righted
later, diligent search of the crew were lost
when third lifeboat was swamped in an
attempt to launch it.
Three passengers were picked up by the
steamer Bahata who had fastened life pre-
servers around their bodies. They had
died from exposure and their bodies were
brought to Seattle today.
The Clallam was a staunch new passen
ger boat on the Seattle. Victoria run. Sht
left Port Townsend for Victoria YESTERDAY
noon, facing terrific gale. When in sigh
of her destination huge sea overwhelmed
the little steamer, smashing in her deaC
lights, flooding her hold with water, ex
linguishing the fires beneath her boile
and placing her at the mercy of howlinl
gale.
