Seattle, Jan. 1.-THE seattle-yis
toria steamer Clallam was lost earl,
this morning midway between Smith
island and Dungeness spit, at least 81
persons losing their lives in the disas-
YER. Every person who put off in the
i,ieDoafs' lowered when it was apparent
the steamer could not live out the ter
sific gale that was blowing, drowned.
only those who stayed by the yes-
sci, lighting against the sea for posses
sion OF the craft, we're saved. These
persons were compelled 10 fight desper-
ately for their lives, rushing forward
when the vessel turned on her beam
ends, ciinging frantically to the rails
and finally slipping into the water onto
a life raft that had been lowered
subsequently they we're picked up by
the tugs Sea Lion ard Holyoks.
II was not the fault of the command |
ing officers nor the men in charge of
the lie boats that the passengers who
Iook 10 the boats were lost. When
me life boats were lowered land WAS
within sight, yet the impotent- Clallam
was unable even to make headway
'sainst the gale. Prudence dictated
nat the passengers and such of the
