REPORT DENIED.

Mr.. E. W. Heath, builder of the Clallam,
denied report circulated that the steam
er was top-heavy. He says stauncher
built boat was never turned out of yard
ON the Sound.
Captain Carter, now of the steamer
Whatcom, but who formerly commanded
the Clallam, laughs at the idea of the
Clallam being in any way poor sea boat,
and says that she would live in gale
that the tugs sent to her rescue could not
weather.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Jan. g.
During a terrible storm in the Straits of
Juan de Fuca, the Puget Sound Naviga-
ton company's steamer Clallam foundered
at Ills o'clock this morning. When she
alongside of her, but in the face of the
gale that was blowing and the heavy sea
she could do nothing towards saving the
ill-fated vessel.
The efforts of the crew of the tug were
directed toward saving the lives of the
passengers on the steamer. Less than
one-third of them were rescued. The others
went to their death beneath the waves.
The scene was never to be forgotten by
those who survived. Men, women and
children were drowned while the waves
were dishing over the vessel on which they
were passengers.
Those who were strong enough to make
their way to the tug or to hold on to life
RATS until help arrived were saved, but
the great majority went down and were
seen no more.
Those who were drowned were mostly
women and children, who were too weak
to battle with the waves long enough to
hold out until help came. The crew of
the ocean tug worked like heroes to save
the drowning. The latest reports put the
number of missing and drowned at 65.
Nearly all of those who persisted were
residents along the Sound. The greater
nuIlDHT were OCdbblC, olbhOuBh
number of people from Tacoma and other
cities were on the steamer when she foun-
dered.
When the tug Holyoke located the Clal-
lam last night she was in sinking con-
dition, between Smiths island and Dun
eeness spit. The passengers were huddled
in the cabins.
1t was hard task to get line aboard
the Clallam. The steamer was sinking rap
idly and had been in sinking condition
since midnight.
The tugs Holyoke and Sea Lion reached
here this morning with 80 passengers, sur
vivors of the wrecked steamer. They were
put on board the steamers Garland and
Dirigo and are now on their way to Sc
attic. They will probably reach there
about o'clock.
When the Clallam foundered the Sea
Lion was near the Holyoke and rescued
large number. The Sea Lion had "a pass
engers on board when she reached here
and the Holyoke eight.
Nearly every woman and child on the
steamer was lost.
There were So listed passengers on the
steamer and she carried a crew of 81 men.
1t is believed, however, that there were
few more on board the boat, as there -
generally more passengers on board than
those who have registered.
The total number of people on the boat
is estimated at about 95. IF
According to the story told here, the
accident to the Clallam resulted from the
breaking of the headlights in her portfolios
The heavy seas struck the lights with ter
rife force and the glass was broken.
The water rushed in through, the open
portfolios and it was but short time
before the fires under the boilers were

SECOND DISPATCH.

SECOND DISPATCH.
PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. s.-The
steamer Clallam foundered shortly after
midnight this morning a short distance
from Smiths island, about l5 miles from
this city.
The vessel reached within eight miles of
Victoria, when the heavy seas broke in her
headlights and the water rushed in. This
put out the fires under the boilers. Three
boats were launched and filed principally
with women and children.
Two of these boats were seen to founder,
all aboard being drowned.
The third is thought to have shared the
same fate.
The steamer: drifted helplessly until 10
o'clock p. m, when the tug Holyoke, sent
from here, came to her assistance and took
the Clallam in tow.
The passengers and crew had in the
meantime hove the cargo overheard and
kept three lines of men bailing the steam
er with buckets, thus keeping about even
with the incoming rush of water.
After the Clallam was taken in tow the
water came in faster than before, ana
about / o'clock she went on her beam
ends and filed.
The tug Sea Lion arrived meanwhile and
the two tugs set about saving life.
Thirty-one survivors were picked up
from the steamer and from planks and
RATS and brought here this morning at
9 o'clock.
Captain Roberts and the officers of the
Clallam, who stayed with the steamer to
the last, were all saved.
Captain Roberts says he thinks he had
SO passengers and the crew, numbering 80.
The Clallam left Seattle at $3.50 o'clock
yesterday morning. When within a few
miles of Victoria, off Clover point, at 3:45
o'clock in the afternoon, she was sighted.
At first it appeared that she was at an
chor, but soon it was evident that she
had broken down and was drifting. A fa-
vorable wind carried her past Trial and
Discovery rocks and when she passed the
southeast point of Vancouver island she
was on clear course. She had her main
sail and jib set at the time.
Agent Blackwood of the steamer, at Vic
oria, could find no available tug at Vic
toria. At nightfall he secured the tug Iro-
quOis, which he dispatched from Sidney.
The tugs Holyoke and Sea Lion were sent
out after the Clallam from Port Town

vessel had not been sighted. The tugs

built at Tacoma last year, going into com

n You Have Dyspepsia, Read This

The old way of taking pepsin, bis,
muth. etc, to cure dyspepsia is all
wrong. They may be put up in tab
lets or liquid, the result is just the
same. The object is to create arti'
fetal digestion, but this does not
make a cure. Stop taking the pepsin'
etc. and you have your dyspepsia or
Indigestion back again. People use
.cocoaine or opium for nervous trou'
.bles and sick headache, it does not
cure. stop taking the drugs and the
main and distress return. The only
Common Sense Remedy is TO drive
out of the system the cause of dyspep-
sia and sick headache by cleansing the
stomach and bowels, at the same time
using medicine that will act on the
liver. This forces through the glands
of the stomach the digestive fluid that
nature intended In this way you
