RESCUED FROM A LIFE RAFT.
Twenty of the Valencia's PeOp1e
Picked Up BY the City of Topeka.

Twenty of the Valencia's People
Picked Up BY the City of Topeka.
Seattle, Wash, Jan. 26.-Twenty men,
unconscious and half dead from ex-
posure, were rescued from a life raft at
one o'clock Wednesday. afternoon by the
steamer City of Topeka six miles on
Cape Beale. They are supposed to be
the last survivors of the wreck of the
Valencia off Vancouver island, and he
list of dead is now believed to number
119 men, women and children.
The condition of the 20 men on the
raft was pitiable. They had set out
from the sinking Valencia Wednesday
morning, leaving about ninety persons
still clinging in the rigging, but be-
ing swept, one by one, into the sea by
the mountainous waves. When the res
cue steamer arrived there was no one
visible on the wreck.
The Raft Sighted.
The men were half-frozen and n
conscious from exposure. The raft was
sighted about IL o'clock, but owing to
the thick weather it was supposed to
be nothing but a log. At last, by the
aid of a powerful glass, its true nature
was determined. A terrible sea was
running. One minute the raft was
poised on top of a wave and the next
it would be lost from view in the gully
formed by the mountainous breakers.
When the raft was within a half mile
of the Topeka, a boat was lowered In
charge of Second Mate Burke, which,
with much difficulty, succeeded in max
ing fast a line to the raft. The specta-
tors on the Topeka watched the strug-
Cling of the gallant seamen b~reathless-
ly. One minute they were high in the
air and the next lost to sight. At last
they succeeded in bringing the raft to
the side of the steamer.
A Pftfable Sight.
The sight of the poor creatures On
the raft brought tears to the eyes OF
the sailors on the vessel. In the stern
white hair and pallid features were
creased and torn by the flying spray,
but the instinct of life was strong in
him. and he held to his place. Three
others were lying in a senseless heap
in the rear, washed by every swell, and
retained solely by the bodies of the
other men, who were closely packed.
The work of rescuing them was dan
erous The men were too exhausted
to even tie a rope about themselves.
The City of Topeka searched the sea
for another raft which had set out from
the Valencia earlier in the day, car
rying eight women, but no trace of it
could be found. 1t is supposed to have
foundered,
The Survivors say that the doomed
passengers and members of the crew
met their fate like men. The captain
was a hero throughout the hours of
suffering, making no effort to escape
from the ship, but aiding others where
eve he could.

 Chas. Ashbaugh, the man who ident- flied Hill, has written to HilPs broth. CTS at Denver, but has had no reply. When the body will be buried is not known. but it IS the belief it will be held until after the hearing of Han son, charged with his murder. How ever. Coroner Hogan has advised un dertaker Ames that the body may be buried at his pleasure.
 Hanson was arrested as the mur- derer of Hill at the instance of Con- stable Humm, and the warrant was .s- sued from Justice Hogan's court be- fore the inquest was held. Officer Humm said he brought this charge against Hansen becsase of the incor- sistent testimony which be gave to the coroner and jury the morning tle body was found, and what he told be fore the coroner's inquest the next day; and, furthermore, because sew eral parties had told him they would go on the witness stand and prove cir cumstances which would evidently prove Hansen's guilty.
