SEATTLE Wash, Jan. eG.-More than
100 people arc now searching the coast of
Vancouver island within a radius of twenty
miles on either side of the wreck OF the
Valencia with the hope of finding some
survivors from the vessel. In order to
assist in the search the Pacific Coast
Steamship company tonight dispatched a
tug in command of Port Captain Patterson
to the scene of the disaster. The plan is
to get as near to the wreck possible and
send the dores ashore. Captain Patterson
expects TO find the weather sufficiently
calmed by the time he reaches there to
enable him to make landing.
Parties of men and tugs have been sent
out from Victoria and are now OH the
scene. The Indians have been employed
to beat the bush in case any survivors
have wandered inland.
Up to the present time thirty-seven men
have been saved from the wreck. This
leaves III persons stlll unaccounted for.
Some hope Is still held out for the last
boat to leave the ship 1t has not been re-
ported. and it is possible that It has made
the shore somewhere in the vicinity OF
the wreck.
TO Seattle on the Topeka were sent to the
hotels by the steamship companies and will
be kept there until they have arranged
plans for the future
So far rescuers have been unable to save
any bodies. The tug sent out by the Paci-
fic Coast Steamship company will make
efforts to secure any which may be on the
beach.

| raft were three bodies which have beer
