HARD TO NAVIGATE,
Victoria, b. c., Jan. 20. 10 p. ma
special from Cape Beale states tina
when the steamer Valencia left SaI
Francisco at II a. m. Saturday th'
weather was clear, but since has beer
thick, and Capt Johnson had con-
sequently to navigate by reckoning
The officers OF the steamer thought
they were near Umatilla reef light
ship when the vessel drove In on the
Vancouver Island coast. Soundings
had been taken, 30 fathoms hav.
Ing been secured few minutes before
the vessel struck When she hit the
rocks her engines were reversed and
the steamer succeeded In backing on
into deep water, She Immediately be-
gan to MI so quickly that the en-
gneers and firemen were driven from
the engine room and the only chance to
save the lives OF anyone on board was
TO drive the vessel ashore.
When the six survivors who have
arrived at Cape Beale left the Valencia
she was laying head-on to the sea, and
was out 80 yards from the high bluff
on shore, with the water over her
main deck. What we're left of the pas
sengers, large number having been
previously drowned, were huddled on
the saloon deck. When the boats were
lowered soon after the vessel was driv-
there was great loss OF life.
The boats filed with women and
children were smashed agasS't the
side OF the steamer, and all In them
were lost. The lights had gone ont by
this time and the crew could not see
10 work. Several boats and three life
RATS were lowered. only two OF them
have been heard from. There were
thought to be about 100 persons stu
on the wreck and the survivors. who
reached Cape Beale, say at least 80
were drowned alongside the steamer
before they left. The boatswain and
I'VE seamen were sent 10 secure as
slstance, and are the ons ones that
reached Cape ,Beale, arriving there
about 3 o'clock.
