broken. but portion of a mast stands
above the water. and the feet OF steamers
and tugs have today been turning their at
tention TO patrolling the vicinity In the hope
OF finding boats, rats or wreckage still
anoat with survivors, though chances are
small
Ashore several parties have been toiling
over most arduous trails, some carrying
succor to those who were washed to the
beach. others securing the rugged rocks of
tho shore line seeking for any survivors
that may have reached shore and be lying
foodless and helpless and others arc en-
gagged In the melancholy duty of recovering
bodies.
OF tho total company of 15 but thirty
three have been definitely accounted for,
and three men believed to be other sur
vivors were seen on shore by the whaling
vessel Orion, near the wreck huddled about
a fire. Six SURVIVORS have been taken on
the Sailor: nine. most OF them 80 badly cut

Limit of Human Endurance.
Scant hope Is entertained by those on
board the patrolling steamers that any
others will be recovered. for the doctors on
resruing tugs say. the limit of human en-
durance, Will sbaSe been passed before this
time, The feet of steamers engaged In
ratfolling were seen this morning In the
vicinity of Darling river. The steamer Sal
vor. which left Barnfield Greek this morn
ing. after sending part of its crew over
the trails to seek survivors. and the whal-
ing steamer Orion Ia vessel better equipped
than any In this neighborhood to throw
lines 10 a wreck, being equipped with har-
poon gum, the steamer Queen, which
CISCO the tug Lorne. sent from Victoria
last night with party of bluejackets and
a lifeboat on board, were all there, and as
far as could be learned from correspond
,ents at various points none had succeeded
In finding other survivors.
The steamer Salvor made an effort 90
get one OF Its boats through the surf near
Darling creek this morning to land supplies
for the men at Darling telegraph hut. but
the surf ran too high though, and II seemed
Impossible TO get boat through II. The
boat was forced to return. The Salvor
soon afterward located two men and q
boy. AT 10:45 q. m, fire evidently built
as a signal was seen on the beach between
Beegardess Point and Klanewak. where
the wreck lies. After transferring the sur.
vivors taken from Bamfield to the steamer
City OF Topeka, the Salvor went to notify
the tug Lorna OF the finding OF the party
on shore and asked il the British blue
Jackets on board the Lorne with a lif,
boat would attempt a landing. Captain
Butler replied they would try. but the un
.aertaking was most dangerous and un
safe. The British bluejackets, however
volunteered TO make the attempt, and mad
a daring effort. They were unsuccessful
however. and the sailors were Obliged I,
return after getting within three boa
lengths of the shore Some doubt was hell
on the tug IL the party on shore wer
survivors of the wreck. for after the boa
started ashore several other men We're seei
nEd they seemed to make no attempt Il
yet on.
