scene OF the wreck have now been car
ed for, the last party of nine who had
been installed at the Darling river on
account OF the flooded waters reaching
the steamer Salyor at Bamfield Creek
tonight. They were in bad condition.
Great credit is due 10 the party from
the Salvor, headed by Captain Farris,
who left early Wednesday and travel
ed an almost impossible trail for fif-
teen miles after a night spent on the
trail they started home with the sur
viyors. Before returning Captain Fer
rs visited the wreck. He reports the
beach literally covered with wreckage
and at that time FIVE bodies were on
shore being identified. A second party
left the Salyor yesterday morning.
They went as far as Pachena. carrying
packs Of provisions and extra clothing.

ing party sent from the United States
reyenus cutter Grant. The provisions
were made to suceor the survivors. The
party was sighted at $40 p. m. on a
point Of rock having taken to the beach
as the trail was too hard for the men
TO negotiate in their famished condi-
ton. The Associated Pres correspond

found +. =. Bunker, assistant super
iutendent of schools Of Seattle, and +.
Marshall on the beach in a bad condi-

way, suffering from a sprained ankle
and experiencing severe pain. The re-
mainder of the party had taken to the
trail. Bunker had lost his coat and
shirt and was wearing blanket with
arm holes cut in it.

telegraph hut at Pachena and given
food. Soon afterwards while these two
we're being cared for the rescue party
arrived with the other survivors. All
were completely fatigued. The entire
party was equipped with shoes, those
