Captain Hansen, "in which HaWse wa
quoted as saying that had he been al
lowed to place his passengers on tn
San Pedro he could have saved many
noza. Why didn't he take them whe1
ha mod a chance? He could have carried
txenty or more in his boat. Anothei
of the Columbia's boats only had foul
in it, -,
The crew of the San Pedro are still
in Eureka but are expected TO reaci
this port in a day or two, ana captain
Birmingham adjourned the investigator
until Thursday afternoon in the hop'
that they will have arrived meantime
Third OFFICER Hawse of the wrecked
steamer Columbia is lying in so pre-
carious a state of mind at the Marine
hospital that the house physicians say
. that If he does not improve within
dav or two they will call in a federation
insanity commission.
Hawse Nearly Crazy
Last night Hawse was in highly
nervous condition, needing constant at
tention and showing dangerous signs oi
losing his mind. There has been nc
amelioration in his state at any time
since he entered the hospital and this
morning he was much worse than al
any previous time.
DR.. Leithead, who examined HaWse
this morning, states that his nervous
ness has in no way been brought on by
the use of drugs. He lays Hawse
mental state entirely to the strain
brought on by the wreck.

It is the consensus of opinion among
wreckers and seafaring men chat none
Of the bodies of the drowned passengers
and crew ever viii be recovered.
Should any be washed up on the Mendo
cino coast the inaccesibility of that Un.
freuuented stretch would make their re-
covery impossible. II is thought thai
inasmuch as the Columbia turned com.
pletely over as she went down many Of
the unhappy victims are held fast in hel
wreckage and hold.
