death when that vessel went to the bot
tom near Shelter Cove between midnight
and 1 o'clock of Sunday morning. One
hundred and seven of the CoIumbia's
passengers and thirty-seven of her crew
have been brought to this port by the
steamer George w. Elder, which lowed

scene of the district to Eureka A late
message from Shelter Cove says that
three more life boats have been picked
up, one of them containing eighteen per-
sons, another fifteen and the third not re-
ported.

port are being cared for at hotels and in
private homes. The citizens of Eureka,
moved to unanimous action by pity and
the distress of the victims, have sup
piled sufficient quantities of clothing and
all necessary medical attention without
stint or price. committee of citizens
under the leadership of Mayor Kicks has
charged itself with the duties of the hour
and is performing them with energy and
all possible success.
