 cove containing IS people, three sea men and thirteen passengers, of whom two were dead.
 F. o. Leurs of Pasadena, was fin the boat with his wife who died from ex- posture. He lost a boy of g years and his girl, 12 years.
 Leurs got his wife and children on the upper deck. A breaker washed off the cabin and knocked them into the Ia cnt fo ,,oilx a piece of wreckage and floated for two hours. He does not know when his children were lost. The dead man in the boat is unknown. He was dressed only in an undershirt.
 late message from Shelter Cove says three more life boats have been found, one containing IS people and one containing l 5. The number in the third Is not reported. Sixteen of the names given here are not found on the steamship company's list. Adding to the 1S9 accredited passengers, the 59 of the present members of the Colum- bias crew, gives total of PAS lives jeopardized in the midnight collision.
 Among the survivors rescued and carried north to this port by the George w. Elder are men and women from score of states, not a few from the Atlantic seaboard and the middle west.
 Among these are a number of school teachers who were on their homeward trip from the convention of the Ma tional Educational association at Los Angeles.
 Eight minutes after the San Pedro struck the Columbia, the latter vessel had filled full of water and sunk. The night saloon watehman notified all the passen- gers to go to the upper deck. Without clothing, they climbed out of their berths and rushed out. It was only two or three minutes before the decks were awash. Six boats and three life rafts were cut loose and as many passengers as possible were crowded into them. There were scarcely any evidences of a panic, the women acting with heroism. The crew of the San Pedro immediately lowered Il boat and picked up large number of survivors, while the boats from the Co., lumbia jay by the San Pedro.
 When the Columbia sank she carried down with her about "A passeigers. This estimate Is not accurate and the number cannot be definitely determined until full particulars are received from Shelter Cove, where four boats are said to have been landed.
 More Boats Found.
 Captain Doran and First Officer Whit ney were on the deck when the Columbia sank, the captains last words being;
 God bless you"
 According to Purser J. E. Byrnes of the Columbia there were 190 passengers aboard, 16S first-class, p steerage and 60 crew.
 It is known that 107 passengers have been saved and S7 of the crew
 The exact number at Shelter Cove Is yet to be determined Just as the Co., lumbia was sinking her boilers exployed. This enumerated the suction and saved many lives. Husbands and wives were separated and fathers and mothers and children became lost to each other in the excitement when the boats collided. The only dead person caught by the Elder Was George T. Sparks, president of the bank of Fort Smith, Ark. He and his daughter were on their way home. Sparks, when pulled upon a life raft was weak from swallowing salt water and after being transferred to one of the boats he died from cold and exposure.
 His daughter was saved.
