l,Imbia was living at the drydock of
the Union Iron Works and the shock
loosened some of her blocks with the
result that the vessel was capsiZed.
But she was entirely refitted and when
she lett here Saturday she carried a
full list of passengers about ooo In
number.
The San Pedro was commanded by
Cant. Hansen and is a wooden vessel
of 31S tons. She is 166 feet long, 81
feet beam and II feet deep. She was
built in San Francisco in 1902 for the
]. r. Haney & Sons Co, and was re-
Gently sold to the Eastern and Western
Lumber Co.
The steamer Roanoke spoke the
steamer George w. Elder. The latter
had on board IS passengers and the
crew Of the Columbia, which were TAX
en- off the San Pedro. The latter vessel
had her stem gone and was damaged
considerably forward. Her malnmast
was gone and foremost sprung, her
cargo was gone and she was in wa
terlogged condition. The Elder was
irving to tow her to Eureka. but was
making slow progress. The Roanoke
picked up a body supposed to be that
of Edward Butler and brought 1t here.
The Merchants Exchange of this city
has been beseiged by anxious relatives
and friends of the Columba's passen-
gers since early morning. Few women
have called but scores of men. some OF
them weeping are passing in and out
or standing about the corridor waiting
for news.
One of the most distressing features
of the accident is that up to IL O'Clock
there is complete ignorance of the
names of the drowned and the names
of the survivors.
Miss Florence Thompson of Johnston,
Ohio, and Miss Eva BroOkcr of Frank
lin, Ky, are among those lost.

States Revenue Cutter Woodbury.,
Capt. J. H. Brown, sailed at Has
o'clock this morning in search of the
two Bowdoin students who started on
cruise in a sail boat over a week ago
and have not been heard from since.
Captain Brown said this morning
that he should proceed first to Booth
bay where he should investigate the
report that capsiZed boat had been
seen off there. If this clue did not ma
tcrialiZe he should sail about outside
looking for any traces of the missing
men and should continue the search
for three or four days at least. he
however, rather believed that the boys
| had been lost otherwise they would
| have been heard from long ago. There
| was one chance that they were saved
and that was that they had been picked
| up by an outward bound vessel which
would land them at some distant port
This chance, however, he considered
very slim one.

Praised Edgar Allan Poe.

When H. G. Wells, the English nov
elist, was in Boston he praised Poe
at dinner. q think hardly of your
New England WRITER'S" he said, "for
their contempt of Poe. 1 shall never
be able to forget that Emerson called
him that jingle man. To-day thou
sand read Poe where one reads EN-.
erson, and not to know Poe's work is
rather a disgrace. There is a little
inn at home. 1t is rather a poorly
conducted little inn. The landlady
gets every visitor to write something
about it in kind of autograph album
that she keeps on her drawing room
table. One visitor wrote in the al
bum many years ago: 'Quoth the
raven The landlady did not un-
derstand that quotation. She was not
well up in Poe. And ever since that
time she has shown the cryptic line
to every guest entreating him to tell
her, if he can, it's meaning. But the

Black taffeta hats bound with black
silk braid are possessed of much
charm. In this connection the braid is
always wide and rather coarse in tex
ture; it forms an important binding
for the cloche brim and is the best
of taste with tailor-made costumes.
For afternoon wear we shall have
many of the best hats edged, or bound.
with fur, and already l have seen seal
skin used in this way-with excellent
results.
AS final word on heads and hats
let me just say that the great object
of the fashionable woman of the hour
is to have her hair and hat in COM
plete accord. 1t must either be that
the hair is dressed out to meet the hat
or that the hat is crushed in to meet
the hair; whichever be the method
chosen the result must be perfect har-
mony of outline. Hats are smaller than
they were last season, and-heads de-
cidedly larger!
