BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 22.-The Column
bia was a steel vessel of 1746 tons and was
300 feet in length, SS5 feet beam and 144
feet in depth.

The vessel was built at Chester Pa, in
1880 and was owned by the San Francisco

During the earthquake and fire the
Columbia was lying at the drydock of
the Union Iron works and the shock
loosened some of her blocks with the re-
suit that the vessel capsized.
The San Pedro was commanded by
Capt. Hansen and is a wooden vessel of
91S tons. She is 166 feet long, 81 feet beam
and II feet deep. She was built in San
Francisco in 1902 for the ]. r. Hansey &

THIRTY-THREE SURVIVORS;
NAMES NOT YET KNOWN

In connection with the foregoing list
it should be borne in mind that it will
be measurably reduced by the thirty
three names of the survivors spoken of
as coming ashore in life RATS at Shelter
Cove today.
Among the lost is Mrs. r. o. Lours of
Pasadena. She died of exposure. Mr..
Lours' life was saved. Their boy of
and their 13-year-old daughter were
drowned. Lours succeeded in getting his
wife and children on to the upper deck
in the brief interval between the colli-
sion and the sinking of the Columbia.
But a breaker washed them off the
cabin roof into the sea. The husband
and father succeeded in dragging them
up on life raft and for two hours the
forlorn and wretched family tossed about
on their frail craft in the blackness of
the night.
Eventually the children lost their grip
and slipped off into the sea. Mrs. Lours
succumbed soon afterward from shock
and exposure.
Only Eight Minutes for Rescue
Eight minutes from the time the San
Pedro struck the Columbia the latter
vessel had filled full of water and sunk.
the passengers to go to the upper deck.
Without clothing they climbed out of
their berths and rushed out.
1t was only two or three minutes be-
fore the decks were awash. Six boats
and three life RATS were cut loose and
as many passengers as possible were
crowded into them.
There was scarcely any evidence of a
panic, the women acting with heroism.

lowered a boat and picked up a large
number of survivors, while the boats of
the Columbia lay to by the San Pedro.
When the Columbia sank she carried
down with her about seventy-four pas
sengers This estimate is not accurate,
and the number cannot be definitely de-
termined until full particulars are re-
ceived from Shelter Cove, where four
boats are said to have been landed
Captain Doran and First Officer WHIT
ney were on the deck when the Column
bia sank. The captains last words were
"God bless you"
According to Purser J. e. Byrnes OF
the Columbia there were one hundred
and ninety passengers aboard-one hum
dred and sixty-eight first class, twenty
two steerage and sixty of the crew. IL
is known that one hundred and seven
messengers have been saved and thirty
seven of the crew.
Refugees at Shelter Cove
The exact number at Shelter Cove Is
vet to be determined. Just as the CO.
lumbia was sinking her boilers exploded
This counteracted the suction and saved
nany 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 r. sparks, president
of A bank at Fort Smith, Ark. He and
bis daughter were on their way home.
Sparks. when pulled up on a life raft,
was weak from swallowing salt water
and shortly after. when transferred to
one of the boats, he died from cold ana
exposure. His daughter was saved.
Two hours after the wreck the 1og
lifted and a cold wind commenced to
blow. The people in the boats suffered
much.

PASADENA INQUIRIES
ABOUT OTTO S. LEWIS

Friends of the family of Otto S. Lewis
are greatly in fear that the IF. o. Leurs
of Pasadena" mentioned in the dlspatches
al having lost his wife and two children
in tbe Columbia wreck is none other than
the Pasadena capitalist In fact there Is
little hone held that "Leurs" is not d
-typographical error, and every Woru from
the north is eagerly awaited.
Mr. Lewis, who is one of Pasadena's s
well known men of wealth, and his wife
and two children-Florence, aged Il, and
Raw. aged 9-left here some time ago for
a visit in Oregon and Washington. The
last word received from them stated that
thew were to sail on the Columbia. There
Is slight doubt that their plans were car
ried out The fact that the ages OF the
Lewis children correspond with the ages
given In the dispatch, and that they were
how and girl, all but clinches the SAD
truth.
According to the dispatch Mr.. "Leurs'
got his wife and children on the upper
deck after the crash, but breaker
washed off the cabin and knocked them
into the sea. Even then he got the family
aboard a piece of wreckage and floated
for two hours before picked up by a life
boat. During the night the wife died of
exposure, and the husband, who alone
was saved, could not say when the chill
dren were lost.
o. S. Lewis and family own beautiful
home at 80 North FL Molino avenue, Pasa-
dena He is retired lumberman, and
besides large interests in his home city
owns considerable real estate in Los An
geles and a walnut grove in Santa Ana,
where Mrs Lewis father and sister re-
side.
G. G. Allen, 1874 Sunset boulevard, and
other friends of the family had knowledge
of the intention of the Lewises to sail
with the Columbia and are anxiously
awaiting the revised list of victims Of
the wreck.
