splendid HEROISM
ON THE COLUMBIA
CAPTAIN sEAMEN AND PASSENGERS SHOWED MAGNIFICENT
COURAGE IN DIsAsTER-THE STEAMER SANK ELEVEN
MINUTES WITH HER CAPTAIN STILL GIVING oRDERs-FIRE
MEN OBEYED ORDERS TO GO BELOW DEATH

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-ln the
aftermath of the Columbia disaster it
is becoming clear that the officers and
crew of the Inflated steamship behav-
ed in a most heroic manner From
the lips of the survivors who arrived
in the city last night, after making
the journey overland from Shelter
Cove, come stories that make the
blood tingle with pride in the Ameri-
man merchant marine, and the male
passengers also, as far as can be as
certained from the many narrowing
tales of ship-wrecked people, behaved
for the most part as men should when
death looks them in the face.
AS to the women, they seem to have
exhibited surprising fortitude and
courage. They are unanimous in
their praises of the officers and crew
of the Columbia, but the most heroic
figure in the eyes of the arrivals from
Shelter Cove is Quartermaster Paul
Hinner, who rescued two boatloads of
people, with the assistance of only
four Of the crew.
When the sailors and engine-room
men came ashore here, the little
groups about them listened to one
common theme running through all
the varying experiences of each of the
thirty-two mariners, and that was the
brave deaths their companions had
met. Down in the hold of the sinking
Columbia seamen and officers stayed
at their posts, trying to work the
pumps and opening the valves, that
final explosion of steam might not
rend the unfortunates clinging to the
decks above limb from limb; and after
the ship had made her final plunge.
frail women bailed the boats and re-
fused the blankets offered for their
shivering limbs, that their dying sis
tiers might be sheltered.
From chief officer to engine-room
oilers comes the grateful testimony of
how the women of the Columbia calm
ed the confusion and terror by their
example.
One tragic aftermath of the wreck
that sent so many of the passengers
and crew of the Columbia to their
deaths occurred yesterday afternoon
at the home of Chief Engineer John +.
Jackson, when, during a recital of the
agony of the Saturday night ocean
tragedy the veteran broke down and
cried like a child. In voice that
could not conceal his emotion, Jack
son told how he gave the order that
sent more than half his men to their
deaths in the vessels hold. He told
how they responded to a man to his
order to go below to their stations, al
though they knew that death might
be in wait. His account of the actions
of the obscure men of the engine-room
and stokehole throws a vivid light up
