 A lESSENING DEATH ROLL.
 In connection with the foregoing list rof the missing it should be borne in mind that it will be measurably re- duced by thirtyt three names, the sur vivors spoken of as coming ashore in life rafts at Shelter Cove today. Among the lost is Mrs. F. O. Lewis of Pasadena. She died of exposure. Mir. Lewis life. was saved. Their boy of and their 13-year-old daughter were drowned. Lewis succeeded in getting his wife and children on to the upper deck in the pref interval between the collision and the sink ing of the Columbia. But breakers washed them off the cabin roof into the sea. The husband and father suc- ceeded in dragging them upon a life raft and for two hours the forlorn and wretched family were tossed about on the frail craft in the blackness of the night. Eventually the children lost their grip and slipped off into the sea. Mrs Lewis succumbed soon af- forwards from the shock and expos ure.
 Eight minutes from the time the San Pedro struck the Columbia. the latter vessel was filled full of water and sunk. The night saloon watch man notified all the passengers to ga 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 swash. Six boats and three life rafts were cut loose and as many passengers as pos sible were crowded into them. There was scarcely any evidences of panic. women acting with heroism. The crew of the San Pedro immediately lowered a boat and picked up a large number of the survivors whi,e the boats from the Columbia lay-to by the San Pedro.
 THE CAPTAINS FAREWELL. When the Columbia sank she car ried down with her about "A passen- gers. This estimate is inaccurate and the number cannot be definitely de- termined until full particulars are re- ceived from shelter Cove. Captain Do- ran and First officer Whitney were on deck when the Columbia sank. The captains last words were God bless vou." According to Purser J. F.. Rrynes of the Columbia. there were i 19O passengers aboard. 16S first class. | 22 steerage and sixty of the crew. It is known that 107 passengers have been saved and thirty-seven of the crew. The exact number at Shelter Cove has not yet been determined.
 Just as the Columbia was sinking, her boilers exploded. This counteract- i ed the suction and saved many lives. Husbands and wives were separated, and fathers, mothers and children be- came lost to each other in the excite ment when the boats collided. The only dead person. caught by the Elder was George T. Sparks. president of a
