STEAMER ASHORE
, IN MORNING FOG
HUMBOLDT BEACHED BUT MAY
BE SAVED
Well Known Coast Vessel Recently
Carried Survivors of Inflated
Star of Beneal-Crew
and Others Safe
rBy Associated Press1

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept 29.-The
steamer Humboldt is ashore at Active
pass. Her passengers have been taken
off by the fishing steamer Edith and
are on their way to Seattle.
The Humboldt struck during
heavy fog at 4:40 a. IN. at Marratt,
Pender island. She is hard and fast
on the rocks.
The tug Lorne and the steamer Sal
vor Of the British Columbia Salvage
company have left to render assist
ance.
Wireless messages from the Hum
boldt state that in answer to wireless
distress signals sent broadcast soon
after the wreck occurred the steamer
Edith, also equipped with wireless,
arrived, and when informed of the pre-
dicament of the Humboldt steamed to
the scene. The passengers were taken
off and will be landed at Port Town
send.
Later messages state the Humboldt
is resting easily and Is expected to be
fioated at high water with the assist
ance of the tug Lorne and the steamer
Salvor, which is about due at the
scene.
Cargo Being Saved
The cargo is being discharged over
the bow as fast as possible. Only the
IOFWdTu 10 holAee5CNg NAAAe
being full of water. The engine room
compartment is free. The steamer lies
held by the bow with slight list to
starboaFd.
The steamer Iroquois, on hearing the
wireless signals from the Humboldt,
came alongside this morning on her
way from Vancouver to Seattle, but
was unable to render any assistance,
the passengers being already taken off
by the Edith.
The heavy pumps of the steamer
Salvor are to be put on board as soon
as the salvage vessel Is alongside, and
with the cargo being lightered 1t Is
thought the steamer will be easily
foated and temporary repairs made
sufficient to allow of her return to
Seattle.
Is an old Vessel
SEATTLE, Sept. 29.-The steamer
Humboldt arrived here Saturday night
with eighteen survivors of the Inflated
Star of Bengal and left at 9:20 last
night for Skagway. She is commanded
by Captain Boughman.
Max Kalish, managing director OF the
vessel expresses the belief the ship
will be a total loss.
The Humboldt is an old wooden
ship of 68S tons, and has been operated
for years without serious mishap. She
is owned by the Humboldt Steamship
company, under charter to the Pacific
Coast company.
