Lights Want Out.

The dynamos kept working until
half of the passengers had been trans
ferred and then electric lights died
away and darkness added to the hor-
FOR of the situation. Blue flares were
lighted and by their aid the pallid
faces of the passengers huddled on the
rocks could be seen from the ship.
The nearest settlement was at
Swanson bay. 20 miles away and it
was decided to send for help in that
direction. ScCord Officer Stewart got
crew together and manned one Of
the boats and set off at top speed.
They covered the distance under ad-
verse conditions in three hours. At
Swanson bay they found the New
England Fishing Company's steamer
kingfisher. Captain Holstrom Anchor
was hoisted at once and under full
steam the fishing vessel set off for
Carter bay. which was reached at
o'clock yesterday morning. In A. min
utcs every ore of the passengers and
crew with the exception Of Captain
Johnston. the mate. chief engineer and
hoatswain, these electing to stand by

Time Was Short.

Captain Johnson knew that the least
delay might have terrible results, so
he instantly decided to beach his sink
ing vessel. Full speed astern was or
dered and the crippled vessel backed
off the rock. The helm was put hard
aport and she nosed into a little bay
called Carter bay. Here she took the
beach about two ship lengths from
shore and the work of transferring the
passengers to safety began.
Rain was falling in torrents and the
officers had trouble with n crowd Of
Greeks Tho Were travelling steerage.
The men tried to rush the boats and
only the sight OF a revolver backed by
u resolute seaman kept them off. The
boats Were launched with difficulty.
Boatload after boatload was sent
away tn the beach, the women and
children going first. while some of the
men took life belts and swan to shore.
Meanwhile Operator Eccles had been
sending calls for assistance into the
night. Ketchikan got them. but it was
through staying at his post as long as
possible that Eccles lost his life. The
last boat to leave the ship was over
crowded and 20 men had to swim.
ECcles and two freight clerks jumped

up by life boat. Eccles was struck
on the head by wreckage and drowned.
but his body was recovered and taken
