dispatch TO the PoStIntelllgencor
from Seward, Alaska, says that the
mail steamer Dora has arrived there
with the 1874 survivors of the wrecked
ship Columbia, near UnimaS Pass.
The survivors tell a tale of suffering
and heroism seldom eXcelled
Following the grounding In blind
ing snowstorm, eight miles east OF
UnImak Pass, on the night of April 30,
the experiences of the passengers and
crew of the Columbia. were narrowing
in the extreme.
There was no wind at the time. but
a terrific surf was raging from storm
on the previous night. On the vessel
were SO Italians, 96 Japanese and 40
Americans and Scandanavlans. All,
including the Japanese, were passive
and obedient i'll the face of the dan
ger save the Italians. who. in panic,
rayed and prayed. A boat was lower"
ed, and the Italians, including their
bosses, poured In. The Italians at
tempted to seize two more boats. but
were restrained at the point OF guns.
At daylight, the feasibility of surf
landing was established, and boats
were given to the Italians. who, per
mitted to depart, rowed eight miles
to Scotch Cape light house Returning
two days later for provisions, they
where again compelled with reyolvers
to take only food and refrain from
looting.
Two former life-saving men. Christ
Christopherson and Ernest Ander
son, insisted they be allowed to pro-
ceed for shore alone in a diminutive
skiff. They succeeded in securing
life line to the shore.

fish boats, following the life line, oc-
cupied twonty four hours. DR.. Throsh-

,uously reWving the men capsiZed in

several. Many were nearly drowned.

these that the Japanese showed fine
spirit All the boats We're smashed

Only one woman, the Australian
wife of Mate Cameron. was with the
party.

SMITH COLLEGE GIRLS
INVEST IN 15-CENT HATS

Northampton. Mass. May 24.-They
cost only fifteen cents. This is the
reason Smith college girls have been
wearing of late an endless variety OF
gorgeous headgear.
The hats come from a factory In
Amherst They come untrmmed. but
this is a matter of small Importance
for Smith girls are artists in trimming
hat.
Several weeks ago 1t was noticed
that fad for varigated millinery had
the students in its grip. Girls sud
denly appeared in gorgeous new Gre
ations, some of them having ten or 4
dozen new hats. There was nothing
like them In the Northampton stores.
Then 1t was learned that the cars
running between Amherst and North
ampton have been daily crowded with
students EN- route to buy the fifteen
cent hats. 1t is the fad at present to
have a hat for every hour Of the day.
