STEAMER ST. CR0IX
BURNED UP WHILE OFF COAST
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Crew of 3e and 80 Passengers All Saved
by Their Prompt and Heroic Action
Reach Shore, Near Point Duma,
Three Miles Distant, in Iifeboats and
Rafts-Origin of Fire Unknown.

Los Angeles, Nov. 21.-The passen-
ger steamer st. Croix of the North
Pacific Steamship company burned to
the waters edge Saturday night at a
point three miles off Point Duma and
Is miles north of Santa Monica and
the lives of the 50 passengers aboard
and those of the crew of 80 were saved
by the heroic action of the officers
and crew and the fact that the sea
was calm at the time of the disaster.
All of those on board escaped on life
boats and RATS and were safely landed
at Point Duma on little beach.
The fire started in the second cabin
while dinner was being served and
had made such Roadway before il was
discovered that the greatest difficulty
was experienced in launching the
boats and life RATS and placing the
passengers safely aboard them.
Passengers Lose All.
A panic among the passengers was
ayerted by the prompt action of the
officers and crew, who gave the pas
sengers no chance to save their per
sonal belongings.
The st. Croix left San Pedro at 10
o'clock Saturday morning bound for
San Francisco direct. She was proceed
ing in good time at the moment the
FIRE was discovered.
Its origin is unknown. A member
Of the crew discovered the flames issu-
ing from the windows and gave the
alarm. Much excitement ensued and a
panic was imminent, when the officers
commanded the passengers 10 20 for
ward and remain on the main deck.
Meanwhile lifeboats and life RATS were
lowered and the passengers placed 10

First Officer Mills states that as the
last boat containing members Of the
crew left the St. Croix the flames
burst forth from all sides and the iron
hull Of the steamer became roaring

The passengers the majority Of
whom were women, remained in the
desolate canyon until Sunday, when re-

Robert was so overwhelmed and over

"Why, we all said goodby to each

At first the English among us sang
songs and the Italians were all the
time praying, but after a while we
were all too weak to move about. No
body reached us today-we reached
them. We wanted more water and we
crawled over our own barrier and
were and we walked about 10 feet
apart, SO as not to fall on each other.
The last "fall-in" nearly blocked the
passage and we had to worm our way
through a long aperture just large
enough to hold us. We were dread
fully weak.
"We had breathed much poison.
Then we saw the rescuers who had come
down. There was no cheering. We just
sat down and let them take care of US.
That was all. Nobody had voice

Subacus was the only man allowed to

doctors fearing that the men would eat

allow him to have his own way.

heroes who escaped from the mine, in

YALE WON.
Yale Won from Harvard in Annual
Football Game, s to 0.

Cambridge, Mass. Yale's husky
gladiators upheld the traditions of the
past and justified the confidence of
their supporters of the hour when, in
the annual game with Harvard here
Saturday, they walked away with the
winning end of an to score. Few
more desperately fought or deservedly
won contests have been fought by the
old-time rivals.
Driving the crimson team steadily
back by his long punts Captain Coy
dropped two goals from the field and
the aggressive forwards of the Yale
team contributed two points more by
blocking a Harvard punt which re-
suited in a safety for the crimson.
While Yale seemed to win easily
the game was a distinct disappoint-
ment from a Harvard standpoint, for
the crimson eleven showed greater
power than the blue in straight rush
ing, and at one time carried the ball
SO yards in four scrimmages.
Yale disclosed no spectacular foot
ball, while Harvard resorted to few
open plays.

the crowd, fairly insane with the great
