tBy Morning journal Special Leased Wirel
Los Angeles, Nov. 20.-The passen-
| ger steamer st. Croix of the North
Pacific Steamship company. burned
to the waters edge tonight at a point
three miles off Point Duma and eigh-
teen miles north of Santa Monica and
the lives Of 81 passengers aboard and
those of the crew of Sc 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 on RATS and were safely
landed at Point Duma on a sand
beach.
They are capped tonight in the Zuni
canyon back of the point. The fire
started in the second cabin while am
ner was being served and had made
such headway before it was discov-
cred that the greatest difficulty was
experienced in launching the boats
and life raft and placing the passen-
gers safely aboard them.
A panic among the passengers was
averted by the prompt action OF the
officers and crew who gave ps5ser-
gers no chance to save their personal
belongings.
First officer n z. Hill Immediately
after the landing of the passengers at
Point Duma, made his way overland
to Malibu's rapch and there secured
"a adtomobile sA4s ssn.e 10 santa

nation of the landing of she pass

At o'clock, while the hull of the
st. Croix was burning fiercely, the
steamship City of Topeka passed
within a short distance OF her, but
being unable to discover any signs of
life aboard proceeded on her course
to Redondo and gave out the first re-
port of the disaster.
The st. Croix left San Pedro at 10
O'Clock this morning bound for San
Francisco, direct She carried no
freight and her passenger list of 50
was an exceedingly a light one, She
was proceeding in good time at the
moment the fire was discovered. Its
origin is unknown. A member of the
crew discovered the flames issuing
from the windows and gave the
alarm Much excitement ensued and
panic was imminent when the off
GERS commanded the passengers 10 go
forward and remain on the main
deck. Meanwhile the lifeboats and
RATS were lowered and the passengers
placed in them. First OFFICER Mill
states that as the last boat contain
ing members of the crew left the st
Croix the flames burst forth from all
sides and the iron hull of the steamer
became a roaring furnace. .
The passengers. the majority or
whom are women. must remain IN
the desolate Zuni canyon until day
light. when relief, which has been
sent from this city, Will reach them.
Arrangements viii be made for bring

more the scope Of the general scheme.
To have them come to the west ana
especially the southwest is fortunate
at this time. or course each senator
feels that his own state is the best
and there is always an inclination to
overlook the outlying states and espc-
cially the territories. But on tins
visit the senatorial committee have
appreciated the bigness of the WORK
being undertaken and have also reco2-
nzed the justice of the claim the
south and west has fer such work.
