STEAMER ST. CROIX
BURNED UP WHILE OFF COAST
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Crew of SO and SO Passengers All Saved
by Their Prompt and Heroic Action
Reach Shore, Near Point Duma,
Three Miles Distant, in Lifeboats 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 water 8 edge Saturday night at a
point three miles off Point Duma and
Is miles north of Santa Monica and
the lives of the 80 passengers aboard
and those of the crew of SO 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 a little beach.
The fire started in the second cabin
while dinner was being served and
had made such Roadway before it 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
averted 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.
It's 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 to go for
ward and remain on the main deck.
Meanwhile lifeboats and life RATS were
lowered and the passengers placed in
them.
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 a roaring
furnace.
The passengers, the majority of
whom were women, remained in the
d~esolate canyon until Sunday, when re-
lief from this city was sent them.
Ten days ago an explosion took
place in the boiler room of the st. Croix
Chief Engineer Day was scalded
% death. The belief is that an explo-
'ion in the engine room below the
second cabin caused the fire. /

YALR WON.
Yale Won from Harvard In Annual
Football Game, 8 to o.

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 8 to 0 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 n time carried the ball
SO yards in four scrimmages.
Yale disclosed no spectacular foot
ball, while Harvard resorted to few
open plays.
