MOTHER AND BOY OWE
LIVES TO PRESENCE
OF LIFE PRESERVERS IS

Mamma, I don't want to die until I
see papa once more" pleaded little
Herbert Veilbaum, son of Mrs. Charles
Veilbaum of 26 Flood avenue, San
Francisco, after he was rescued from
the water where he was thrown when
boat No 1 was dropped endwise into
the sea with sixteen women and chill
dren on board.
"You will get home to papa If you
sit quiet" said his mother tenderly as
she held him close to her in the boat
where they had been placed by their
rescuers.
"Shall we cover our eyes and pray,
mamma?" whispered the lad, who bore
up bravely when their boat was being
pushed in through the breakers. He
was lifted in strong arms, wrapped in
one of the ships white blankets, and
borne to the beach, where fires soon
were built to warm the chilled passen-
gers who were suffering from expo

"I am convinced the life preseryers
saved my boy and also prevented me
from sinking when we were thrown
into the sea-" said Mrs. Veilbaum.
''When the alarm came and we were
told we must take to the boats l went
into my stateroom and got two life
prcservers. | put one on my little boy
and one on myself. A few minutes
later we were struggling in the water.

bies safely ashore. and if l had lost

they made the man who was holding
my little girl get into the boat with
us. He was Sidney Anderson, a sea-
man from San Pedro, and he was the
bravest and best man in our boat, al
though all were heroes"
The little three-year-old girl looked
with big, blue, wondering eyes on the
scene where the men and women were
grouped in circles around the blazing
logs of the camp fires 1t was almost
as great mystery to her as to her
baby sister who snuggled close to her
mother, wrapped in the big white blan-
kets fro mthe st. CrOiX.

William Kergan Day of the firm of

agents of III Market street, San Fran

financial loss of any passenger He
had nearly $4,000 worth of jewelry

none of which could be taken in the

Mr.. Day, as he tramped the road to-
ward Santa Monica, but not near the
real value. AS great a loss will be
the time in getting ready to start in

me and a month or two at least in ar

SURVIVORS IN WAGON
ON WAY TO SHELTER
MEET WITH ACCIDENT

A second accident occurred TO a
dozen men and women after the first
adventure and escape from the burn
ing st. Croix. These unfortunates were
passengers on board a wagon drawn
by six sturdy if somewhat skittish
mules, during the trip from the spot
on the beach where the battered
boats, to the gateman's shanty, where
campfres were built and the weary
ones made as comfortable as possible.
The driver Of this improvised am
bulance was picking his way along
the beach in the darkness when his
mules became frightened and swerVed
toward the sea. The left forward wheel
Of the wagon struck a bowlder and
the vehicle was violently shunted into
the surf. The mules started to run
and swung off from the shore. In an
instant a big comber dashed over the
wagon, drenching it's occupants and
sending terror to the hearts of the
women and children aboard.
The driver was unable to extricate
the wagon from its perlous position,
owing to big rocks ahead of his team
without an instant's delay the sailors
and passengers, who were walking
along the beach, rushed into the surf
and seized the women and carried
them ashore
Among those rescued was Miss NJ
II. Brookman of 1909 Ingraham street
and Miss NJ Marriott, 2279 West
Twenty-nnth place, Los Angeles. The
young women declared their second
adventure was only less thrilling than
the early dramatic occurrences of the
day Both of the women were en-
thusiastic in their praise of the Off
GERS and men of the St Croix. They
were Joined by Mrs. L. Pearson and
her son. Howard, who both declared
the officers had behaved splendidly
throughout the ordeal

the point opposite the wreck in time
ITO be Of considerable assistance to the
officers Of the ship. They brought
back to the gatehouse Purser j. L.
Ford and Chief Engineer Charles
Lowe.
All day long inquiries were made
for information concerning these men,
as the purser was expected to bring
relief but never returned.
Finnegan and Fitzgerald met with
an adventure on their return to the
gatehouse with the gasoline tram car.
Running at twenty miles an hour the
car struck a stratum of drifted sand
and in an instant was derailed. The
engineer suffered a severe wrench of
his ankle and Finnegan sustained a
skinned shin.
In a few minutes, by exerting his
powerful strength, Finnegan had the
car again on the rails and with Fitz-
gerald at the throttle the car was soon
moving rapidly again.
These men were also of great as
sistance to the survivors who drifted
to the big campfires which they kept
on the beach
