Wireless Operator Is Hero

Cable dispatches received by the As sociated Press from Cordova indicate that Wireless Operator Hayes is the hero of the wreck. In spite of the fact that the Olympia was being tossed violently and the wireless was worked with difficulty. Hayes stuck to his post and managed to reach the operator on duty at the naval wireless station at Cordova with his calls for assistance. The operators kept in touch with each other as much as pos sible, but there were distressingly long in tervals when the governments shore sta ton was unable to detect vibration from the Olympias wireless.
 Hayes finally succeeded in getting his instruments to work long enough to flash miles distant that all were still on board the Olympia, hopeful that she would hold together until the rescuers arrived.
 For seven of the 52 passengers of the Olympia this Is the second shipwreck experience within ten days. They first sailed from Seattle December 1 on the steamship Northwestern. The vessel was few hours out of port when she went on the rocks in False bay, San Juan. Her passengers were brought back to Se- attle and sailed again on the Olympia
 The Olympia built in Glasgow in 1SS3 was operated between the United King dom and China for several years Later she was transferred to the North Pacific Steamship company and placed between Seattle and the Orient. In 1904 she was sold to the Northwestern Steamship com panv. which later was absorbed by the Alaska Steamship company.

Sea Pounds the Ship

The sea pounded the ship unceasngly
 Upon the rocks. Water poured into the
 hold flooding the engine room, extn-
 gushing the electric lights and finally,
 about D. m., made the wireless ap- paratus entirely worthless. The passengers, when day broke Sun
 day morning, looked out on the dreary
 prospect, but were calm and hopeful. There was abundance of food Darkness was falling on the short Alas kan day when at o'clock, 15 hours after
 the Olympia struck, the government launch Donaldson and the steamer Juno came into sight. The storm then had
 largely abated, and the Olympia was rest ing quietly.
 The rescue boats went to the lee side of the steamship, and without difficulty i2S persons-passengers and crew-were
 taken off together with the mail, express
 and baggage
 They were conveyed first to Elemar | where they received every attention pos sible. The Donaldson reached Valdez early today with some of them. The Olympia lies on Bligh Island reef enshrouded with ice from the sea, which froze upon her. The prospect of saving the vessel is poor nor is it likely that any of the cargo can be saved. The yes sel was valued at s25O GOO and the cargo at | &OGl0.

PASSENGERS SAVED
 FROM SH|PWRECK Steamer Runs Aground on the
 Alaskan Coast SAVED BY WIRELESS Two Vessels Go to the Rescue of the Grounded Steamer and over Hundred Persons Are Taken
 to the Shore
SAVED BY WIRELESS

Valdez, Alaska. December 12-All of the passengers on the Alaska Steamship com panys steamship Olympia. which went on the rocks at Blgh Island, Prince Will fijam sound, Saturday night. were taken off the ship at o'clock yesterday aft ernoon, together with the mails and bag gage and were conveyed to Valdez and E.emar. Most of the passengers are here. Those at Elemar are well cared for in the little village.
 The Olympia left Cordova Saturday evening after unloading large quantity of coal in her afterhold and soon ran into a fierce gale. The empty stern stood too high out of the water and in the tempest the ship became unmanagable and was spun about by the wind. About midnight she went hard and fast on the Bligh Island reef
 Wireless Operator Hayes sent out the distress call. which was picked up at Cordova and Valdez, and also gave as much information of the wreck as he could for the water soon put out the fires and made the wireless unavoidable The government launch Donaldson from Fort Iiscum and the steamer Juno left at once for Bligh island and took off the passengers and crew without mishap.
 Passengers Rescued
 The launch Donaldson arrived here first with number of passengers. Later the Juno came in with the crew and other passengers. Federal Judge Edward c. Cushman and Mrs. Cushman and the oth- CT women and children were left at Ele- mar. whence they will be brought to Val deg by the Donaldson.
 Nothing has been heard of the Dora, the third vessel to so to the relief of the Olympia.
 All passengers and the crew showed great courage, and there were no mishaps of any kind in transferring the people to the rescuing ship.
 According to the stories of passengers, the Olympia struck Bligh Island reef, four miles off shore and 35 miles from Valdez, at midnight Saturday. After the first impact the ship slid and then settled, rerting forward of-amidship
 A high sea was running, diven by ter rife gale, and the weather was bitter cold saloon door on/the windward side of the ship having been opened, the com hined efforts of three men were required to close it. The officers dared not send out the life boat on account Of the high wind and the intense seas. They were confident that the stout hull of the Olympia would hold together until aid arrived
