ship before it could get clear, and the
members of the crew who had lowered
1t were thrown into the water. Among
the mwas Captain Lie. He managed
to scramble back on deck and ran
across to the opposite side, sliding down
a davit rope into the water, when he
was promptly pulled aboard one of the
other boats Three of the men who
were thrown into the water were
picked up after the ship went down by
the boats from the Beaver, still hanging
to portions of the broken boat.
The Selia began settling Immediately
after collision. The water poured In
through the great hole in the side and
the forward deck was soon awash. AS
the bow went down, the stern rose so
feet in the air, the propeller still turn
ing, and the deckload of merchandise
sliding off into the sea with a great
clatter. The same instant that the
smoke stack disappeared beneath the
water, the whistle shrieked out a last
blast, the rope probably having become
fouled by some of the floating freight.
The wreck did not disappear imme-
diately. The air imprisoned beneath
the decks buoyed it up and held the
stern above water for many minutes.
AS, it slowly went down the hiss of
the escaping air through the crevices
in the deck could be heard distinctly
on the Beaver. The hull finally turned
completely over, the last portion of the
boat visible being the screw, the rudder
and the back end of the keel.
The wreck was so long in disappear
ing that the crew believe the bow
struck rock or lodged in the mud
and was held until the hull gradually
toppled over and fell on its side.
PASSENGERS NOT ALARMED
Discipline on board the Beaver was
excellent. Immediately after the COL
| lision Purser K. W. Clark and other
officers of the crew went among the
! passengers and restored confidence by
explaining that the Beaver was only
| slightly damaged. and while water was
| coming in through the injured plates,
! that the water tight bulkheads would
| not permit the ship to fill. The pas
! sengers crowded the rails, watching
/ every move of the rescuing parties,
| but displaying no great excitement.
Among the steerage passengers the
alarm was more keen and several put
on life preservers, but were ordered
| to remove them by the officers. When
| the steamer turned back to San Fran
cisco the water all about the wreck
was strewn with wreckage.
