Denies Responsibilities
of Life Uncertain.

SURF, Cal, July S-Capt. J. O. Faria,
commander Of the wrecked steamer Santa
Rosa, made q statement today as he stood
on the beach looking at the fragment Of
his vessel which remains above water.
He placed the blame for the stranding of

the shoulders of Third officer Thomas,
who was officer Of the deck when the
Santa Rosa plunged upon the rocks before
dawn yesterday morning. Thomas. in de-
Tense, stated that he lover read" the
ships log. and thought he was off Point
Conception, several points south of the
spot where the steamer grounded
Capt Faria said the current sets hard
ashore near Saddle rock, where the steam
er struck, and that Thomas neglected to
call him. as is customary, when sound
ings were taken.

Whether or not there was loss Of life
among the passengers is still in doubt.
Some of the ships company say positively
that from three to eight persisted, but
as yet no effort has been made to check
the passenger list against the survivors
AS the passengers left here on various
possible. Supt Allison Of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company. who arrived
today, said that the vessel was total
loss, and that Capt. Pillsbury. surveyor
for the marine underwriters, had given
permission to abandon the wreck. after

said that fully 100 persons now living In
Los Angeles were married aboard the old
craft, and that thousands have gone with
her on their honeymoon trips.
Superstition that the ship WAS lucky

prosperity upon the sea of matrfmony
of those who sailed with her was a strong
to young couples Many run
away matches were made on the old ship.
and marriages aboard at one time were
