The four members of the crew all
lived In San Francisco.
The Santa Rosa went ashore just
before dawn. at the bar at the mouth
of Monda creek. 1t is supposed that a
powerful searchlight used by a gang
of railroad laborers working near the
wreck was the cause of the vessel
leaving its course, the quartermaster
mistaking it for the light of the Point
Arguel!o lighthouse. The vessel lay
about 200 yards from shore near Sad
die rock. where the Yankee Blade was
wrecked several years ago.
When the boat struck the injury did
not appear To be serious, and Captain
Farla believing he would be able again
10 float the Santa Rosa. made no at
tempt To land the passengers a
sharp wind. rising soon after 4 o'clock
threatened to rack the boat to pieces,
and hasty preparations were made to
take the passengers and crew TO shore.
At s.: 80 o'clock IA heavy swell cracked
the vessel amidships and at o'clock
II split in two.
At 9:30 o'clock last night the Santa
Rosa was almost Submerged and
frantic efforts were being made To
save the rest of the 200 passengers
left aboard her.
At that hour the government wire
less station at Point Arguello reported
that the vessel had broken amidships
and that the breakers We're washing

wreck and 1t seems virtually certain
that the number of dead will mount

The doom of the steamer was sealed
shortly after O'Clock yesterday
when rising wind stirred up high
sea and forced the abandonment OF
efforts to transfer the passengers OF
the Santa Rosa to the steam schooner
Centralia which. with the schooner
Helen p Drew, had previously made
abortive efforts To float her.
Up to that time no apprehensions o.
danger were entertained by the Officers
and crew of the stranded vessel. /
