The Falls of Clyde arrived here this
morning, 16 days from Gaviota, and
reported fair weather and a smooth
trip. She brought 5000 barrels of
crude oil and $50 drums of gasoline
for the Associated Oil Company and
is now discharging at the Railroad
wharf.
The account which the officers give
Of the wreck of the Rosecrans adds
little to the story which has already
reached here through various medi-
ums. That their ship was ever in Sc
rious danger they deny. Cablegrams
from the Coast and accounts in Coast
! files represented the Falls of Clyde in
imminent danger of going ashore the
night of the gale which carried the
.Rosecrans aground.

had both anchors out, a hawser to a

When the gale first came up the Sec
ond officer of the Rosecrans and four
men put off in a boat to make line
fast but they were caught by the storm
before they could accomplish anything
and, finding that they could not get
back to the steamer and could not get
to the beach through the surf, they
made for us and we took them aboard.
After that no boat could have lived
in the sea and although we were lying
within 300 yards of the steamer it
was Impossible for us to send any
assistance"
With regard to the damage done the
Rosecrans, one of the officers said:
There is nothing the matter with her
except a hole in the engine room and
there is no reason why she should
not be taken off, repaired and put
back into service. The night we left

A sAMPAN AMONG THE MISSING.
There is grave reason to fear that
"a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS motor sam
pan which left Pukoo, Molokai, last
Monday evening bound for Honolulu,
has been lost and that two Japanese
who were aboard have lost their
lives.
The sampan left Pukoo with an
other sampan last Monday at D. IN.
Both were coming to Honolulu for re-
pairs.
Eugene Duvauchelle was aboard the
sampan which came to port safey.
He states that the weather was
fine when the two boats left Pukoo
and, that he kept the other craft in
sampan which came to port safely.
Shortly after midnight it started
to blow and the sea kicked up con-
siderably. Duvauchelles boat had a
perilous experience and barely sur
vived the squat. She lost her mast
and carried away her jib, making the
rest of the trip to Honolulu under
her own power and reaching port at
Y a. m.
Duvauchelle waited till O'clock on
Tuesday afternoon and then, as the
other sampan had not put in an APP
pearance, he wrote to his brother
Edward at Pukoo telling him of the
experience of the journey and appris-
ing him of the nonarrival of the
sampan.
Eugene Duvauchelle received word
from his brother by the steamer
Kilauea on Saturday that the missing
sampan had not put back to Pukoo.
