Nineteen Reach Shore.

Bolinas, CAL, Nov. 24.-Two women,
a small boy and sixteen men out of a
total of sixty souls who were on board
the steamer Hanalei when she broke
into driftwood shortly before daylight
today on Duxbury reef, just north Of
the entrance of San Francisco harbor,
battled their way to safety thru the
surf and were dragged ashort by life
savers and citizen volunteers. A few
Of the others could be seen in the wa
ter fighting the strong current and the
heavy timbers with which the sea was
Uttered
Even while the work of rescuing the
weakened survivors was going on, the
grim evidence of the tragedy which had
followed the night of heart breaking
struggle against the strength of the sea
began to drift ashore. The first body
was that Of an elderly woman, which
was washed UP among the wreckage.
Life Savers Drowned.
Five members of a crew Of life
savers trying to reach the Hanalei.
were drowned early last night. Two Of
the Hanaleis crew were drowned while
trying to make their way thru the
surf.
thick fog prevented relief ships
from aiding in the rescue and when
darkness closed in and the rescue
craft sought safety in deep waters, it
was realized that the only possible
hope Of saving the remaining passen-
gers and crew was to get a line out
from shore. To make this attempt a
San Francisco newspaper arranged to
send mortar gun and the crew of the
Golden Gate life saving station to the
scene Of the wreck. A motor truck met
the life savers at Sausalito on the
north side of San Francisco bay and
began the long journey around the
heads to point opposite The stricken
vessel. 1t was believed the life savers
would reach the scene about midnight.
Boats Wash Ashore.
Two of the Hanalefs boats upside
down and life raft, also were washed
upon the shelving beach. The schooner
lay a hundred yards off shore, blan-
keted in the fog which led her on the
reef and which shut off sight and
sound alike. Just at dusk rift in the
fog revealed glimpse Of the doomed
boat, pounded by the surf which
breaks over the reef even in quiet
weather. The wind brought indistin-
guishable cries from the passengers
and crew. An instant later the fog
blotted out the picture.
1t was SO thick that persons five
feet apart could not distinguish each
others presence and a little fleet Of
schooners and tubs which had been
trying thru the afternoon TO get in
touch with the Hanalei without them
selves piling up on the reef, drew OF
as night came on. Some OF ihem stood
out to sea and one or two returned to
San Francisco. A few remained near
