Anxious Rescuers See Yes sel Pound to Pieces Un-
 able to Aid Victims.
IN RIGGING ALL NIGHT
Exposed to Heavy Seas Since Noon Monday, the Hanalei Breaks in Two at Dawn-Sea Takes
 Babe From Mother.

San Francisco, Nov. 24.-Eignteen are dead, 40 have been saved and four are still missing and unaccounted for in the wreck of the steam schooner Hanalei, which broke to pieces at dawn this morning on Duxbury reef, the graveyard of the Pacific" nine miles north of the Golden Gate.
 This is the tragic story of the wreck of the little coasting steamer which ran on the treacherous rocks in the dense fog at noon yesterday and was pounded to kindling wood by the merciless sea, which foiled every effort that was made to take off any of the 62 people who were aboard the ship.
 For IS hours the heavy sea washed ing to her rigging, while hundreds of anxious rescuers toiled in vain against the rollers. the fog and the rocks, which kept all other vessels at a distance and threatened instant Ge- struction to every boat which atempt- ed to approach the doomed ship.
 Of those saved, 30 were lowed ashore by life lines or struggled through the smother of surf by their own strength, and thirteen were car red aboard the revenue cutter Me- Culloch. All the dead were also on the revenue cutter.
 As the vessel had 62 persons aboard all told, the list of dead and living leave but four unaccounted for.
 These figures do not include, how ever, five men of the Fort Point life saving crew, San Francisco, who were swamped last night. Two of these were known to have come safe ashore.
 The condition of those rescued Is pitiable. All day yesterday they clung to the rigging of the sinking ship, and all night they were exposed to the terrors of the elements with help in sight but unable to reach them.
 Babe Washed from Mothers Arms. Mrs. D. Goldfnger of San Francis co, rescued by the revenue cutter told of seeing the 7-months-old baby of Mrs. Sarah Franz washed from its mothers arms by a huge wave and carried out to sea. The mother was rescued. All of the passengers of the wrecked steamer were from Pacific coast points.
 1 A life line which had been shot ov- CT the wreck parted just as tho schooner broke in two. Earl Carlson James O'Donnel and David Neville passengers, and Jens Steen and Free Sievers, sailors, were the five who swam ashore.
 At 2 o'clock in the morning thu Golden Gate life saving crew, with {: larger mortar, appeared. Througl the enterprise of a local newspape it had been ferried across San Fran cisco bay, loaded on motor trucl and sent ten miles over mountain roads. It began to shoot lines to ward the wreck as the tide rose. Ali l ter the third shot the water wa waist deep on the schooner and tn l wireless operator, who was sending with an improvised outfit, held in on hand, reported that the passenger were desperate.
 We will get ashore as best w can," he reported. "We cannot sta, here."
 But they dared not trust the waves
 "Try once more. Hurry! Hurry! called the operator little later.
 The Hanalei was a wooden vesse of 666 tons, built for the Hawaiian sugar trade in 1901 and later diverle to coastwise traffic, running betwee San Francisco and Eureka. She lei Eureka Sunday. She was owned b the Independent Steamship company. Il E'uxbury reef is at the end of deep and narrow channel runnin i north from San Francisco harbo along the very edge of the cliffs. Bi and little boats follow it in and ou to avoid a pig welter of shoal wate ,I known as the "potatO patch," whic
 begins just beyond the channel an runs for miles out to sea. In clea weather it is easily navigated.
