be added to the list OF the eight
known dead. bringing the total fatal
ties TO nineteen. The bare chance
remained that some OF the missing
might have wandered away after being
put ashore

Santa Clara. He was an OCCUPANT OF
one OF the ships boats which capsized
as 1t was launched. He swan in the
darkness to the shore, but found him
self against precipitious cliff and
could not get out of the water.
After clinging to the cliff as long as
he could, and shouting vainly for aid.
he swan back to the wrecked steamer
and was pulled aboard. He was finally
sent ashore In the breaches buoy
