IS
LOST WITH
3 men
Gale OF the California Coast
Wrecks Steam Vessel h-
erdeen, and All Members Of
Crew Are Believed Lost

San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-Caught in
a sea churned to furious heights by
a 90-mile gale, the steam schooner
Aberdeen dashed to splinters early
today on the jagged rocks near Point
Bonita beyond the heads, and eight
men aboard her are believed to have
perished.
Timbers crushed to a pulp, the
broken stump of a main mast and
pieces of the bow and stern Of the
vessel crashed up under the bluffs OF
the point in the murky dawn. But
there was no sign Of her lifeboats.
except the broken splinters.
Life-saving patrols, who had
braved the wintry night, felt certain
the eight men aboard could not have
escaped except by a virtual miracle.
The one chance in a thousand, they
said, was that lifeboats had put over
and gone out to sea before the waves
crumpled the ship on the rocks. or
that some other storm-tossed ship
had picked them up. The men be-
|lieved dead are:
Captain Peter Knudsen, R. J.
Moore, Edward Johnson, r. J. John
son, Louis Decuttoni, Edward Smith.
and two unidentified sailors.
The Aberdeen, formerly in the
Seattle fishing trade, had been used
as the garbage vessel for the city Of
Oakland. Twice week she steamed
out to the open sea to dump her cargo
of refuse. Aboard her when she
started out of port in the face OF
storm warnings was Inspector Moore.
in addition to the regular crew
AS the night wore on, the vessel
had reached a spot where she was in
the very center of the storm mael-
strom. That she battled against the
roaring winds to make port is prob
able. But she was too small to win
against the gale.
The first word Of the wreck came
in message to Captain Nelson. COM
mander at the Golden Gate coast
guard station.
In Oakland a fearful woman heard
the story of the wreck Historically.
She was Moore's wife.
"Oh, warned him not to go out
in the storm" she moaned. Il was
afraid of the sea-"
All days she besieged Oakland OFF,
cials for news Of the men aboard
but there was none.
The Inflated vessel was owned by
Captain Linderman, of Oakland. who
leased 1t to the city.
