Steamer Hits Reef
PASSENGER BOAT ALASKA WITH LARGE LIST ON BOARD
HITS BLUNTS REEF
Sank Within Fifteen Minutes
Watery

Last Saturday night the coastwise
passenger steamer Alaska ran onto
Blunt's Reef, 100 miles north of San
Francisco, while going through a
dense fog, and sank within Is min
utes. Radio messages from the sink
ing steamer stated the life boats were
being lowered but the exact number
of those saved will not be known for
several days. 1t is presumed that no
less than so passengers and members
of the crew were drowned.
Press stories sent out indicate that
the vessel sank with such sudden
ness that there was no time to allow
passengers to gather their belong
ings. The records of the purser sank
with the steamer so that there will
be no opportunity to check the loss
of life until the list of passengers
can be secured from the shipping of
flee. Out of the PA persons believ-
ed to have been aboard 167 have been
accounted for. The fate of the 9TH
ers is still unknown.
At the time of the sinking a series
the Alaska, but these ceased at 9:45.
The nearest vessel to the wrecked
steamer at the time of the sinking
We're the Ernest H. Myer, 80 miles
north of Eureka, and the FL Segunda,
120 miles away. Neither of these two
boats could reach the scene of the
wreck until the next day.
Sunday and Monday II bodies were
4 recovered along the coast 40 miles
north of the wreck near Eureka,
Cal. and Of these Is have been iden-
titled as six passengers and nine
members Of the crew. Patrols are
searching the coast for bodies day
and night. Many of those rescued
are confined to the sos pital at Eu-
. reka, where they are receiving treat
= ment for injuries received.

They were all profuse in their praise
n of the captain, Harry Hobey, who

ing the time of loading the passen-
h gers into boats. He stuck to his post

h From the statemenU OF Second Of
,r ficer E. D. Dupree it was learned

WILL ABOLISH
HAI.Z Y ''U''
Freshmen Take Pledge to
Do Away With Annual
Forms of Initiation.

: THAT serious hazing at the Univer-
sity of North Dakota will be done
away with is indicated in the fact that
he entire membership OF the fresh
men class has pledged itself to refrain
from partaking in the usual forms of
initiation mex year. 4 unanimous
vote was taken at the assembly of the
freshmen at matriculation Saturday
to this effect.
Since its organization two years ago.
the mems conference of the univer-
,sity, now the governing body Of the
institution, has endeavored to abolish
extreme forms of initiation, not
through the making of laws but
through getting the students to take
the matter of stopping the proposition
into their own hands. It has attained
its goal to a large extent in the pledge
taken by the new students.
This pledge. however, does not
necessarily abolish the wearing of the
green cap. nor does it>tend to do away
with the annual frosh-soph contests,
which were established last year.
These contests were introduced with
the hope that they would 'usurp the
place of padding, and other danger
u tactics used in Showing the new
students their place" at the univer-
sitv. -
