BLUNTS REEF IS GRAVEYARD
Bodies OF Twelve Brought Ashore
Captain Among Missing
Rescue Vessel Lands
1866 Survivors.

Eureka, Cal.-The steamer Alaska,
of the San Francisco and Portland
Steamship Company, southbound from
Portland, Ore, to San Francisco. sank
30 minutes after crashing into the
rocks of Blunts Reef, 40 miles south
of this. Forty-eight persons, SO pas
sengers and IL of the crew, were lost.
The survivors, numbering 166 per-
sons, were brought here by the rescue
ship Anyox, the first vessel to reach
the scene of the wreck in response to
the Alaska's radio signals. The Coast
Guard tug Ranger, returned to port
with the bodies of II men. Eight were
members of the crew and four were
passengers. Captain Harry HOBBY,
master of the Alaska, is still unac-
counted for and is believed to have
gone down with his ship.
OF the survivors landed by the
Anyox, 80 were more or less seriously
injured and received medical treat
ment at local hospitals.
The Alaska struck the reef bow on
in dense fog, according to the sur
yivors, and Immediately began to list.
The work of launching lifeboats was
accomplished without delay or disor-
der. Three of the boats successfully
rode the waves, but the fourth was
capsized, throwing its occupants into
the sea. The greatest loss, survivors
said, resulted from this mishap. A few
who wore life belts succeeded in keep
ing afiost until picked up.
Captain Hobey, when the last of the
lifeboats had been sent over the side
of the rapidly filling Alaska, went to
the stern of his vessel and he was
there when it started its plunge to the
bottom.
Praise was mutually extended be-
tween members Of the crew and pas
sengers in their stories of the scenes
following the crash. Despite the iso-
lating; terror on the ship which was
enveloped in fog with the swells dash
ing against it and throwing spray
from jagged rocks of the reef, calm
ness prevailed among the passengers
and crew. 1t, was a short time that
scant 80 minutes between the striking
on the rock and the sinking. But
without signs of disorder the pas
sengers were helped into the life boats
under calm direction of officers and
crew and lowered into the water.
Captain Hobey's heroic direction of
the life saving was such a thrilling
example that several men passengers.

as individual as men
and women. Again, like men, "some
are born great, others achieve great
ness and others have greatness thrust
upon them" A nation which has no
memory of it's departed great is in
bad way. So also is that nation which
has no thought of it's historic land
marks. And how often is that historic
landmark tree!
Anyway, the American Forestry as
sociation of Washington is compiling
who's Who of trees in America
and people all over the country are
nominating worthwhile trees for a
Hall of Fame for Trees. The move
ment is popular 1t should be. Many
a tree has associations worth preserv-
ing for posterity. M .
If a tree can be said TO be born
great, here is one. 1t is the Stratford-,
on-Avon oak in Central park, New
York city, nominated for the Hall of
Fame by Miss Viola Overman. This
treeling was sent to Walter Hines
Page, when he was ambassador to the
Court of st. James, by the mayor of
historic Stratford. 1t was forwarded
to the Shakespeare Garden committee
OF Central park and planted, with
appropriate ceremonies.
y OF course, the finest example of
achieved greatness is the Gen.. Sher-
man sequoia in Sequoia National park,
California. 1t is the biggest and old
est living thing on earth. 1t is 1865
feet in diameter and 279.9 feet high.
1t is more than 1000 years old. A
tree that has achieved greatness of
different kind Is the Carbondale (Pa.)
elm, nominated by E. M. Peck; it is
believed to be the most perfectly pro-
portioned elm tree in the United
States.
A tree that had greatness thrust
upon tor at least notoriety-was
the giant cottonwood that stood in the
middle of the street in Pueblo, Colo,
until it was cut down in 1883. Its
age was estimated at $50 years; its
circumference was % feet. Beneath
this tree the first white woman who
died in Colorado was buried. Thirty
six people were massaered by Indians
under it. Fourteen men were hanged
on its branches.
Many of our historic trees are dead !;
more's the pity. For the Old Mulberry
tree att st. Mary's, Nd, the claim is
made that it was the most famous tree
in the colonies. The claim will be,
disputed by many, particularly by the
friends of the great trees on Boston
common, which saw so much history
written. Both trees fell in 1876. one
hundred years after the Declaration
of Independence. All the history of
Maryland is written around the Old
Mulberry, for it was there Lord Cal
vert landed and it was for years the
site of the capital of Maryland. The
old Mulberry tree is nominated by
Mrs. Della Harris Maddox, who has
written a poem about the famous tree.
OF the historic Boston common II
has been written: Probably no 9TH
er spot in the United States has seen
so many thousands of men recruited
for military service or so many
millions of dollars contributed for the
