All the records of the T"n!ted States Court, which had Just concluded Its sitting at Cordova, were on tha t lym j'la. but were saved. There Is no wireless station at Val dez and the n -ages from the Olympta which the Cordova station received could not be transmitted to Valdes un til the opening of the Government cita ble late Sunday morning. The wreck waa only IS miles from Valdes, which was the natural relief point. Itelirf Turned Hark by Storm. The Uiuni'h Corsair, which put out from Katal'a to go to the assistance of the Otympla. waa cotnpelWii to turn bark on account of tha fury of the storm. Tha Government launch Lieutenant XvmaM sin made two trips to HMarr.ar with the fassercst-re an.l the steamer June took oft the rrew and the United Plates mail and t!:e bacgnge. Tassengers praise the crew for the work done to make things comfortable about the stormsw.pt ship. The en gineer and fireman staved, below until the rising water put out the fires. This phut off the steam heat and left the rook's galley the only warm p'.ace on board, ttome sailors soon remedied this defect. They punched holes In a ventilator to make a draft and then Improvised a stove out of an Iron wheW harrow and a gal vanised Iron tub. They soon had a roar ing (Ire going In the cabin and everyone was made comfortable again. One of the most anxious hours was when the clne-fot tide rose at t o'clock tn the morning It a as feared that the boat would be lifted and would slid off Into, deep wat-r. Soundings taken at low water showed IS feet at the stern. 1 fret amidships and Iv feat under the bow. At this time tha water was 13 feet deep in the foremost hold. t'rtn Iroe Groundless. Te f-ax of the passengers over tha rising of the tide proved groundless. h-n trie tide was at flood and the dan g'r waa greatest tha hold fllled quKkly ' and the boat settled quietly. This stopped the "pounding snd tossing for a. tlma and yroed to be sn advantage. "When tha boat first at rock, she main tained an even keel, but at 4 o'clock she began to list to starboard, aaid Chief Cook Aralees, In telling of tha wreck. Tearing that she might lay on ber beam-end, tha starboard boats wera low ered and ban led around to tha lea aide of tha vessel. "Tha boats were lowered with great dif ficulty. Giant waves kept dashing over tha Teasel and the freezing spray soon covered the ship with a mass of Ice. Tha blocks and goar of the boats were frozen wild and the sailors had to work in the cold wind, breaking the Ice out of the gear with marline spikes. By the time the gear was In working order the sailors were covered with Ice. It waa fortunate that tbe passengers did not bare to take to the small boats, for If they had. and esvaped awwrnptng. they doubtless wouid bare been frozen to death. I'aen-er Are Drenched. The wsves dashed completely over the ship. I;cnt'rs on the deck mere drenched and before they could g-:l Mo evver their clothes acre turned to macs of ice. The forward deck wa covered with Ice nx Inches thick and all the rig ging was clogged with the frozen spray."' According to the stories of the passen gers rescued from the ill-fated steamship and brought here loday, after the first impact the ship slid and then settled, resting forward of amidships. A tre mendous sea was rurrhlng. driven by a terrific gale and the weather waa bit terly cold. A aaloon door on tha wind ward side of the Olympla having been opened, the combined efforta of three men w-re required to close It. The officers dared not send out thelife boats on account of the high sea and Intense cold, and they believed that the atout hull of tbe Olympia would bold together until aid arrived. Tbe sea pounded the ship unceasingly upon tha rocka. Water poured Into tha hold, flooding the engine room, extinguish ing the electric lights and finally, about X P. XL. making tha wireless ap paratus entirely worthless. Officer' Conduct Lauded. Tha conduct of the officers and crew was admirable and tha passengers es pecially commend the bravery and good Judgment of Captain James Paniels. The passengers, when day broke at :S Sunday morning, looked out upon a dreary !rospt, but were calm and honefuL There was abundance of toon, ami two traveling musicians who were imssencers lifted the spirits of the shipwrecked people by playlnT for them. Lmrkness was falling on tha short Alaska day when at o'clock. It hours after the Olvmpla struck, the Gosern m.nt launch. Lieutenant Ponaldson, and tbe steamer Juno came -In sight. Tha storm had then largely abated and ih. nivmnia was resting uuietly. The rescue boats went to tha lee side of tha steamship and without dimcuity iu l-rson... passengers and 'crew, were taken off, together with the mall, ex press and baxaage. The pasaenxters were conveyed first to Ellamer. where they received every attention possible. The Lieutenant Ponaldson reached Valdes at S o'clock this morning; with the first batch of passengers. The Juno arrived at o'clock with tne crew snd other passengers. The Lieutenant tionaUls.m will bring Judge Cushman and the women and children feom Ella- mar to Valdex.
