All the records of the T"n!ted States
Court, which had Just concluded Its
sitting at Cordova, were on tha t lym

There Is no wireless station at Val

which the Cordova station received
could not be transmitted to Valdes un
til the opening of the Government cita

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

with Ice nx Inches thick and all the rig

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

Testimony of Attorney Cochran,
counsel for the 'defense in the Jess

the state. Cochran testified that he

that tha road was of gravel and not

Anotlfer development In the trial Is
that a fifth man, named Myers. Is

ranch with a companion the day of the
murder. Myers helped carry Porter to

the Incident than any man living to
