Captain's Record Enviable.
Captain Harry Hobey, master of the
Alaska, has a long and creditable rec
ord as mate and captain in the serv
ice of the Alaska Steamship com
pany, owners of the steamer Alaska.
His experience had been more in the
Alaska trade than in coastwise onwa
tions. To his1 fellow mariners of the
northern run, he was punnlngly and
affectionately known as the "hobo
captain, principally because of a
stormy vocabulary.
Among the vessels he has com
manded are the steamer Cordova and
Valdez, of the Alaska Steamship com
pany. His last command before tak
ing over the Alaska was the steamer
Northwestern, now commanded bv
Captain J. G. Nord, who was master
of the Alaska until a few weeks euro.
Captain Hobey's residence is in Ta
coma. Callfas 'Widely Known.
J. M. Callfas, chief engineer of the
Alaska, is one of the most widely
known steamship men in the Pacific
northwest. He was born and reared
In New York, and had made his home
during recent years in Seattle, where
his wife died in 1916.
According to friends in this city,
Mr. Callfas was chief engineer of the
steamer Buckman when that vessel
was boarded by pirates off Cape
Blanco in 1910. He received a gold
medal for bravery in this exploit by
the Pacific Coast Steamship company.
During the fracas, VEnglneer Callfas
overpowered the leader of the board
ing party who had shot and killed
Captain Ben Wood of the Buckman.
The pirate leader later died in
prison in San Francisco. Callfas
was also chief engineer of the steamer
Mariposa when that vessel sank with
out loss of life in southeastern Alaska
waters in 1907. He has been asso
ciated with Pacific coast and Alaska
shipping since 1906. He brought the
steamer Admiral Farragut around
from the Atlantic coast in 1914, and
during 1917 and 1918 was connected
with the northwestern district head
quarters of the shipping board at Se
attle. He has a host of friends in
Portland, among whom are Mr. and
Mrs. C. E. Palmer, St. Clair apart
ments, and Mrs. J. F. Wood.
Dousrlas Martin Lives Here.
William E. McCHntock, chief officer
of the Alaska, made his home in Ala
meda, Cal. As far as could be learned,
he has no relatives or close friends
kere.
Douglas Jvtartln, second assistant
engineer, lives at 5627 Eighty-seventh
street Southeast, Portland. He has
served In the same capacity on several
hipping board steamers, and In the
privately-owned fleet of the North
west Fisheries company, operating be
tween Seattle and Alaska. He had
been a shipmate of Captain Hobey on
several vessels. Martin is unmarried.
Stanley Carlson, third assistant en
gineer, lives at 189 North Twenty
third street. His mother and father
are in Seattle.
E. E. Morgan, purser, was among
the first to report his safe arrival at
Eureka, when he wired his wife at
Seattle.
Leo Kroll, quartermaster, makes his
home at 1054 Grand avenue 'orth.
He is a brother of Mrs. F. E. Maley.
Kroll was making his second voyage
on the Alaska.
Solomon Well, a waiter. Is a student
at the University of Oregon medical
school. He was making his second
trip on the Alaska. He lives at the
Royal Arms apartments.
Triad Robinson. 17 -year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Thad Hobinson, 864
Colonial avenue, was chief quarter
master on the Alaska, according to
his father. This was Robison's
fourth trip, he having been on the
ship a little over a month. The lad
is a student at Benson Polytechnic
school, although he had not attended
school for the past year. He took a'
trip to China. last winter on the Aber
cos, leaving Portland In December
and returning in March. He took the
position on the Alaska this summer.
Robinson attended the Tillamook
high school where the family lived
for five years. They have resided in
Portland for the past two years. In
addition to a mother and father, Rob
inson has a sister, Marian, 16 years
of age, residing with the family here.

member of the crew of the Alaska,
was making his second trip down on
the boat. Anderson Intended to leave
the crew at San Francisco and go to
Berkeley to resume his studies at the
University of California, where he

dentistry. Anderson's home was in
San. Diego, -Cal., although he and his
mother and two sisters have been
living in Portland temporarily, resid
ing at the Eldorado apartments, 271
East Sixth street North.
Anderson formerly attended the
North Pacific Dental college here for
two years, entering in the fall of

ROAD WORK WELL ALONG
HIGHWAYS IX TILLAMOOK TO
BE FINISHED SOOX.
County Court (Expects to Complete
Greater Part of Improvements
"Within 3 0 Days.
TILLAMOOK, Or., Aug. 7. (Spe
cial.) Within the next 30 days the
Tillamook county court expects to
have most of the road work com
pleted, as far as placing rock and
gravel on the roads is concerned.
The main highway through .the coun
ty, from Hebo to the Miami bridge,
has been more or less in a most un
satisfactory condition .the past few
years, because a number of new
grades and new roads have been un
der construction. This applied to
the roads that -are being hard-surfaced'
also.
A large amount of money has been
expended, especially in the building
of thenew road and the bridge that
crosses the Nestucca river south of
Hebo, the Moore cut-off. the con
crete and steel bridge across the
Kilchls river, and the new roads
north and south of Bay City.
All of this work is now nearing
completion, with the exception of the
bridge and new road this aide of
Hebo, which will probably take 60
days to complete. Should the weather
remain dry that length of time, it
Is hoped to have the work completed
so that the road and bridge can be
used this coming winter. As soon
as wet weather sets in the road
rolle-rs will be put to work on the
roads that have been rocked and
graveled.

EUREKA, Cal., Aug. 7. (Staff Cor
respondence. San Francisco Chron
icle.) Twelve known dead by drown
ing, a total which will undoubtedly
be added to as official checks' are
completed, was the toll of lives taken
by the seas of Cape Mendocino Satur
day night when the steamship Alaska,
Portland for San Francisco, struck
Blunt's reef and eank to her mast
heads. Thirty-two passengers and
four members of the . crew are still
unaccounted for. Although It was
not confirmed, it was believed that
Captain Hobey went down with his
ship. Tonight Eureka is doing what
it can to care for the rescued 1K1
tpassengers and 70 of the crew, who,
lrv tattered and makeshift attire ana
soaked! with oil from the lost vessel,
were brought here this afternoon by
the Bteamer Anyox. All ambulances
and many automobiles met the weary
and nerve-racked survivors, and un
der the supervision of the Red Cross
they were taken to hospitals and
hotels.
Many of them. Including children
in arms, were badly bruised and bat
tered. 12 Bodies Picked Vp.
This afternoon Captain Ellison of
the coast guard had returned to
Eureka after a search of the sea
around the scene of the wreck. In
his motor lifeboat when he arrived
In Eureka were the bodies of 12 men
bodies that couldl not be recognized
because of the coating of crude oil
which enveloped them from head to
foot. Acts of heroaim, which will add
luster to the reputation ot the Amer
ican merchant marine, were frequent
during the work of rescuing men,
women and children.
There is, ' however, another and
darker side of the picture. Not from
one passenger alone, but from scores,
came word that rank inefficiency
characterized the handling of the
lifeboats. Indeed, most of the loss
of life was due to accidents in launch
ing the lifeboats on the port side of
the Alaska.
John R. Clark of Escalon, Cal
who was in one of the- starboard
boats which were so successfully
launched that none of its occupants
was even wetted; said this morning
that he saw two of the port boats
dump their living ' freight Into the
sea.
Two Boats Lost.
On one of these the forward falls
were let go too soon, with the result
that the occupants were simply
slipped forward Into the sea, the life
boat remaining hanging perpendicu
larly suspended from its stern by
the arter falls. The other boat, said
Clark, did not reach the water, but
hung tiKhtly against the steep slop
ins side of the vessel until a heavy
sea lifted it, dashed it- against the
vessel's side and turned it com
pletely over. A number of its pas
sengers were caught between the
side of the lifeboat and the .ship's
side and crushed.
Norbert Van Wetter, storekeeper
on the Alaska, was among those who
openly criticised the lack of disci
pline on the steamship. There was,
he averred, no system to handle the
lifeboats, nor did anyone appear to
take charge of the launching of the
boats when the frightened crew
rushed madly for the seats. He said:
Ca-ptnln In Wneelhonae.
"Second Officer Rupray was at. the
wheel and Captain Hobey was In the
wheelhouse at - the time we ran
aground. The captain .heard a warn
ing through the fog, which after
ward proved to be the lightship, and
he sent Dupray out to locate it. The
second officer obeyed the order, but
came back with the report that he
could not detect Its direction. Right
after this the ship struck for the
first time, and certainly not more
than five minutes later she naa a
heavy list to starboard.
"Naturally my first thoughts were
for the passengers, and tfie lifeboats.
I made for the lifeboats, only to find
that no one was In charge. Finally j
four of the crew pulled No. 3 life
boat out first, loaded to capacity.
But the delay in launching the boats
increased the fears of the passen
gers, many of whom were clinging to
the rail of the badly listing ship.
That two of the lifeboats overturned
is probably due to this lack of proper
management."
Inefficiency Is Charged.
No loss of life or at least an in
significant loss would have at
tended the wrecking of the Alaska
had an efficient crew been aboard,
according to charges made by othei
passengers, as well as by member!
of the crew.
According to Fred Helmer. boat
swain's mate, there were but six cer
tificate men on board as members of
the crew. Thi-s statement, however,
was disputed by First Officer Mc
Clintock of Alameda, who declared
that ten certified lifeboat men were
on board out of a deck crew of 14
seamen and four mates.
I know how Captain Hobey died."
declared J. H. Moss, passenger. "I
and C. L. Vilin of Chicago were
standing beside him when the boat
went down. That was the last we
saw of Captain Hobey, but we are
certain that he was drowned."
No Soundings Taken.
Caotain Hobey was on the bridge
of the Alaska when she struck, ac
cording to officers and members of
the crew. However, no soundings
were taken prjor to the crash, ac
cording to E. D. Dupray, second of
ficer, who was on watch at the time.
At 8:26 P. M. the course nan been
hauled out two and one-half points.
according to First Officer McClin
tock, and this was regarded as suffi
cient to carry the boat by the Blunts
reef lltrhtship.
Of all the personal experiences oi
the Alaska's passengers, which to
gefcher make a remarkably vivid
chapter in human Interest, none was
more harrowing than that of Mrs.
Claflin Wright of Upper Montciair,
N. J., and Miss Frances Eckstrom of
Minneapolis, members of a party of
tourists. The two women were
brought to Eureka on the barge
Henry "Villard. which the Anyox had
in tow at the time she went to the
rescue of the Alaska.
Woman Donates Waist.
"The reason I have no waist on and
am unconventionally attired in a
man's hat, a skirt and one shoe," ex
plained the plucky -Mrs. Wright. "Is
that in our lifeboat the rowers found
that the oar handles were so slippery
with oil they could make no head
i way. So I lore oft my silk waist and
used It to rub off the oil from oar
handles." r
In describing the suddenness of the
Alaska's crash and the subsequent
excitement, Mrs. Wright said:
"The members of our party were
dancing on the hurricane deck In a
small saloon, when we were, without
warning, thrown against one wall by
me rirst crash. This was soon fol
lowed by the second crash. While we
were naturally scared. I don't believe
any of us were in any sense panlc-
sincaen. we went out on aecK ana
decided to wait for orders, but orders
were slow in coming.
"I wish I could tell you the name
of the Irishman, who, when some
women began to be hysterical, sang
out cheerily, 'Don't be scared, folks.
We re all going to have ham and
eggs in about an hour.'
"This was typical of the coolness of
the party.
List Begins Quickly.
"But when the boat struck the sec
ond time she began to list badly, and
many or tne passengers were literally
clinging to the rail, so sharp was the
angle. Then, too, the lifeboats did
not command confidence.
"We two were In lifeboat No. 2. and
It capsized, throwing us all Into the
water. But fortunately we- were
picked up by another boat and were
headed for the lightship when the
Anyox and her tow hove In sight. The
Villard swung round in the trough
of the sea so dangerously that Miss
Eckstrom and myself were told by a
man to call out to those on deck for
neip. Members of the crew pulled us
on board, and this accounts for the
fact that we were brought to Eureka
on the Villard, "while the balance of
the rescued came on the Anyox."
Four-year-old Girl Saved.
The story of 4-year-old Betty Jean
Sanders of Garfield, Wash., was
equally dramatic. She did not seem
to realize what had happened, and
that she was alone among strangers
here, for""Granny" who was her com
panion on the ill-fated voyage. was
with her ho longer. Probably she
aoesn-t realize that to "Granny" Is
due the fact that she Is still among
the living, for the last acts of the
grandmother were fastening the life
preserver about little Betty's body
ana men carry her to the lifeboat and
got In with her. The boat upset and
grandmother was among the missing.
Grandmother was Mrs. Averill of
Garfield, Wash., who was taking
Betty to her parents in Los Anaeles.
Betty does not know their address,
except mat tney live In Los Angeles.
Swathed in a big life preserver, se
curely fastened about her little body.
tsetty was picked up by the United
States coast guard crew near the
wreck at daylight this morning after
having floated about the oil-covered
sea ror at least seven hours. The
child was numb with the cold and
almost dead when the lifesavers
dragged her Into their boat. It need
ed care to preserve the little life, so
the lifesavers In the power boat sped
over to the Anyox and gave the' child
Into the care of some of the rescued
ZOIKS.
Child Recovers Quickly. .
That the efforts of the eftiid's fi-
low-castaways were successful, was
evident from the appearance of Betty
on the deck of the Anyox as the ves
sel was coming up the bay. Her wet
ana ou-soaKea clothing had been re
ana . sne was wrapped in a
ship's blanket and being coddled and
petted by everyone. Except for a
frightened look In her pretty blue
eyes and her oil-matted hair. Baby
Sanders did not Bhow any effects of
her terrible experience.
With the baby girl in one boat, the
nusoana in another, and the wf in a
third, all with terror gripping at their
hearts, Mr. and' Mrs. Harold Scheave
and their child of Wallace, Idaho, sur
vived the Alaska wreck. But the
shadow of death that threatened
spared the three, and today on the
aec or me Anyox. Scheave sat hug
ging his baby girl, while Mrs. Si-hpivA
her voice choked with sobs, told of the
thankfulness that was in her heart-
Mother Tells Story.
"They were terrible hours. I thoue-ht
that all was lost, and then when the
boats from the Anyox gathered them
In, my baby, and husband,' were there
Oh, you cannot tell how I felt. And
now-much I love my baby."
Mrs. Scheave'a voice broke down
she could say no more.
One of the injured passengers was
Mrs. M. J. Albert of Portland, wife of
the fourth officer of the Alaska. She
was brought on the Anyox and taken
to a hospital here. She has a broken
collarbone and was believed to have
been internally Injured by the side of
the lifeboat. which crushed her
against the ship's side, striking her
across tne arsaomen.
L. J. Griffith, water tender, who
was in what is known as the captain's
lifeboat, said that he witnessed the
latter accident, and that many of the
ocStlpants in the boat must have been
killed outright. In his boat ha as
sisted In picking up three women and
in cruising about looking for other
survivors of the accident he said he
saw a number of bodies floating
aDout.
W. H Dyer of La Grande. Or., is
among those seriously hurt. He was
brought to port by the Anyox on an
Improvised mattress of life preservers.
He is so bruised as to be unable to
use his limbs. .
BRUNEI! SEARCH ENDS
DEPUTY SHERIFFS TO EETTRX
TO ROSEBCRG. -
Men "Who Held Up Mazama Party
Captured, but Neither Proves
to Be- Dentist.
ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 7. (Special.)
Rrank Hopkins, deputy sheriff, and
Joe Murphy, who have been conduct
ing an extensive search through east
ern Oregon,, are returning to Rose-
burg, having abandoned all hope of
picking up the trail of Dr. R. M.
Brumfield, the fugitive dentist, in that
section of the state.
Sheriff Starmer was in telephone
communication with Deputy Hopkins
for a few minutes today and was In
formed that the highwaymen who had
held up the Mazama party near Beaver
swamp had been captured, but that
neither of the men was Brumfield.
The officer said he had carefully gone
over all of the country where the doc
tor was reported to have been seen
and, although he found plenty of evi
dence to cause him to believe the
wanted man is hiding some place in
that part of the state, he said he was
unable to discover the hiding place.
According to the message, which
was relayed with great difficulty over
the government telephone line, the
deputies will arrive here today.

In the party was Mrs. George Max
well, whose husband did not make the
steep grade.
The swimming party was an ex
clusive affair yesterday, only those
who were In the swim attending.
The bonfire last night, was a big
success, as a self-elected clique which
previously had broken Mazama tradi
tions by holding separate campfires.
Joined the old substantial crowd.
The following verse sung, to the
tune of "School Days" from a song
w-ritten by Miss Laura Peterson, a
Portland high school French teacher,
gives the tenor of the gatherings:.
"Camp days, camp days, dear old Mazama
camp aays,
Swimming and rowing- and all such stunts.
Done by the fat and the lean and the
runts;
Tou were my queen In a bathln? suit,
I was your beau so clean and cute.
Way up by the lake I loved you so.
When we were a couple of fish."
Dr. "W. C. Adams Is the master of
