Scarred andrii(wd through encounter with rocks in being ariven before on arwrry sea, in a, provlden tial escape from death. Ki survivors of the wrecked ship Star of Bengal arrived In Seattle tonight from Wranorell. Alaska. The ship, carrying 13S sailors and hands from the Wranirell cannery of the Alaska backers Association, was driven ashore and to pietjes on the pocks of Helm Point, a bold promotory one-half mile from the south end of Coronation Island. 90 miles from Wranirell at an early hour of last Sunday mornlns;. The week Intervening has slightly re moved the marks of the encounter through which the survivors passed in their des--perate eac&pe from drowning or being crushed beneath the crumbling ship or lis floating cargo of canned salmon and metal oil casks. Details of the experience as brought to Seattle accentuate the reports of the affair sent by cable, and proclaim the loss of the Star of Bengal em one of the most tragic incidents that marks the history of shipping on the Pa- rtriu oMHf v Reiterates Cowdlce Charge. Captain Nicholas Wagner, who aer1vvd with his band of scarred survlvora, adds vigorously to charges of cowardice Hud. against Captain F. Karrar, master of the tug Hattle Gage, and P. Hamilton, com manding the tug Kayak. Both towboata are owned and operated by the Alaska Packers' Association, owners of the Star of Bengal and the cargo of salmon that was destroyed in the wreck. Notwithstanding this. Captain Wagner states that had the captains not deserted his craft in an hour of great need, and without the least extenuating circum stances not a single life need have been lust, and In all probability the vessel could have been kept off the rocks and saved. In a statement of the disaster that has b.en prepared for the marine inspectors, before when Captain Wagner will lay charges of cowardice for the purpose of prosecuting Farrar and Hamilton, the statement is given: I attribute the entire loss of life a.nd possibly the ship to the improper and In human conduct of the captains of the tugs Hattie (rage and Kayak. This is to be seen in the length of time the vessel hung to her anchors after being cut loose on a lee shore by the tugs and before striking: to the action of the skippers in abandoning us after seeing our distress signals of blue lights and making no answering signals. These facts an inquiry win reveal. Abandoned Without AVarning. "At a critical Juncture the towing lines were cut. We were abandoned without a word of warning. Discovering our plight I - ordered an anchor over, sails lowered and as soon as possible our second anchor out. The holding ground was good and for a considerable ttme T apprehended that no danger would re sult before the towboats would recover their nerve and come to take us out. Calls for assistance were fruitless, how ever. Subsequent to the wrecking I have learned that the towhoats rolled heavily In the strong wind tnd fearing that their - funnels would roll out both skippers thought the time opportune to save their own lives. "At 7 o'clock A. M. the wind increased to a gale of miles an hour. Still ex pecting aid from the tugs we hoped for rUef until It was apparent that we were dragging anchors, and without help would he driven directly Into a rocky beach that offered no hope of escape for ship or passengers. At this Juncture all hands were ordered to refresh themselves with breakfast. I explained to the crew and- passengers the danger, and invited all to suggest the most apparent method of escape. Without exception the men agreed to abide by my decision in the matter. Volunteers for Paring Deeds. "As every tragedy furnishes its hero, ours came Into existence with a call for volunteers to man a boat to carry a buoy line ashore. Into what seemed certain death Henry Lwald. Olof Hansen and Fred Matson. sailors, and Frank Mu!r. a cannery cook, came forward. The action of the men was of the greatest heroism, and with their safe landing depended the safety of the 134 who remained on the ship. The port lifeboat was lowered with' the greatest difficulty, and by cutting away the falls with axes at an opportune moment the frail vessel was soon driven onto the rocks with speed that no human skill could stay. " "Amonsr our passengers were 74 Chinese. Huddled together, their appearance was pitiable. Not one was willing to make the 1-ast effort at attempting his own rescue, and when life belts were ordered donned but few were able to don thm and tie t.'ie strap lashings. Throughout all the d stress there was not a Jarring word atainst discipline, and particularly atten tive) to orders were the Orientals. The overpom-erlng fear of the Chinese- ac counts for the fact that of 74 aboard but two were saved. Seven Japanese of aboard were ssved. and one of four Fili pino laborers gained the land. Hit Rooks, Goes to Pieces. "In. exactly W minutes from the time the ship struck the ledge she went to pieces and sent ISt people into the waters to battle, for their lives before a forbid ding mass of rocks against which the aJa-dtiven, surf -pounded beach seemed sure death. One Japanese had taken a position in the ringing a few minutes before the breaking up. The swift snap ping of the swaying vessel as she pound ed on the rocks broke his hold and onto the deck he fell, a mass of broken bones and bruised flesh. "In her worst predicament the Star of Bengal proved her construction as sound. The rigging held good throughout and without the pounding on the rocks that shattered the hull, would have withstood any ordinary shock of the gale. "Andrew Olson proved the most for tunate in reaching shore. He was first picked up by the boat's crew that had carried In a line and two Chinese and Pat Loftus. cannery cook, were extri cated from the wreckage. All were help less and exhausted. The death of Olof Peterson was most pathetic. He had succeeded In gaining a hold on a rock ledge and was attracting the attention of the rescuing force to his aid. Before help could be given and without warn inn almost, he was buried beneath i mass of wreckage that wholly hid his body from view. When found later the corpse was dismembered and the mass of bruised nesh was a sickening signi. Bottle of Matches a Godsend. "Practically all of Sunday was spent In natrollng the beach for lnwasnin bodies and with hope of giving aid to some sufferer who might have been over looked. Bv rare good fortune a bottle of matches that had been placed In a trunk by Captain Wagner was recovered from the surf. A Are was started ana from a quantity of ship's stores washed In enough provisions were obtained to nermit the exhausted men to continue at their work of rescue. No shelter, other than bits of canvas picked rrom tra wreckage was offered. This frail shelter was later used to cover the bodies of the SO Orientals whose burial was Impossible owing to the character of the ground that prevented digging graves.

It's our business to see that theclothes wehave to sell are the kind that are the best for you to buy; and having done that, to let you know they're ready. And that's what we are doing here. In choosing the clothes for our cus tomers to wear this Fall, we find nothing to equal the new products of the Stein-Bloch Company and Cam bridge Clothes. No concern making clothes, so far as we know, maintain a higher standard of excellence. Their fabrics are invariably all wool and they handle their materials in the most careful and thorough manner possible. They seem to feel, as we do, a sense of moral responsibility to you, who may wear the clothes, that your confi dence shall not in the slightest par ticular fail of being justified by the results you get. When you see them you will realize that ready-made is really the sane and sensible way to buy clothes and that this is the place. The new suits for Fall are in a great variety of colors and patterns. Browns and greens are prominent features. Coats have high, broad shoulders, long roll lapel, form trac ing and box backs; plain and patch pockets, some with plaits, some with buttoned flaps; with or without cuffs. Trousers vary from extreme peg top, narrowed at the instep, to more conservative lines. We fit anybody, especially men who think they must have made-to-raea-' sure clothes. We make a special fea ture of young men's clothes. SUITS S20.0O TO $45.00 Overcoats A full line of new mod els in many patterns; raincoats, top coats and auto coats, $18 to $40.
