The Recent Wholesale 9f orders.
We ask in all conscience in view of
the recent terrible disaster which caused
the murder of near one hundred and fif
ty precious souls, is it not time that
companies or private individuals Are
held to a strict accountability : for con
tinuing in active service old rotten hulls
that are liable to oio thelxiitam on-tho
least provocation ? Is it not time- that
inspectors ot steamboats and steamships
especially were also held to a strict ac
countability for granting; certificates to
such unseaworthy and rotten vessels as
the late Pacific seems to have been ?
Shall men who seem to be lost to every
other thought but that of putting mon
ey in their purses, be permitted . to go
on murdering their fellowmen by whole
sale without let or hindrance ? Com
pel these rich corporations, to whom
are trusted the lives of our fellow-citi
zens, to be answerable with their lives
and fortunes for their safety, and old
worn out, rotten vessels will not be im
posed upon a long suffering people.
Have we not had enough similar disas
ters to that of tfce Pacific on this coast
to awaken public attention and condem
nation, or must similar outrages be com
mitted for the next centnry and the
lives ot our best citizens betaken rnur.

STATEMENT OF IIEXRY I.. JKI.LEY : ;
My name, is Henry Frederick Jelley.
I am a native of Ireland, but bave lived
for the last nine years in the Dominion
ot Canada, and am of the age of 22 years.
I took cabin passage on board the steam
ship Pacific ot which J. D. Howell was
master, on the morning of Thursday the
4th inst, for a voyage to San Francisco,
Cal., and on the same morning at about
9:15 the steamer left the harbor of Vic
toria, B. C
There were about 500 people on board
more or less and we steamed all that day
against a head wind, blowing from the
southeast fresh. During the day the
crew were constantly pumping water
into the boats to keep the steamship on
an even keel, first on one side and then
oti the other, and she would list to either
side Alternately, as I noticed the boats
ai. aft the paddle-boxes had no oars in
then? on either side, but the forward
boats bed oars in them. Between 8 and
9 o'clock that evening, and while I was
iu the cabin in bed ' I heard a crash and
felt a shock as it we had struck a rock, or
something of the kind, and heard some
thing fall as it a lot oi roexs naa broken
into and fallen in her starboard bow, and
immediately heard the bell strike to
stop her, and then to back her and then
strike to go ahead. I went on deck and
there beard voices forward say, "It is
all right; we have only struck a ves
sel, and looking around I saw several
lights some r!'tance off bri our starboard
beam. I think there were three lights,
but 1 do not think they were colored
lights, but did not pay much attention
to them. I went back into the cabin and i
was about to turn in, when I noticed her
taking a heavy list to port, and then
thought Blic was going down and went
on deck. 1 heard some one say slie is
making water very last forward. ; Went
forward to the pilot-house, aud there
beard the purser asK the captain what
boat he would take charge of ; did not
hear JUie answer. 1 asked the captain
if ' there were no blue lights or a gun.
He told me I would find blue light in
the pilot-house. vi The captain was at
that tune eomiug out of bis own room.
and did not see him after that. I then,
with another man, whom I did not know
"went iuto the pilothouse, found six blue
lights, and S3t five ot them off ; lost the
other one. 1 then noticed that the en
gines were still working, but no one was
at the wheel. I then went on deck to
the starboard side, forward the paddle
box, where a number of men were try
ing to get the long boat out, but they
could not do it. I then went to see
about the pert boat forward, and helped
five or six Ladies into it, and tried to get
the boat off, but we could not budge the
boat. There were about twenty ladies
iu that boat. I there heard it said that
the two boats abaft the wheels had got
ten off but did not see them. 1 be boat
I -was near was partly f nil of water and
we could not get her off at all. ' I think
it was about an hoar from the time the
steamer struck up to the time when she
listed to port, so much ' that the port
boat was let iuto the water and cut loose
from the davits, f l was in this boat
which when it touched the water begau
to fill and turned over. I crawled upon
the bottom of the boat and helped sev
eral others up with me. Immediately
alter toe steamer , seemed to break n
two fore and aft, and one half tlie mioke
stack tell to port, and the smoke stack
struck our boat and pushed it away,
and the steamsbipitfk; sunk. . I think
about all the ladies were in our boat
and when she upset they all fell into the
water and I tear they were drowned,
rhis was about 10 iri the evening. The
night was i otdark, nor was the sea very
rough, but there was a fresh breeze. I
afterwards left the bottom of our boat,
and, with another man, climbed on the
top of the pilot house, which was float
ing near, and we held on the upper wire
that came out of the top. Next morn
ing I got some life preservers floating
near the house, and, with their ropes,
lashed myself and my comrade on to the
house. I saw three rafts. The first
one bad olie man on ; the next had three
men and a woman, and the other I
could not make out for the distance, ex
cept that there were human beings on
it.
I think we were thirty or forty miles
south of the Cape when the vessel sunk.
We passed the light on Tatoosh Island
between four and five o'clock on the
evening of the 4th. I and my comrade
were on the top of the pilot housa all
of the 5th, until about 4 o'clock p. m.,
wdeu he died. I then cut him loose.
The sea was running very high ail day,
aud I think my comrade was drowned
by the waves washing over him, lie not
being strong enough to hold his head
up aud the waves constantly washing
over us. Soon after ho died I sighted
a vessel and called and also heard the
people on the other rafts calling. I did
not see the other rafts after that and
that vessel did not come near me. I
spent Friday night on my raft. There
was little wind until 'morning when it
came on to blow again, and the sea be
came very rough. I was then within
a mile from the Vancouver shore. I
sighted two vessels on the Washington
shore, that passed on, aud about 10
o'clock a. m. on the 6tb, (Saturday)
saw a vessel bearing down on me. I
was very weak by that time, but waiv
ed my hat and the vessel sent a boat
and took me tip. The vessel's name,
I learn, is the Messenger, and the cap
tain, whose name is J. F. Gilkey; gave
me every attention and kindness possi
ble, and did everything in his power to
relive my wants.
HENRY F. JELLEY.
The Pacific was a wooden side wheel
steamer, of about 900 tons, built in 1851
by W. II. Brown, ot New York. She
was nearly rebuilt here by the Pacific
Mail Company two years ago. She was
docked and surveyed the trip' before the
last and given a certificate "A 2." Her
value was about $100,000. Her cargo
was hops and oats, worth about $25,000.
Insurance on the ship is $47,500, divided
nearjl equally amongst Fireman's
Fund Union, State Investment, Com
mercial, Swiss Loyds and New Orleans
Mutual companies. Capt. Howell had
the reputation of an efficient officer.
The ship's complement was as follows:
Master, J. D. Howell; first officer, A. N.
McDonongh ; second, A. Wells; third,
J. M. Lewis ; purser, O. like, jr., freight
clerk, S. H. Bigeley ; chief engineer, T.
Houston ; assistant, D. M. Bassett ; oil
ers, T. Lestrangeand J.Dngan carpen
ter, R. Erickson ; watchman, Henry
Norris ; steward, J. Martin ; second
steward Chas. II. Jackson ; steerage
steward, S. McNichol ; first cook, J. M.
"Hollinsworth ; second cook, S. Miles;
third cook, C. H. W biting ; baker, 1 hos.
Mnlloy ; porter, Robert T. McNemaine ;
stewardess, Hannah Mnir. There were
also five fireman, four coal passers, ten
seamen, two messmen, two pantry men
and eight waiters. 1 "
In the absence of further particulars,
Capt. Go'.dall, of Goodall, Nelson &
Perkins, owners, and many seafaring
men, believe the ship met a heavy south
easter, which may be expected there at
this season. The Pacific was one ot the
best sea boats' on the coast. It is be
lieved that the survivor picked np may
be in error as to the fate of other boats,
as the steamer was provided with extra
large and safe lite boats.
LATER.
A Port Townsend dispatch of the
10th, has additional particulars. The
steamer Goliah which had just arriv'od
at that port, reported saving of another
man by the revenue cutter Wolcott?
Capt. Harwood, wliQ was the quarter
master. He was found at 3 o'clock on
Monday morning, S3 miles iuside the
Cape, on the paddle-boxes and upper
deck of the Pacific, which at one time
formed the raft on which Mr. Jelley
was floating, having been in the water
80 hours. Ten men and one woman
were on this raft at one time the quar
termaster only survives. The woman
was washed overboard, and the chief
engineer and first officer jumped after
I save her; and all were lost. Captain
Howey was on this rait, and only gave
out Sunday morning, being at the time
the only survivor, except this quarter
master. When the cutter approached
the raft the only survivor, the quarter
master, was discovered asleep in a box
on the raft. The Pacific positively col
lided with a vessel which struck her
amidships and broke her in two. ' Hie
steamer California passed in plain sight
ot the raft, while several were surviv
ing. " Other vessels also passed in their
vicinity. The two boats did get away
from the wreck. The Wolcott also re
covered one or two dead bodies.
TheGussie Telfair reports seeing a
vessel in distress outside the Cape, which
was undoubtedly the vessel that collid
ed, with the Pacific. She also recovered
flima dead bodies. i
It is now leported that there were

More Teasels Lost.
The steamer City of Waco, was burnd
outside of Galveston bar on the 8th, and
it is believed all on doard were lost.
Her crew and officers numbered 30 men
and she carried .20 "passengers. She
was an iron-screw ship, and was valued
at $250,000, and had on board a cargo
valued at $100,000.
Fredrick Hoffman and three sailors
of the brig Helen G. Rich, lost Sept.
25th, on Damas Bay, off the coast of
Cuba, have arrived in New York.
Hoffman states that on the sixth day
after the Mich went ashore he observed
poles standing out from the rocks on the
Key's two miles away, aiid with some
of the sailors, rowed to the spot and
discovered the hull of an iron vessel
near!" submerged near their lauding
place. In a rough, circular structure,
built of stones, they found two unrecog
nizable, decomposed bodies of seamen ;
in another a third body was found, and
on the opposite side of the principal
hut was found a third shelter, iu which
was found still another body, in a re
cumbent position, resting against the
wall. There was no food found, and it
was evident the men had died Irom
starvation.
It is believed that the brigs J. W.
Spencer and Torento, and the schooners
Moses Patton, Nettie Chase and Sereue
were lost, with all ou board, during
the terrible hurricane which recently
caused so much damage at Jackmel,
Jamaica aud St. Iago.
Care killed a cat, says an old raw.
Yes, and so did the bite of a cat kill a
lad named Kare a few weeks ago in an
English town. lie had undertaken to
drown the cat for a penny, and in the
act the animal gave him the bite which
in a short time proved fatal. Tlie doc
tors pronounced it hydrophobia, and the
jury's verdict was "accidental death."
Hydrophobia is, therefore, in that place
accidental. The people there ought to
beware of accidents and of cats.
