SANTA CLARA ON
ROCKS WITH
ADELINE SMITH REPORT THAT
SANTA CLARA IS FAST ON ROCKS
The Santa Clara's wireless .apparatus went out of commis
sion about 5 o'clock, indicating that she had struck the rooks
and was taking water and her engine room was flooded.
The last wireless message from the Adeline Smith said the
Santa Clara was hopelessly on the rocks.
The life-saving crew and the gasoline schooner May were
making for the scene at the last report.
POSITION OF PASSENGER SHIP IS VERY '
DANGEROUS WITH ROUGH SEAS THREATENING
The Santa Clara, bound from Portland to Coos Bay, ran In
on the South Spit, near Mussel Reef, about 4:30 this after
noon. - i
The bar was very rough at the time and what swung her
out of the course could not be determined by Captain Dunson
from the lighthouse.
About 5 o'clock Captain Dunson said that Capt. Lofstcd was
making a turn and if the seas subsided a few moments might
be able to make his way out to safety.
Apparently the pumps were being worked, indicating that
the Santa Clara had been damaged.
The Adeline Smith, which was about to put out, was laying
iust inside the bay, Captain Olson preparing to render every
assistance possible.
By making the turn, Capt. Lofstcd might be able lo avail,
himself of the inside channel, Captain Dunson said. .
MANY Alt I- HIIVIVIID
Mr. I'Moyd. driver on the Ocean llouclt Auto lino, roportod from South
Inlet nt eight twenty that six aro dea d, tour had boon resuscitated nnd
four wero unconscious at the Mussel Reef Cabin.
Ho said that tho members of tho crow saved estimated about twenty
the woro missing. '
About tweuty-rivo aro bolng cm rod for at thu Muasol licet cabin.
Thu Santa Clara, us near as could be Judged, was in on tho South Spit
JiiBt about directly oppoalte where, tlio Claromont struck on tho sunken
Jotty and waa wrookud a row monthango.
S. O. S. cnllu woro Hout out by Cup t Lomotil as Boon aa tho Santa
Clara uonrod tho dangor lino.
Owing to tho Adeline Smith bQlug heavily loadod with lumber, It will
be difficult for Capt. Olson to render tho nsulataucu that ho might other
wise havo glvon tho Santa Clara.
The bar dredgo Mlohlu left Kinplro at tun nilnutou to five and will pos
sibly be able to work In close enough to got a lino to tho Santa Clara.
Tho Santa Clara la not far distant from whoro tho Marconi, tho Strap
sou Liimbor Company'ii schooner wo nt ashore a fow yearn ago and was 1
ost after Capt. Olson, of thu Adeline- Smith, had removed moat' ot the
crow by moans or a brooches buoy.
