Captain Lofstcdt contined his story: "When the wheel went
faulty I called from thebridge for full speed astern. It was too
late then. A moment later and we struck on the South Spit.
We bumped once or twice and the seas, which were fairly
large then, seemed to carry us entirely over the spit and into
deep water again when the vessel swung clear for a time.
AFRAID TO LOWER ANCHOR
"I was afraid to lower by anchors there. Not a bit of chance
of getting the ship out, and I thought if she was going to be a
total wreck the best way would be to let her drift as far inshore
as possible to give the people a better chance of getting saved"
CAPTAIN OLSON APPROVED
Captain Olson, of the Adeline, told him: "Captain, you did
exactly right. We were watching you and knew that the low
ering of the anchors would not have been for the best. You did
exactly right all the way through ,and I want to commend you"

night watchman. Ho reported over ythlng nil right on board, though
said tho ship had filled with wntcr and wns going to pieces In places.
Captain Olson, of the Adoltuo, had early conio to tho point with two
seamen from his ship loft lying In tho lower bay. Shu wns ready to
go out when tho Santa Clara wont n shore
"It'o all all ovor with now," declared Captain Lofstcdt. "Lot mo cot

Captain Showed Great Feeling
Through it nil tho sklppor hold hit. norvo until tho vary linit when his
pent up feollngs ovorciimo him for a few moments on tho bunch. Evory
one of tho officers, tho sailors and the paBsougors had only praise for

The two wlrolcBS oporntora stayed
bravely by tholr posts on tho Santa
Clara. Thoy are Claudo E. Good
win nnd H. L. Reimors. Tho latter
was making n spcclnl trip. Tho two
took turns on tho vessel In differ
ent shifts.
Itolmors was on duty when tho
vesso't first struck. Ho called Good
win nnd wont down to see nbout tho
power for his wireless. Tho en
glnoor told him that tho power
was on. Then tho two operated.
Sends tho S. O. 8. Call.
First a mossago wns sont tolling
what had happoncd nnd whon tho
captain gavo ordors, tho S. 0. S.
call was sont out. It wns received
by Oporntor Williamson nt tho Coos
Bay Rtatlon. The operators on tho
Santa Clara say that thoy sont to
everybody thoy could reacli tho gon
oral distress call. It was also re
ceived by tho Capo Blanco station.
Mr. Rolmors said that It was hair
or throo quartors ot an hour after
tho vcsaol first struck that sho was
carried Inward and south to a point
opposlto twhero tho Marconi wns
wrecked.
Hour of Striking.
Ho looked nt hts watch and It
was 4:35 p. m. when tho vessel
first struck tho 'south spit. Tho
operators continued at tholr posts
until tho cnptnln ordorod thorn to
lenvo and savo themselves. They
then got Into a llfo boat with others.
Evoryono was leaving tho Blilp and
thoy could bo ot no further service,
thoro and it wns useless for thorn
to romnln. Thoy said that had thoro
boon pooplo nboard thoy would not
havo loft ns thoy probably could
havo had power to work tho wireless
for a llttlo while longer.
Word Sent Around
It wns nftor this that tho captain
nnd others got back on the Bantu
CI urn. When tho distress mcssago
wns picked up nt tho Coos Bay sta
tion It was Immediately commun
icated so that asslBtnnco from Bhqro
could bo glvon.
The d rod go Mlchlo went down the.
-bay from Emplro, but could not do
nny good ns tho Santa Clara had
boon carried In too far and the
drodgo could not reach her to glvo

Thinks Bottom Out.
Mr. Rolmors sayB that tho vessel
pounded frightfully nnd that he
thinks hor bottom wns soon torn
out, as ho snw big ploces of timber
coming up nnd flouting away nnd
thnt thoy imiBt havo bcou torn uway
from tho bottom of tho boat. Ha
was further convinced In this opin

out ot tho bottom of the boat.
Good Work lloro.
