Brings Fifty Five Passengers From

ALL APPARENTLY HAPPY
Stories Told to Aatorlaa Reporter! by
Some of the Victim of the Wreck
Realistic Memories of a Trying Hour
Left for Portland.
The eagerly expected steamer Alliawe
from San Francisco and Kureka, with a
king lifj of tha wrecked St. Paul'
iaenger arrived In yeterday at 2:-K)
oVhsk p. m., and docked at the Cat-U-niler
pier.
She had 171 paenger sltoard, SS of
whom were "-staway" from the St.
Paul. The Alliance had a big manifest
of freight, 40 ton of which she landed
here. Sim left Knrck at 8 o'clock on
Sunday morning lat and made but one
top on the way Up at Mamhfleld, Coo
Hay. Sue had p1eaant weather and a
Kiuooth m- all the way up, and all her
leile were in excellent spirit when
he touched here yestenlay.
Ib'preix-utative of Astorian boarded
here liiUiitly and were Mm in touch
with toe Mtory of the los of the St.
Paul on Point liorda, in the dawning
hour of Thumday lat.
Among thoe interviewed waa Mrs.
Henry Zcirjack, of Fairbank, Iowa, who
with her daughter, Mi Mamw and a
friend Mm Itacliel Fgtvton, was touring
the coat, the party lieing then en route
lo Portland and the fair.
Mn. Zierjack, in speaking of their ex
perience, said in part:
"We three occupied a state room to
gether on what you call the "port"
ide of the St. Paul, and were in our
berth and sou nil asleep at 2:30 o'clock
vu Thursday morning of last week,
when wv were aroused by quick sharp
order from one of the cabin stewards,
to "get up and put on life preservers,
and do it a quickly a you can." We
prang out of our berth jut a the
ldp struck. The jar wa fearful and
threw ii aros the stateroom and be
fore we could recover our balance, the
econd hock threw ii back again, and
by thi time we were thoroughly fright
ened, the oteward re-aeared to see
if hi call had tieen responded to, and
iiusiu cMnmiinile iih to ife life pre-H-rver,
auritig u that "thing would
be all right, but he wa as white a tho
foam on the M-a outride, and depurtcd
leaving our door wide oNn and hooked
to the wall outide to keep it open.
From our room, (we were on the inshore
ide of the vecl) we could ee plainly
the outline of the rocks and the hills
hack of them.'and having regained our
prernc of mind we dreed huridly
and stepied out into the gnng-way to
await further directum for our safety.
The ollicem were cool and careful, but
very determined and stern, and soon
had the whole crowd in giMnl nerve and
clonely atU-ntive to what wa to fol
low, "We could we on the shore a man oi
horseback. To him the captain mega
phoned an order to fly to the nearest
K)int and give the new of our peril
and the man fled up the bills a fast
a hi home could go. The sea was
running high and swift and breaking
heavily on the risk, but, aside from
fog, tho weather wa pleasant enough".
The pounding of the ship was awful.
"Soon after the man disappeared the
officer got out the tackle and appara
tn for nhooting the lino a-diorc and
fired three line liefore one reached the
beach and held. The flmt two burned
dmrt off long liefore they reached the
snore and the third fell just as the
"man on horseback' returned with a
crowd of nearly 50 people and aa many
homes, and In the party were nine wo
men. "Our party left the St. Paul in one
of the life boat at 4 p. m. and went on
board the steamer Vanguard, which had
been summoned to our relief by the flmt
life boat dispatched from our steamed, 11
hour Is? fare and in which 13 people,
crew ami pasaenger were seated. We
found them tn the Vanguard when we
boarded her.
"Tlie St. Paul's officers worked like
beaver all day long and did everything
possible for our comfort and to reas
sure ua in our plight. Gun were fired
incesitantly so long as the fog tated, to
guide any vessel to us that might give
us aid; and the Vanguard was cheered
to the echo when she appeared.
"The flmt life boat out was really
dispatched to Kureka 32 mile away,
and after 0 hours of pulling, sighted
the Vanguard and were taken on board,
and tlie steamer at once began to search
the coast for the St. Paul and found us
after tbre hours of close hunting. The
Vanguard, took all tin passenger she
could carry and left at i o'ekick in the
evening, reaching there at II o'clock at
night. The people of Kureka were kind
new itself and I gues the company
had made arrangements by wire for our
accommodation, for we paid nothing and
got everything, whil there awaiting
the Alliance.
"She arrived late Scturday night and
we txwrded her at once, and left there
at o'clock Sunday mornig. We made
one stop on the way up (Cooa lUy) and
here we are safe ami sound, but minus
our baggage. But we're going to see
the Lewi and Clark fair anyway.
Tlie story told by Mrs. Zierjack was
confirmed by Mm. F.jrle-ton and by Mi
Mamie, a well a by Mr. C. M. McCal

TBAVEL IN AIRSHIPS HEREAFTER
Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Chaperon, accom
panied by their 11 -year-old son, Willie,
were passenger on the St. Paul, and
made the trip from Kureka on the
steamer Alliance. Mr. Chaperon tells
an interesting story of the wreck. For
many yearn her husband had been in
busine in Portland and lasi November
he sold out. Since that time the family
ha traveled about the country quite
extensively and a couple of month ago
the trip to California was made,
"It was the fimt ocean trip for the
little lsiy," said Mrs. Chaperon, "and it
will probably be the last that he will
make, in my company at least. We
hud planned to visit Germany and
France next season, but that trip is
called olf until air ship have been per
fected. "We went ashore at 1 o'clock in the
morning and a moment after we struck
the ro-k the light went out. It wa
then that the excitement commenced
and to my dying day I shall never forget
the confusion that existed during the
15 minutes that we were in darkness.
"The officer of the ship acted prompt
ly and with great coolness and it was
not long until five boat were lowered
from the ship. Many passenger re
mained on board tlie St Paul until day
light in the morning and we were among
the number. We managed to get off in
the morning, but like the other pas
sengers all the clothing we had with us,
except what we were wearing at the
time the ship went ashore, was left be
lt iud.
"Few people on loard the St. Taiil
when she struck the rock expected to
Is? saved and under the circumstances I
think that most of them acted coolly
enough. I was rather surprised at the
way the little boy took things. He did
not seem to realize that there was any
great danger, but he coolly informed u
that he was going to dm a life pre
server and swim ashore. I am very
tluMikful to know that we are getting
home again, even if we did loa every
thing that we had on biaird."
ANDREW ERICES0N DEAD.
Andrew Kikkson, an old resident of
Astoria, died at St. Mary' hospital.

Tlie last seen of bim alive was at 8:30

the little fellow reached Exchange street
