SILENT THRONG GREETS
SURVIVORS AT THE DOCK
Sad Sights Witnessed When George W. Elder Arrived
With Many Who Escaped Death at Sea When the
Columbia Went to Bottom of Pacific.
If was no place or time for callous
- ke&rta or shallow mirth down at Mar
j tin's dock when the George W. Elder
"came up the river yMterday afternoon.
i It was time of sorrow, dap and volce
Sleia, and of death-shadowed Joy com
'mingled when a serious, saddened
: throng- waited In silence for news of
the dead or the hoped-for return of
(those who had gone down Into the
. dutch of the deep.
Sle-nt Uauraal One.
It was an Unusual throng; one not
often seen in Portland, the City of
t Rosea. In it were the curious, drawn
' ever a thousand strong, to rejoice with
thoee whose loved ones had returned
to them or to grieve with tboee who
: had no hope. Scattered through it and
banked against the guard ropea at the
' dock's edge were those wboae facee
were kept alight by the certain knowl
edge that their friends and relatives
v were on board the approaching ship. I
Here and there were those whose very
,' souls looked out through grief-reddened
veyes searching the deck for signs of
tniaalng ones, while their tear-choked
j. voices besought officer and crew and
passengers for some faint woad of com
, fort or cheer. Out in the outskirts
where their anguish would be unnoticed
?tood those whose bl&cK garb of mourn
ng told of hope abandoned, who yet
' had come to see others rejoice and per-
t chance to rind some rain I ray or com'
fort
It was a nerlod of tension and nerve-
strain when those who had borne the
horrors of the shipwreck bravely and
without flinching broke down in the
-arms of their loved ones and sobbed
hysterically as though the full awf ul
ness of the thing had Just appealed to
them. It was also a moment when the
, bandaged survivor soothed away with
misty smiles and cheering words the
long-withheld hysteria of waiting
inenas.

Minnie Buxton, Trained Norse, Did

After the first solemn greetlnga were
over there was much subdued Joy at

survivors and their friends and rela

meet the incoming steamer ueorge w,

A large number of the friends of Miss
Minnie Buxton, a trained nurse, whose
home has been Forest Grove, but who is
now of thla city, were at tne aoca to
meet her. She had been returning from
a summer's vacation In California on
the Columbia. It was thought for a
while at first that aha was lost, but later
tidings brought the news that she was
among the rescued.
When every one had expressed their
great gladness for her safe arrival she
said she wanted to go In swimming to
day to show the girls she could swim.
"I tell you when I found myself in
the water I swam to a lifeboat and hung
onto the side until some one pulled me
In," said Miss Buxton. "I did not know
I could swim so well, but I did K Just
the same."
"But how did you get Into the watsrr
some one asked.
"Oh, mat wasn't hard. The hard part
was getting out."
lss Buxton says that ahe never lost
her head once through It all. She was
somewhat scared, but did not become
panlc-srlcken. She did what seemed
best at the moment and when she saw
there waa nothing else to do Jumped Into
