Quartermaster of the Tanker Buck Risks Life to Save Victim. INSPECTORS GIVE PRAISE Masters of els That Jtushed to Ketone of r rands K. T-egg ett e eeive Setters of Commendation. Standing out as a brilliant feature ta- the tragedy which seat the Amer ican steamer Francis H. Leggett to the bottom with 72 people, is the he roisrn and seamanship thown to be crew of the Associated Oil company's tanker F. H. Buck. So strongly did the work of the crew of the Buck and the Beaver ap peal to men used to the dangers of the sea that letters of commendation were sent this morning; to Captain O. B. MacDonald of the Buck and Captain E. W. Mason of the Beaver by United States Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers E. S. Edwards and George SY Fuller. The inspectors ordered the masters to read the letters to the crews of their steamers that they might know that their efforts were appreciated. Quartermaster Eric Esklldsen of the Buck, who dove into the water from the deck of the Buck to rescue George Poelman, the first man to' be saved. made the leap clad In his oil skins. After the cry of Poelman had been beard by the third officer, and the steamer had been returned to the place there was no chance to launch a boat. -Realizing this, Esklldsen called for some one to hold a life line, and, attaching it to himself, he made the leap for Poelman and brought bun aafely on board. Further heroism was shown by First Officer Sawyer and six members of the crw of the Buck when they launched the lifeboat to search through the wreckage, and who succeeded in finding Alex Farrell, the survivor brought to port on the Beaver. Cap tain Mason of the Beaver spoke highly of the work of the boat's crew Sat urday night, and Captain MacDonald could say nothing too good for them this morning. "Sawyer was formerly on board the pilot's launch from San Francisco bay, and when I called for volunteers to man the boat, I picked him from the many who responded as best fitted to handle the small boat" said the mas ter of the tanker. "The seas were terrific, but they succeeded in getting the boat away, and with steady, pow erful stroke A, pulled out through the wreckage. The crew work was per fect, and I am certainly proud of the men today." The United States steamboat inspec tors this morning, took the testimony of Captain Mason and MacDonald, and will this afternoon take testimony from Alex Farrell and George Poel man, the survivors.
