OUT AS FEATURE IN
TRAGEDY OF THE SEA

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.

Much talk of the Panama-Pacific

Bank road. Mr. Gilman returned yes
terday from St, Paul, where he con

will see a large number of -visitors
passing through here from the east.
To that end we are hurrying the work

that the first vessel will start on its
trips not later than March 1 and prob
ably earlier.
"The other vessel will be about a
month behind the first, and sailings
on alternate days will then be the
rule."
Mr. Gilman said nothing new had
developed at his conferences with the
eastern magnates, the sole object o
bis visit being to clear up problems
already pending.
