BY FIRE TO
SANTA CATALINA MAY
Inspection of Engine Room
Leads to Increase in the
Estimate! 1
CRAFT TOiGO ON DRYDOCK
Kola et Orace XJner Has Been Cleared
of Cargo and Debris Will How.
Bo BimoTtil.
The s-ml-of f ictal announcement in
creases the estimated damage to the
American steamer Santa Catalina to
$360,000. I,aat weik the estimate was
placed at $300,000 as a result of the
fire. After opening up the engine
room of the it-amer it is believed
that that part of thershlp Is damaged
more than watt first, thpught, hence
the increase Jin the final figures.'
Workmen completed the cargo dis
charging yesterday and at 4 o'clock
the wun moved from the Municipal
dock to the dock of the Oregon Dry- j
qwk qoniyaii, w uere wuriiiueu win
continue today to pump out the refuse
oil from the hold. Tomorrow she will ,
be towed to the Municipal drydock to
be raised from the water and her hull
examined to ascertain whether either
the fire or the grounding damaged her
bottom. r
A thorough examination of the en
gine room disclosed some peculiar
conditions. On the starboard side the
machinery Is badly warped and bent.
. On the port side the heat did not even
break the glass in the water guages.
On boiler was found to be In excel
lent condition, water still remaining
In It. The other three were ruined. ,
Just how much work will have to
be done in the engine room has not
been definitely decided, however, and
cannot be till United States Inspectors
of Hulls and Boilers Edwards and
Fuller have Inspected the steamer.
They will make this inspection Mon
day at the drydock. The moving
parts will then have been rubbed down
and cleaned and the final figures will
be made.
Handling the Santa Catalina, the
largest' marine insurance Job, encoun
tered on the Pacific Coast In several
years, Portland merchants have made
an enviable record, according to
Charles H. Williamson,, president of
Wllicox, Peck A Hughes, Insurance! ad
justers. .
"In all my experience as an adjuster
I have never met a set of more fair
minded men than the merchants in
Portland with whom I have had to
deal," declared Mr. Williamson last
night. "My work has been shortened
Just two weeks through their willing
ness to help and to meet us half way.
v hen I first reached the city I was
assured by all of them that they
meant to help in every way they couid
and they certainly have lived up to
their promises. Here it is three weeks
after the fire and practically every
claim is adjusted.
"Your longshoremen have also shown
a disposition to help. Although the
Job of clearing the hold was a nasty
one the longshoremen gave me a very
reasonable figure and have 'done ex
ceilent work..
"I must also add a word In praise
of Captain Johnson and the crew of
the fireboat David Campbell. Usually
when you turn a crew of firemen Into
a blase such as we bad they wlU cause
more damage than will the fire Itself.
, When this cargo came to me It. was. in
excellent shape and showed the ef-
' fects of careful handling and scien
tific fire fighting.
"My one real wish now is that the
work of repairing the Santa Catalina
Way be done In this port. It would
be a great gain to you to have It done
here as it would do away with the be
lief existing. In many places that Port
' land has no plant capable of doing
such a big Job. This Is the largest
repair Job that has been offered on
the Pacific coast in 10 years or more
and I believe that the facilities are
hers to handle it."

The burning of the Bteamer Santa
Catalina In the Columbia river near
Columbia City. October 18, gave a
splendid chance for the American sea
man to show his mettle and from the
exhibition of bravery given by the of
ficers of the burning steamer and

in almost every etory printed telling
of a shipwreck or disaster that the
above statement will always be found,
hidden, though it may be, somewhere
In the article.
Nowhere in the world is the real
master any better prized than by W.
R. Grace & Co. Their masters begin
at the bottom and grow up with them
and they are tried and found true be
fore they secure a command. It is
the boast of boh heads of the com
pany and the masters themselves that
"political pull" finds no place In the
workings of the Grace fleet.
In the- burning, of the Santa Cata
lina the're stood out above all other
things the bravery of five men Cap
tain J. F. Rose. Chief Officer Wallis.
Second Officer Lusk, Chief Engineer
George F. Ashmore and a Portland
man, Captain B. Sandstrom, Columbia

Captain Rose proved in his three
attempts to enter the fire room to as
slst Gus Johnson, the fireman killed
in the fire, that he had been well
chosen for the command of , the
steamer.
The mates, Wallla and Lusk, took
their lives In their hands by staying

to open the sea cocks and thus save'
