FOUR THOUSAND '
DOLLARS MORE'
MUST BE RAISED
With all large subscriptions raised, the Y. M. C. A. fund at the
noon report today had reached the total sum of $45,830. No
reserves were left on the hands of any of the sub-committees.
I .B. Rhodes stated that this entire um would have to be raised
by "hard bucking" through the small subscriptions. With this
much raised, there is to be gathered in during this afternoon and
evening, up to 10 o'clock, 4170.
While the workers at the noon luncheon were jubilant at the
success so far, it was duly impressed upon them that the hardest
effort is required to complete the full $50,000 by 10 o'clock to
night. v
. For this reason any who may have held off until the. last
hours of the campaign are requested to telephone their pledges
to headquarters. Telegrams are being sent to different places
today by the enthusiastic captains and their workers. Ono was
sent to California, and a response is expected this evening.
Many are also expected to increase their original pledges.
For today's work the city was divided into four sections by
East Eleventh and West Eighth streets and Wlilamette street,
which run through the whole breadth and width of the city.
The northwest district 1b in charge of Captains Wetherbee, Grif
fin and Wheeler, the southeast is in oharge of Captains Dixon,
Spencer, Straub, Dunn and Eaton, the northeast is in oharge of
Captains Bingham, Howe and DeNeffe, and the southwest is in
charge of Captains Hull,' Shelley and Hug.
Later reports this afternoon IndioaU that daring this even
ing about $2000 will have to be raised. 'At 8 o'olook there
will be the second meeting of the day for the captains and their
teams. If the sum is not raised by that time, work will be oon
tinned until 10 o'clock. . Beports of teams on today's work were
as follows:
No. 1, $330; No. 2, $1000; No. 3, $262; No. 4, $105; No.

Valeta Island, Malta, Nov. 26. Nearly 200 passengers and
crew of the Ellerman line steamer Sardinia are believed to have
perished today when the steamer was destroyed by fire just af
ter it had sailed for Alexandria, Egypt. The Sardinia was
scarcely a mile off Grand Harbor when the first sign of fire ap
peared, but with a strong wind fanning the flames the whole
ship was soon ablaze and the passengers and crew had but little
chance to save themselves. There were wild Bcenes on board
as the flames drove the passengers to the rails. Many of the
excited ones jumped into the sea before the boats were lowered.
Others were trapped by the flames and roasted or smothered
to death without a chance for their lives.
Several tugs and other small vessols wont to the assistance
cf the doomed steamer, but owing to the heavy sea and gale it
was impossible for them to approach and tbey could do very little
in the way of aid.
The Sardinia left Liverpool November 14 with a cargo of
general merchandise for Mediterranean ports and a crew of 44,
with twenty first-class and six second-class passengers.' Most
of the other passengers who were taken on here were Levant
ites, Maltese and Egyptians.
The flames originated in the foichold, where a quantity of
naptha was stored.
The captain and crew stood nobly at their posts serving out
life belts and doing everything possible to help the panic-stricken
passengers, most of whom were Arab pilgrims. There were
only eleven Europeans on board in a total passenger list of 161.
Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon fifty bodies had been brought
ashore.
Seventy persons were rescued. The dead include 100 Arabs,
five European passengers and eighteen of the crew. It is not
impossible that others may be saved, as it is believed some are
drifting about at sea, and a large fleet of small vessels is pa
trolling tho vicinity.
