the remarkable experience of Tearl
Beebe, of Tortland, as related to a
. ielegram reporter. Mis Beebe, a
.tall Dlotide, has one hand bandaged
' as a result of her ellort to save her
'life.
"I asked several men to show me
how to put 011 a life preserver, but
(they were too busy saving them
' selves," said Miss llcebe, "so I re
turned to my room and read the in
structions. When I got on deck
the ship went down and I with it.
It seemed as though I would never
stop. 'Hold your breath,' I kept
saying to myself and I tried hard,
Jut still I wanted air. I don't
know how far down I went, but
suddenly the wire rope was jerked
from my hand. lYrhaps the Co

the dark I struck something, it was

wave took me to a raft .and after
those on loard it told me they could
got reach me I climlcd on and was
saved. I had almost no clothing
on and on reaching the San Tedro
I'was given a pair of overalls. W.

you, but he was one of the most
taluable men 011 the wreck, doing
much to save other women and my
self. The last of the women to be

Carrie Martin, of Eugene, was
quickly prepared to take her chances
with the ocean, and put on a Hie
preserver, but was told there was
no danger, and removed it and put

word came that the Columbia was
sinking, and Miss Martin bad just

make ber escape from below.
San Francisco, July 24. Cap
tain Bermingbam, United States Su
pervising Inspector of Hulls and
Boilers for this district, will tomor
row begin an investigation of the
sinking of the steamer Columbia by
the steam schooner San Tedro, in
which 77 lives are believed to have
been lost.
Captain Bermingbam declared to
day that he would institute a most
thorough inquiry . into the loss of
the vessel. He went to Eureka to
day to take the depositions of the
Captain and crew of the San Tedro
and summoned the oSicers and crew
of the Columbia to be in attendance.
Captain Bermingbam said: "I'
the published statements that the
San Tedro refused to take on board
a boatload of survivors is true, then
the master of that vessel is guilty of
manslaughter."

of the crew of the San Tedro reach

now engaged in a squabble with the
master 01 tue ueo. vv. iiiuer over
the latter's claim for salvage, will
Inspectors Bolles and Bulger begin
the inquiry into the ' cause of the
wreck of the steamer Columbia
The Inspectors intend to get from
Captain Hansen a full statement of
the affair, with particular reference
to the charge that he misunderstood
the signals given by Captain Doran
from the bridge of the Columbia
and failed to give the Columbia op
portunity to clear the course of the
lumler schooner.
Captain Hansen will also be call,
ed upon to answer the charge made
by Third Officer Hawse, in his
sworn report to the inspectors, that
Captain Hansen acted In a cruel and
innuman manner after the wreck
and refused to assist in the work of
rescue by taking on board his vessel
boatloads of people whom the sail
ors of the Columbia had dragged
Irom the water. Mr. Hawse makes
the positive statement that when
he approached the San Tedro with
15 rescued people in his boat, Cap
tain Hansen ordered him off, say
iug that the schooner could not
take any more on board,
