round trip between the two points.
The tug Ranger, »ent in response to
the wireless call, is standing close by
tonight and haa a lino to the crippled

A tremendous sea was running and
when last seen the small boats which
had left the Santa Clara, had not been
abb- to get alongside the Ranger.
The Eureka lifesaving crew attempt­
ed to go to the aid of the steamer, but
wa* unable to crow the bar. Another
attempt will be made at 4 o’elock to­
morrow morning, when it is ho|>ed the
sea will have subeidcd somewhat.
Among thoee on board the Santa
Clara is C. A. Doe, one of the principal
owners of the »learner, and father of
€. I'. l>oe, general manager of the
North Pacific Steamahip Company.
Captain Ned Parsons, who wa» form­
erly in command of the steamer Po­
mona and the Corona, both of which
were lo«t, was one of the [«aaaengera.
This was the thirteenth round trip of
the Banta Clara since the steamer be
cam«- one of the vessels of the North
Pacific Steam »hip Company’s fleet, and
the fact that today is the 13th day of
the mouth is regarded as a bad omen
by seafaring men.
The Santa Clara left Eureka at 2:05
this afternoon and proceeded south.
W hen alxiut four miles south of Table
Bluff, those in the lighthouse and wire-
l«»s station at the poiat saw the steam­
er turn around and start back. It was
at this time that a wireless message
«•ante from the steamer to the local
agent of the company, John Bimpson,
requesting that a tug be »ent to her
as»i»tance.
Simpson replied by asking what ths
trouble was, and a wireless answer
wa. received, stating that the Santa
• lara struck heavily in crossing the
bar and was leaking badly. Following
that no further communication could
be had with her. It is supposed that
her seams opened, lotting m enough
water to put out the fires.
W hen about one mile south of Table
Riiiff, and a mile off shore, the steamer
dropped anchor. To those in the wire-
les* station and lighthouse it was ap­
parent that the vessel was badly crip-
ple«l and could get no further.
rhe tug Ranger left Eureka at 4
o clock and ran close enough to the
Banta Clara to get a line on board,
shortly after fl o'clock two small
boats from the Santa Clara with pas-
sengers could be sren trying to get
