the wireless call, is standing close by

A tremendous sea was running and
when last seen the small boats which
had left the Santa Clara, had not been

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

North Pacific Steamahip Company.
Captain Ned Parsons, who wa» form

were lo«t, was one of the [«aaaengera.
This was the thirteenth round trip of
the Banta Clara since the steamer be

the fact that today is the 13th day of

by seafaring men.
The Santa Clara left Eureka at 2:05
this afternoon and proceeded south.

agent of the company, John Bimpson,
requesting that a tug be »ent to her

Simpson replied by asking what ths
trouble was, and a wireless answer
wa. received, stating that the Santa

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

Banta Clara to get a line on board,
