This little etory Is sent us from
Han Francisco by a special repre
dilutive of the liaiette-Tlinee. He
says; "I happened to run across
Miss Evelyu Shipley over at the cus
toms huuite here the other day and
he told me her version of the
wreck and how she survived it. It
was a sad story she told of Miss
Hart and related other Incidents of
a heart rendniK nature, one young
fellow, who evidently lust his mind
over It all, threw himself to the
waves from the life raft, after see
Ins a man choke a woman to death.
His mother and sister were there at
the time. If this is the kind of world
1 am living In, I don't care to live,'
said this young man, who's name
was Jackaway, and he straightway
(Tave up his life."
I. ci use of the great Interest this
community naturally has In both
Miss cShipley and Miss Hart, young
women horn in this city and weU
known here, we print this story,
though the facts mainly given were
published in last Issue.
Han Francisco, Auk. 16. (Special to
the Uaiette-Tline) Mia Ruth Hart,
a former Heppner girl, lost her life
In the wreck of the Ill-fated steamer
Alaska, which sunk on the night of
Sunday, August J, after striking the
rocks on Blunts Meet, on the California
coast. Miss Hart was ou ber way to
Sacramento to visit with friends. The
body was recovered several day after
the catastrophe, being taken up by the
learner Olum and brought to this city.
Hlory r Mlsa Sslplry.
The story ot the Alaska wreck was
brought to the writer by another young
woman who was born In tleppner and
who had made her home there for many
years. Miss Evelyn Shipley, who now
lives in Los Angeles, waa returning
outh after visiting for a month and
a half with relatives in Oregon and
Montana. Hhe waa on ot the last to
leave the sinking ship and up to within
by members of the crew had been
vy member of the crew, had, been
standing on the hurricane deck talking
to Mis Hart
"I never realised until thus terrlbls
minutes that some men were so yel
low," said Miss Shipley In relating her
experiences to the writer In the office
of United States Inspector of Boilers.
Joseph P. Dolan. "Some of the men
were worse than the women, fighting
their way to the life boats. We had
been told by officers of th ship to re
main up on deck where we were, that
tie ship waa beached and could not
possibly sink. I firmly believe this la
the reason Ruth Hart lost her life.
Hhe had been told there was no danger
and had put Implicit faith In what
she had been told, making no effort to
enter Into the mad scramble for the
life boata When the ship first struck
the rock i I noticed that ah Hated
heavily, but really nothing much was
thought of It at the time, as no one
seemed to get the least bit excited.
It was when th boiler exploded that
havoc broke loose. Such Inefficiency
seemed to be shown on the part of the
ship's crew and th officer In direct
ing things. They didn't seem to know
how to launch a life boat, and a a re
sult, as I was afterwards told, th first
boat lowered Into the water, was put
down In aurh a manner that all th oc
cupants, who were nearly all woman
and children, were simply dumped Into
the sea.
"1 was one of the last to be taken off
the ship," continued Miss Shipley, "and
after getting Into the life boat we
found there waa no plug, and as a re
sult we were forced to keep balling
water continually, to keep th boat
floating. It was a terrible ordeal and
I wonder now that I held up under the
train of it all as long a I did. We
wer picked up by another steamer and
taken to Eureka, where we, all of the
rescued, wet well taken oar of. It
was not until I arrived at th horn of
my cousin In San Anselmo that I gave
way to a bad case of over-strained
nerve."
Mlsa Shipley appeared at th hearing
held in thi city last week and testified
to the general inefficiency shown by
officer and "Crew of th Alaska. Cap
tain Hobey went down with his ship,
but the first, second, third and fourth
officer of the vessel have been charg
ed with contributory negligence and
will face trial.
Miss Hart mad her horn In Hepp
ner for a number of year before mov
ing with her parent to Hllgard, Or.,
and her father, who with Mrs. Hart
have sine passed away, was agent at
Heppner for the O. II. ft N. Two sis
ter Mrs. Julia Metiler and Mrs. Frank
Rechltn. live at La Grande and another
slater, Mr O. W. Phelps, wife of Judge
I'helps of the local circuit court, lives
at Pendleton.
Evelyn Shipley, a well as Miss Hart.
Is quite well known In Heppner, having
lived there for many year and attend
ed grammar school and high school
there. Two sisters, Mrs. Richard Wells,
Mrs.WIll Cowlns, and a brother Will
Shipley, reside there. Another sister,
Mrs. Cora Knotts, Uvea at Pilot Rock.
Miss Shipley visited early this summer
with still another sister, Mrs. Mabel
Fant In Butte, Montana. It was while
she was on her way to Los Angeles,
Just before arriving at the point of the
wreck, that she received a telegram
stating that Mrs. Kant had died at her
Montana home, after a very brief 111
