Nine Die as Steamer Santa Clara
Goes Aground on Coos Bay Shoal
Marshfield, Or. — Nine lives are
known to have been lost late Tuesday
when the passenger steamer Santa
Clara, from Portland to San Francisco,
went aground on the south spit near
the entrance to Coos Bay.
The dead
may number more.
There were 48 passengers aboard
and the crew numbered 42.
The greater number o f lives were
lost when two small boats, trying to
leave the foundered steamer, were
capsized by the heavy sea.
Several thrilling rescues were made,
while others died within view o f per
sons engaged in rescue.
The Santa Clara, according to the
mate, who was saved, struck a shoal
that evidently had been thrown up in
the channel by recent heavy winds.
The vessel was swerved from her
course and thrown onto the south spit,
half a mile inside the bar.
Captain Lofstedt and six men, who
were in one o f the overturned boats
and who were thought drowned, got
back to the Santa Clara and were res
cued by the coast guard with
breeches buoy.
Eight bodies have been recovered
but it is feared there will be more.
Miss Gale Graham, o f Portland, and
Mrs. E. K. Rooney and Mrs. Hale, of
South Bend, Ind., are missing. Among
the Nurvivors there are many who are
suffering from injuries and exposure.
Crowded into a little Summer cottage
at Bastendorff beach, 12 miles from
aid and medical attention, four women
and
three little boys were being
worked over during the night to bring
back a spark o f life , while the only
light was two lanterns.
Sailors who had come safely through
the surf for half a mile from the Santa
Clare, wreck were groping about in the
dark for other victims i ' the disaster.
