WORLD’S DOINGS Of CURRtNT WEEK 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.

Inside, the voices rose and fell la animated conversation Mrs. Royal ton's always sentimental and reproachful, Carolyn's high and merry, Rosamund's a surly contralto note. Flodie’s face changed from hope to fear, from hatred ta mirth. She wss so absorbed In the scene that •he did not notice when the hall door opened, and Mr Smalltah entered, bearing a newspaper.

But say, did you know what they got In the paper about Mr. Bonlstelle?” He displayed an afternoon edition. Impatiently, Flodie snatched the sheet from his hands. "Oh, dear! What was It about?"

Flodie exclaimed excitedly. “ That's a lie. anyway.” She tried to carry the paper to her desk, glancing terrified at the ladles. "W hat Is It?” Carolyn demanded.

"Yes. miss, he's come Into a lot of money, It seems— " "A lfr e d !" cried FTodle, "you go downstairs and see if those Ice-cream freezers have come yet." “ Y es'in !"
