from two rescue vessels four hours
afterward. The two vessels at that
time had reported rescuing u.'i per
sons. The Sau Juan went down in ahoul
five minutes after colliding with
the Standard Oil tanker S. C. T.
Dodd at midnight off Pigeon Point,
C'al. Although one side of the Dodd
was stove in, she lowered her boats
and went to the rescue of the 1(H)
persons who were pitched into Ihe
sea as the San Juan sank.
Another ship, the Munumi, turned
from her course nearby and aided
in the rescue work. By 4 a. m. the
Dodd was on its way to San Fran

them badly injured .mid Jn .need of
medical attention. The Alunanii
had taken eight others aboard and
was standing by. looking for those

after the sinking.
Had Slim Chance
Itadio accounts of the rescue In
dicated, however, that the chances
for many of the ;" unaccounted for
persons were slim, due to the speed
with which the San Juan sank and
the fact that, darkness' and confu
