It Is generally stated among the pas

drunk, but Mr. Preston declined to ho
quoted In this regard, as all ho knew con
cerning it, he raid, was hearsay. It Is
nald that when the pilot camo to the hrldgo
tho first tlmo to take chargo of the ship
ho told tho captain that he was In no con

down for a while. This he did, but after

Mr. Preston's mother and sister, who aro
residents of Seattle, aro with them this

besides what was told In the dispatches

Inlander' Pilot's? Aceonnt.
VICTORIA. D. C, Aug. 19. Pilot BMnch?,
who had charge' of the steamer Islander
at tho time it struok,- says: "The night
was lino and as wo always expect- to meet
Ice, a sharp lookout was kept, Abput, 2;4i
a. in. tho crash come. The hoat was under
full speed and no lco was In eight and there
was no tog, but the wlud. was blowing and It
was dark and cloudy. Tho fatal berg was
no doubt oven with tho water. After It
struck I stopped the engines, when CapUlu
Footo appeared with tho .night watchman,
who reported the ship leaking forward.' ,1
told Captain Foote that we hod b:tter
heud for the beach, but ho demurred and
when wo decided to do so the ship was
taking water so fast that It would not
answer Us hehn. Then I called the mate
and orderod thn, boats. Thin, was done and
they were .lowered with passengers. Many
passengers Jumped overboard, with life pre
servers on. I Jumped' overboard and wns
In the water two hours and a quarter be
fore securing a pleco of wrcckuge."
The pilot also says that muny ot tho men
acted badly, attempting to Jump Into the
boats beforo they were, iauuehed, Had It
not been for the crowding and running hj
thinks all would, have been eaved with the
exception of those who did not get out of
tholr staterooms, among whom wore An
drew Ketlng 'und two sons of &os Angeles,
Tho rrew, qu the other hand, behaved
splendidly and looked to .the safety ot tho
passengers. After tho boats had bern
launched the crew turned Its attention to
the rafts, but these were alsq rushed ,and
after they hud been launched some ot the
crew had tolsw!m for wreckage, 'as thero
were too many on the rafts. Ho believes
the vessel sank In twenty-three fathoms,
and that the boiler did not explode, but that
tho woodwork was carried away by a rush
of water and air. He figures forty-two per
sona were drowned.
I'ansniiKcrs' Pathetic Tale.
t
A number of the passengers of tho
wrecked Btcamer Islander tell of their
thrilling experiences during the disaster.
M. Bluniauvr of Portland,- who was bringing
out a satchel containing $14,000 In Klon
dike gold, rushed up to the upper deck when
the boat was settling byt,he head, and Cap
tain Foote told nljn'there was. little danger.
Soon there was. a rush for the boats, a,td
when ho was boarding the lifeboat he was
afraid to throw his satchel ot gold, down
from the deck fnto'(ho b'o'sf before steadying
down Into piace tor tear that the weight
THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt TUESDAY,
of-the gold would stave'n nolo through the
bottom of the lifeboat and thus cause the
loss of the lives of those In the boat as well
as losing his own chances of safety. Ho
concluded to abandon his gold, and dropping
the satchel' on the deck ho slid down into
the wator and was hauled to tho boat,
thankful to have his life saved though ho
lost his treasure.
Sam Starten of Winnipeg, also dropped n
satcnei laden with $1,000 gold and a friend
lost his purse with J5.000 In it nnd each cs
caped to tell the story. While one man who
had Juet come out of the Klondike- (name
unknown) is reported to have taken his
portmanteau from tho care of tho purser,
Mr. Bishop, and with th grip containing
dust amounting to 110,000 In value grasped
firmly In his hand, Jumped from the sinking
steamer to n boat close by and falling to
reach the boat, he went down together with
his gold to rise no more. '
, 'Wife nnd Child .Nil niched .tnnj-.
United. States Consul Smith, who was a
passenger on the steamer Queen, saw Dr,
Phillips of Seattle at Juneau. Dr. Phillips
said he had lost his wife, and child. The
doctor Insisted that no one caltctl at his,
room, but ho felt the sudden stoppage, nnd
soys that his wife told him to get up and
see the cause of tho stoppage. Ho got up
nnd saw people moving on deck and he told
his- wlfo to dress Immediately. When they
got from their room the steamer was sink
ing, and before thoy could Jump from the
deck his wife nnd child were-caught In the
suction of-the ventilators and were drowned
Dr. Phillips was also drawn Into avcn
tllator but wrw caught by the bead at the
top and escaped being drawn down to
death. His eye was severely cut by the
ventilator. Hp went down with the steam
and caught hold of some wreckage, from
which he was afterward rescued. When res
cued he called for his wife and child, nnd a
man 'brought the body of his little girl to
hlrm Ho was left at Juneau, refusing' to
leuvo until his wife's body was found.
NV A. Hellcoiirt of Ottawa and O-Norge
Ray of Ottawa were asleep when tht, cci
dent happened. Being unable to open their
stateroom door, they broke out through thj
window nnd Jumped from tho upper deck
Into the lifeboat. A passenger who arrived
by .tho Queen -says that on Thursday morn
Ing when tho tide turned It brought In a
large quantity of debris from the wreck, In
cluding parts of cabin stores, trunks, etc
The Indians looted tho wreckage, smashing
tho trunks with axes nnd carrying off
valuables. On Saturday evening a concert
was given on the steamer Queen for (hi
sufferers and $333 was raised, which was
glv.ep Int.o tho carp of United States Consul
A. J. smith of Victoria, who was a ras
scnger on tho Queen,
fnutnln Foote Die Ilruvely.
Passengers and members of tho crew of
tho sioamer Islander who have arrlvtd
here agree that'tho loss of life by Thur-i
day's disaster in Lynn canal will amount
to sixty-five, but they admit that there
wero flvo or more stowaways on tho steamer
and tho children on hoard wero either
drowned or died of exposure, so It Is possl
bio that tho loss of life will reach ov.r
Eeventy.
The death of Captain Foote was very
pathetic. He remained on tho bridge until
the VOstol sank. The captain Is' said .'to
have Jdtrfped Into the llferaft which va
alr'oady" taxed' for accommodations' after nil
hope was gone, Realizing tMt his weight.

WAIT FOR OFFICIAL LIST

VICTORIA. B. C, Aug. 10. Victorians
are waiting patiently for an official list of
thoso who lost their lives In the dlsastgr
which overtook the steamer Islander, for
although the list of dead, has been reduced
to rorty-two, according to reports which
reached this city this afternoon, there are.
still numbers of names which have not been
recolvcd here. The day has been given to
a discussion of -tho accident. It Is said by
some that It Is quite possible that the
steamer struck on a ragged reef which runs
out from Tantallon point, as few lcobergs
aro about In that part of the sound,, they
mcsuy unuing tneir way out by the Taku
arm. Hut It must bo remembctcd that for
every two feet of lco above wnter thero aro
seven feet under water, and it Is posslblo
for a navigator not to see one. All admit
that(by the time Crtptaln'Footo reached the
bridge it was too late to beach the vessel,
In fact, It was Impossible, as the propeller
was out of the water. The crew, accord
ing to tho story of the offlcerfl. acted splen
didly and left the boats to the passengers,
they themselves bolng satisfied with pieces
of wreckage to cling to until picked up by
the boats. Captain Foote did not Jump
trom u raft, but was thrown off It when it
capsized nnd he went down, as he could
not swim a stroke. Some of the passengers
acted most Inhumanely, cutting the rbpes
as soon as they got Into the boAts ami nilsh-
mg on from the steamer. The' chief crlt
Iclsm as to the operation of the steamer
Is that It should haVo been slowed down as
soon as It was found that It was running
into ice.

extent that the propeller was out of ths

As the ship went down they werq, still
there. With ihem was an old man from
Vancouver named Morgan. When thoy came
to ihe surface Morgan and Brownlee caught
hold of a piece of wreckage and Just then
Dr, Phillips of Seattle1 popped up and raught
the same piece. It was only a frail sup

stat( ot mind, having Just seen hU wife
and daughter drown In a whirlpool formed
by tho sinking of the ship. Another man
was seen struggling In the water and the
end of the wreckage wan passed to him.
He was one of the oilers, named Burke.
Thus thero were (our men clinging to one
frail piece of .wreckage. Suddenly the fog
yhlch had wrapped all in obscurity lifted
and Mr. , Brownlee found a quantity of
wreckage not far, away. Ho succeeded In
selling enough for a small raft. By this
time -his lega were to numb, with cold that
he could, not move them and ho was com
pelled to pinch them persistently to restore
circulation. He first hauled Dr. Phillips
aboard and. after much exertion succeeded
In reviving him.

The two then hauled Burke aboard, but
the unfortunate man was too far gone nnd
Murmuring something' about being cold, ex
pired on the raft. More wreckage was
secured and the dimensions of tho raft In

they reached shore or were picked up speed

being In the water fdr on hdur, they were
hailed by 'Purser Bishop and a boatload of
rescuers. They did not at, once go to shore,
but continued to row In tho vicinity ot tho
wreck .finding hero Vrtd there a body or

desperately to portions of wreckage. The
boat was jioon filled' with the living and

efforts were rondo to, Revive those overcome
by exposure, "some. o( which efforts were

Mr. Brownlee, the niato, and several others
got into a boat and started to pull for the
Treadwell mines thrco miles away. The cur
rent was too strong for the weak, enervated

TWELVE THOUSAND MEXICANS
Addition of Nebraska and Missouri
Stuck Will Develop flreat
i Herd of C'nttle.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Aug. 19. Tho pur
chase of 12,000 head'ot Mexican cows which
aro to form the greater part of a herd to be
built up by the addition of Nebraska nnd
Missouri thoroughbred cattle on an lm
mense Mexican plantation was announced
today by Harry Trower, a live stock com
mission merchant, who has Just returned
train, an extended business trip to Old 5Iex
lco, Tti cows were bought from Don Luis
Torrazes, ex-governor of the state of Chi
huahua, a,nd owner'of several of the largest
cattle ranches In Old Mexico. They wero
purchased for the big ranch recently ac
quired by the Riverside Land and Cattle
company of this city, of which William
iiumpnroy is presiuent.
Mr," Humphrey's ranch contains 1,200,000
acres and is in the RIo Grando bottoms,
fitate ot Chihuahua. He will begin to im
prove tbo property at once. He already
has a large force of men nt work building
a fence around the entlro ranch. When
this Is finished cross fences will bo built
nnd the place divided Into numerous smaller
ranches. This Is a new departure In Old
Mexico, None ot tho ranches has fences
In addition Mr. Humphrey proposes
tp build a fine building on ono of tbo ranches
for headquarters, whlrh will bo strictly
American In nil Its appointments.
After these Improvements are made, the
Riverside company will select 7K0 thor
oughbred Hereford bulls from Its breed
ing establishments at Ashland, Ncb and
Belton. Mo. Thoy will bo taken to tho
ranches on tho RIo Grande. Mr. Humphrey
proposes to show tho Mexicans what Amer
ican puro bred bulls and selected Spanish
cows will produce. He will market his
yearlings in the United States.
Whllo In Chihuahua Mr. Trower met
Grant Glllett, the former Kansas "cattle
king," He Is manager of tho Buenos Ayres
Mining company, which Is being financed
by Dr. Flower of New York. He Is com
fortably situated and attending strictly to
business, having chargo of 300 men. Ho Is
operating three mines and n large mill,
From nil appeorances the Idea that Olllett
has a large amount of money left, which
ho took from the States, Is a mlstako, and
ho Is dependent upon his earnings for a
living. He Is not satisfied, however, und
longs to return to Kansas.
