Mr. and Mrs. J. . Paul, who escaped death in the wreck of the steamer Co lumbia, reached Olympia yesterday afternoon to enjoy their interrupted visit with Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Marshall and Dr. and Mrs. Frank Swan. They have been delayed ainoe the wreck by remaining in Eureka where they nursed a traveling companion, 8. O. Lewis, who lost hie wife and two children in the dis aster and was himself badly injured by wreckage when the boilers exploded. They left Mr. Lewis about recovered from his injanea. Mr. and Mrs. Paul tell a tragic story of the wreck, the maia details of which are a repetition of the stories of other passengers saved from death. Good fortune attended them through all of the trials of the disaster. "We had barely time to make our way to the deck of the Colombia when she sank." said Mr. Paul last night when urged to give an account of their rescue. "We bad partly dressed and had put on life preservers in our staterooms. When we made our way up the companion way the ship had a heavy list, and when we reached the deck the rail was under water. We simply walked cff the deck into the aea and that instant the ship went down. I clang to my-wife'sjumd and we came to the surface together With the life preservers on we had no diffiealty in keeping afloat and we clang to ench other's hand to keep from being separated. We soon drifted near some wreskage and with other passengers we workad together wreckage enough to make a raft upon which we remained until the George W Elder arrived and picked us up. After we were landed at Eureka, the attention and hospitality shown the wreck victims was remarka ble. The whole city vied in caring for us, and the half-clothed survivors were fitted out from bead to foot with clothing regardless of whether or not any one was ableVo pay. The same was true of hotel accommodations. There will long re main a warm spot in the hearts of all of the ftiirvi vors for Eureka and her people.' Mrs. Paul was the first woman to be taken aboard the rescue ship, George W. Elder. Although she and her husbaad were in the water about four hours she suffered no ill effects.
