And the fleet of steamers and tugs have today been turning their at tention lo patrolling the vicinity In the Hope of finding boats, rafta or wreckage atlll a lion t lth survivors, though chances are small. , Ashore several niii'tles have been toiling over most arduous trails, some carrying uccor to those who were washed to the beach, others scouring tho rugged rocka of the shore line seeking for any survlvnra that may have reached ahore and be lying foodlcas and helpless, and others arc en gaged In the melancholy duty of recovering bodies. Of the. total company of 154 but thirty three have been defluletly accounted' for, nnd three men believed to be other sur vivors were seen on shore by the whaling vessel Orion, near the wreck, huddled about a fire. Six surylvors have been taken on the Sailor; nine, most of them so badly cut u'p and bruised, without boots and so over comn that they cannot stand, much less walk, are still camped at the Darling creek telegraph hut, and eighteen others were picked up by the City of Topeka.

The steamer Salvor made an effort to get one of Us boats through the surf near Darling creek this morning to land supplies for the men at Darling telegraph hut, but the surf ran too high though, and It seemed Impossible to get a boat througl) It. The boat was forced tq return. The Salvor toon afterward located two men and a boy. At 1Q:4S a. m., a Are evidently built . afc a signal was seen on the. beach between Hccgardess Point v and Klanewak, where tho wrack lies. After transferlng the sur vivors taken from Bamfleld to the steamer City of Topeka, the Salvor went to notify the tug Loina of the finding of the party oil shore and asked It the British blue Jackets on board the Lome with a life bout would attempt a landing. Captain Butler replied they would try, but the un . Jet-taking , was most dangerous and un tsafe. The British bluejackets, however. 'volunteered to mako'tlie attempt, and made V daring (-Hurt. They were unsuccessful, lib. .ver, aud the sailors were obliged t ivtui-n. after getting within three boat lengths of the shore. Some doubt was held on the tug if the purty on shore were survivors of this wixck, for after the boat' atnrted uhoiv several other men were seen ui.d they seemed to make no attempt to get off.
