STEAMER HITS REEF PASSENGERS SUFFER FOUR WEEKS. PREPARBD mit LONG WAIT BE- FORE RESCUE IS EXPECTED— SET UP CAMP IN SNOW. Seattle, Feb. 6.—A cable dispatch to the Associated Press from Valdez says: The Alaska Steamship company's wood- en steamehip Farallon, which left Val- dez, Alaska, for Kodiak January 2, while trying to laud a passenger at Mama, struck Black reef in Iliamna bay, at the houth of Cook inlet January 5, during a thick snowstorm, but a smooth sea enabled all the passengers and crew, 32 people, to reach the land safely. Clothing, bedding and supplies were taken ashore and with plenty of fire- wood the shipwrecked party went into camp on the beach to wait for a rescue boat, which arrived February 3, being the Steamer Victoria, that took the castaways on board, carried them to Valdez and aftervrard sailed for Se- attle with them. Six of the Farallon 'a crew are miss- ing. Becoming impatient at the non. arrival of a steamer, on January 6 Second Mate Gus Swanson and five sailors left the camp in a small boat for Kodiak, on Kodiak island, hoping that they might there get into com- munication with the world and cause a steamer to be sent to Manaus. The Victoria spent as much time as possible searching for the boat and its little crew, but was obliged to con- tinue to this city because of the con- dition of the rescued. Castaways Suffer. Despite the fact that they were fairly well supPlied with clothing and easily obtained wood for fuel, the cast- aways suffered greatly from the se- vere cold. None, however, is seriously the worse for the experienc. Captain McGilvray of the steamer Portland. which arrived from Alaska several days ago, said, after learning of the wreck of the Farallon, that early on the teeming of January 20, just after the Portland let Seldovia on the southeast shore of Cook inlet, he saw a signal light at sea and beaded the Portland in the direction of the Sash. However, it was not repeated and in the darkness the Portland could see no vessel in distress. Captain McGilvray on his arrival here made no report of chasing this phantom light, thinking his vague story would only increase the anxiety of the people already distracted over the missing Farallon. Now Cap- tain McGilvray thinks the signal flame may have been made by the small boat whichzput out from Iliamna to seek assistance. Four Weeks on Ice. J. Thawaiten, mail clerk on the Far- allon, gave a vivid description of the four weeks' encampment on the ice. He said: \We had one passenger to land at Martina bay, where we arrived early on the morning of January 5. In a blinding 'snowstorm the steamer crept along, Pilot Crooks, who knew the coast well, realizing the peril of the attempt to enter the bay in the storm. With all his caution he missed the en- trance and the ship struck a reef a mile off shore and a mile north of the entrance of the bay. The Farallon hit the reef at high water and when the tide receded it was caught amid- ships on the rocks and her engine and machinery displaced so that they rolled violently as the ship pounded. \At noon the Farallon was on her beam ends and we were expecting her to break in two or tern turtle into deep water any minute. \All hands were ordered to the six boats, arid down the icy sides of the ship we lowered ourselves to the small boats in the water. They were tossed about like chive, and cake, of ice bat- tered them. The men let themseleen down to the boats on a rope. Blankets and food were also .11;wereil to the boats. When all the men were in the boats they pushed off for the shore, which could be seen dimly through tho veil of snow. \We could hear the roar of surf on the shore, and -the reports, an of can- non, when ice cakes were hurled against the rocks. -It seemed for a time that we shonld be unable to land because of the surf. The boats Mere also in grave danger of the floating Ice. At last we discovered a small cove of ehelter, and we landed safely. Modern Robinson Crusoes. \The sailors put the passengers nil supplies ashore, and then turned hack to the Farallon, from which they took sails, tarpaulins, baggage, mails, pro- visions and mattresses. To get all this stuff required two trips. In the meantime the party ashore was busy setting no a camp, for all knew that the stay while waiting for rescue would probably be long. \Upon two feet of snow that eovered the rocks of the -shore tarpaulins were spread for a Nor. Boxes and barrels of supplies formed walls, and lashed oars made gables for the tent. Sails were spread over the frame, but lacked two feet of reaching the ground on one side of the shelter, leaving an open- ing through which the icy wind whistled. A similar tent was erected further up the icy slope. \ When night came the outlook was disheartening. The wind increased in bitterness and drifted the snow about our huts. Fire was made from drift- wood dug out of the ice and snow along the shore. We had no lights; we made water for the coffee by melt- ing snow in cases, and we ate our meal of coffee, bacon and frozen bread in gloomy silence, wearing mittens and overcoats. \On subsequent days we made trips to the wreck and brought ‘ pft material with which we constructed stoves and other conveniences. We spent the time\ wretchedly and monotonously, the weather being so cold that no one ven- tured out except to get wood from the beach. A more desolate region could not have been imagined.\ KNOCK CENTRAL BANK PLAN. Leslie M. Shaw Denounces Control Being Given to \Special Interests.\ . — New York, Feb. 6.—Edwat-i g B. Vree- land, chairman of the congressional committee on banking and currency, and Leslie M. Shaw, formerly secretary of the treasury, had a heated debate last night on the subject of a central United States bank. Mr. Shaw, speak- ing at the Republican club, opposed a central bank, saying that it would be impossible to keep its control out of the bands of the men who control the Standard Oil company and the United States Steel corporation. Of the two he preferred Morgan control. \Special interests,\ continued Mr. Shaw, \are in control of financial con- ditions now and I admit it. It is an irresponsible control. They are account- able to nobody for it. We can not - escape centralization. You have it to- day in the banks belonging to these groups and interests. Nevertheless, these groups and interests can not pro- vide the ways and means to avoid panics or abate them when they do arise. \I assert thkt the political party that puts the control of any centralized commercial financial power like a cen- tral bank into the Lands of any group of men in New York will never again carry an election. The eons.' .7- will not tolerate it.\ Referring to Mr. Shaw's remarks that he preferred Morgan control, if control must come, Mr. Vreeland said: \We should not have much to gain if either group were to control, but we could not be worse off than we are now. ,, MINNESOTA MURDERER COMMITS SUICIDE Barricaded in His House, Cheats Law by Death—Tries to Lure Others.
