16 TRAGIC SCENES ATTEND WRECK OFF COOS BAY NIGHT OF HORROR ENDS IN DEATH OF SURVIVORS THREE FALL FROM MAST; OTHERS LEAP INTO OCEAN Steamer Czarina Beaten to Splinters. Owner Sees His Son Fighting Gale for Hours, Then Drown [Associated Press] MARSHFIELD, Ore., Jan. 13.—An other tragedy of the sea has been written into the record of marine dis asters on the grim north Pacific coast through the loss of the staunch iron steamship Czarina on the north of the Coos Bay bar, with a loss of thirty more lives. A solitary survivor, Harry Kentzel, first assistant engineer of the wrecked vessel, is the only living testimonial to the heroic efforts made by the United States life saving crew, and by the citizens of Marshfleld to aid the doomed crew of the 111-fated steamer. Kentzel's escape is a wonderful story of human endurance and phys ical strength. When the ship piled on the rocks Kentzel with six or seven others took to the rigging of the fore mast. Driven by the gale, sea after sea smashed over the vessel; the decks were awash and wreckage was float ing about. Suddenly a tremendous sea swept over the vessel and Kentzel and his companions were washed from their places. Kentzel was swept toward land but time and again was carried out to sea by the shifting currents. He is a. strong swimmer and -fter fighting for what seemed to him ages he managed to get hold of a piece of timber and was slowly driven shoreward. Could See Rescuers As he neared the beach he could see the rescuers running up and down.. Finally he lost consciousness and knew nothing more until he came to alongside a big flre. He had been taken from the water by watchers and was only brought back to life after several hours' vig orous treatment. He will recover. Kentzfcl lives in San Francisco. When darkness fell last night it was believed that all on board the Czarina ■were lost. Mountainous seas dashed over the vessel, sweeping it from stem to stern. The wind, bitter cold, shrieked and howled. It was thought beyond the power of human endurance for anyone on the doomed ship to sur vive the terribie night. The Czarina sailed yesterday after noon in the face of a storm, bound for San Francisco. She had braved many a gale and her commander apparently saw no reason for delaying her depar ture He wished to take advantage of the tide and steamed slowly down the bay toward the bar. A few of young Minis' friends and friends of the crew remained on the wharf to witness her passage over the bar which was breaking badly. Slid-1 denly a series of big seas struck the I, pitching her about, but still no danger was anticipated and she con tinued to fight her way on toward the open sea. Accident Happens Then something happened; what it ni may never be known. The vessel appeared to stop and sea after sea struck her, some of the waves washing her decks. Then the big vessel started to drift rapidly | toward the fatal spot. Her anchor was | dropped, but it would not hold, and j with her rudder apparently out of; commission, and big seas pounding I against her, she piled on the rocks. News of the disaster spread like wildfire and in a few minutes the beach was lined with people. The life crew was notified and a tugboat was sent to the scene, but no boat could ap proach near enough to the vessel and keep afloat. The lifesaving crew made several at tempts to flre lines over the steamer, but all fell short. Huge beacon fires were built on shore and all night long through wind and storm scores patrolled the beach in the hope that others, like Kentzel, might reach land with some spark of life still In them. This morning when the first gleam of dawn came out of the east, six forms could be made out through glasses, Htill clinging to the rigging of the only remaining mast. Hope of rescue was renewed, but fate decided otherwise. Accident Happens As the day advanced and the storm failed to abate, the watchers on shore realized that no help could reach the men who were making such a grim light for life. It was beyond human skill and pos sibility to approach the pounding ship. No tug or lifeboat could live for a mo ment in such a sea. Half frozen and numb from the cold, weakened by hunger and the buffet- Ing waves, one of the six men lost heart and dropped Into the seething water. A second man gave up his slender thread of life, and a little later a third was seen to fall. Amjng the scores of watchers on the beach none spent such a night of agony as C. J. Millis, general man ager of the steamship company, whose son Harold, aged 20, was aboard the Czarina. The young man was return- Ing to the University of California after passing the holidays with his parents. All mornini? Millis kept his glass glued on the ship, whose superstruc ture was barely visible through blind ing spray and foam. As the men be gan to drop off the rigging Millis low ered his glass and turned away, his i ,i. .■ white and. drawn. For a short time remaining the trio could be seen clinging to the wreck. Then, through the glasses, it appeared If they had resolved together to make one last desperate effort to reach ■bore. Removing a portion of their drenched clothing, not to be handicapped in what they realized was a desperate ■w'm tor life, the threu survivors jumped into the sea. They never re appeared. The identity of the sextet who had surviveM the night will never be known definitely, but the consensus of opinion is that they were Capt. C. J. Duggan of San Francisco, Second Mate John McNichols of fan Fran i i.sco, First Officer James Hughes of Han Francisco, Harold Millis and two sailors. Aside from portions of a body torn asunder on the rocks, nothing has come ashore. Survivors' Narrative ■■■* "The • Czarina was simply over '■ whelmed by * the storm. , Her engines ' and'machinery" worked perfectly until I shut them off to take to the rigging when w? with pounding on the spit.' ' said H. H. Kentzel, first assistant ■ n glnoer, the only survivor of the wreck. "The storm was terrific and tossed us about like a chip. We could neither go back nor keep OH ahead. We .struck 1 first on the south spit. WATS tossed over and around to the north spit, and once succeeded in getting out beyond the last bleaker and there cast anchor. "The anchor began to drag and we were tossed back, broadside, into the breakers and were helpless. The an chor chain was then cut to let the Czarina as far in on the beach as po.i-1 sible to give the men a better chain ■ for their lives." Kentzel is still on the verge of ner vous prostration. When his unconscious form was picked up last night in the surf his arms and legs were wrapped übout a heavy timber with a deathlike grip, i The timber had to be carried out with him and his limbs gradually worked loose. The drowning of the last six vic tims was the saddest phase of the dis aster. The last two were Capt. Dug gan and Harold Millis. Millis waved hi* coat as a good-by signal to those gathered on shore, | among whom was his lather. Capt. I Dugjran, who had remained close to the youth throughout, was the last to leave the wreck, and stripped himself of all his clothing, rubbed his limbs to stir up circulation and dived Car into the foaming breakers.

He was formerly in the employ of the Pacific Coast Steamship company and commanded one of the little .steamers that did most of the passenger busi ness in and out of this port In the early days. His last visit here was a few weeks ago, when the Czarina brought a cargo of coal to San Pedro from Coos Bay for the Southern Pacific* the shipment having been the first of its kind received here for several years. Takes Cv rue tin's Kun The Pacific Coast steamer Senator has ar rived at San Francisco from Pug^t sound and will leave there tomorrow for Mexican ports, arriving at San Pedro Monday.

She Is a sis'er ship to the turret steamer Claverly, which called here a few weeks ago and aroused mu-h Interest on the waterfront be cause of her peculiar design. The Clavwlay was the tlrst turret steamer that ever <;• 11. ■. 1 here.

Remodeling the Governor The big liner Governor of the Pacific Coast Steamship company fleet Is in drydock at San Francisco. More staterooms are being added and the after deck Is being improved In other ways. Although the President and the Gov ernor are the largest steamers la the coast wise service, they both were too small to ac commodate the hundreds of cabin passengers who would have sailed when she was In com mission. When the Governor goes back Into service the President will also be overhauled. The steamer Queen Is at presnt on the run of the Governor. Installed Cold Storage Vegetable and fruit shippers in Southern California will hall with Interest the an nouncement of the Alaskan-Pacific Steamship company that It ha» Installed cold storage plants in Its eteamers, Including the Admiral Sampson, which makes two round trips a month between here and Seattle. Arrange ments have also been made by the company to handle through freight in connection with the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound, the 'Northern Pacific and the Great Northern rail roads Will Build Dredger The director! of the Puclflc Wharf anil Stor age company last night adopted plann (or a new dreilKcr. This will bo built on the log of the company at East San Pi> dro and It is expected that work on the first slip will be under way within four months. It will have the same capacity as the gov ernment dredger San Pedro, which throws a twenty-inch stream. The dredger will cost about $65,000. The hull will be 127 feet long and 42 feet wide, built strong enough to go to sea. It has not yet been decided whether steam or electric power will be used. Antici pating much work, not only on their own concession but In other purts of the harbor during tin- next few years, when other dredg ers might not be available, the company de cided to build and dredge the first slip rather than let the contract to a dredging com pany. .
