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.

SUES TO LIMIT SIZE OF
PACKAGES FOR EXPRESS
Lawyer Would Have Everything Less
Than Four Pounds Go by
Mail
_________
"WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—An attack
was made today before the interstate
commerce commission on the legality
of the transportation by express com
panies of parcels or packages weighing
four pounds or less.
Nathan B. Williams, a lawyer of
Fayctteville, Ark., issued a complaint
against the Wells-Fargo company, in
which he asserted the carrying of
packages of four pounds or less by ex
press companies between interstate
points was unlawful, because congress
had committed the carriage of such
packages to the mails and made it un
lawful for any private express compa
ny to carry them.
He said the commission was without
legal authority to make rates or en
force tariffs concerning express trans
portation of such packages.

l>uggan Known llrrp
Captain Duggan, who la reported to have
] -I Ilia life with his crew In the wreck at
he ill-fated steamer Czarlim Wednesday night
at Coos Bay. was well known at this port,
although he had not been running here regu
larly lor several years. 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. The Senator
la taking the place of the Curacao of the tame
line, which is laid up for an overhauling. Th«
iteaener will take passengers and freight from
this port.
Another Turret Steamer Coming
The British steamer Inverness sailed Decem
ber 21 from Las Palmas for San Petlro With
a general cargo loaded at Antwerp. 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. The nearest approacl. in Amncan ship
building to a turret design is the whaleback,
but, unlike the whalebark. the turret has a
flat Jjottom and perpendicular sides below the
water line.
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. . N
