Terrible Scenes of Columbia Wreck Are Told by Witnesses of Midnight Crash at Sea
Many Survivors
Reach Portland
on G. W. Elder
Maybelle Watson Is
Praised by All
• for Heroism
Three Women Drowned
in the San 'Pedro Cabin
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
PORTLAND, July 24.— Miss Maybelle
Wat6on of Berkeley, the heroine of the
Columbia wreck, who arrived here to
day on the Eteajnshlp George W. Elder.
tellß a harroving: Btory of her rescue
from the Sin Pe<sro and on every side
praises zre \u25a0sung: for her heroism. Her
deed in saving- a woman from drown
ing after men had refused to assist in
the rescue will go. down as one of the
bravest tales' of the sea ever told.
That three women picked up from
the Columbia were drowned in the
cabin of the San Pedro Is a feature of
Miss Watson's story not previously re
lated. She says thaf these women,
whose names ehe does not know, were
placed In the. lower cabin of the San
Pedro as soon as they were taken from
the water. They were helpless, and
while they were' lying unwatched the
water rose in the cabin, drowning them.
This happened while the crew and pas
sengers were busy saving others from
the Columbia.
According to Miss Watson, all of the
Columbia's passengers had retired, with
the possible exception of one or two
men, who were in the saloon at the
time of the collision. Several of the
boats which were lowered soon after it
was notjec-d that the passenger craft
was taking water turned turtle and
were sucked down beneath the waves
when the big iron ship plunged out of
sight.
Miss Watson, who ."was on her way to
Portland to visit her brother, said to
night that she was thrown in the
water, but had first placed a life pre
server around herself and had done the
same for several other women passen
gers. Although she had never swam
before, the young girl, who Is of a
most determined disposition," struck out
with both' hands as though she had
acquired the art of swimming expertly
and was making good progress away
from the sinking ship when she was
interrupted by another . struggling
woman, who caught her about the neck.
After struggling for two hours and a
half the almost exhausted girl and her
then unconscious companion were
picked up by a boat in charge of Third
Officer Hawes of the Columbia.
Columbia Survivors
Arrive at Portland
Thousands Gather to Greet
Rescued Passengers
PORTLAND, July 24.— Bearing sur
vivors of the wrecked Columbia, -the
steamer George W. Elder arrived here
this evening. Hours before the vessel
docked thousands of people gathered
to welcome the fortunate survivors of
the disaster and relatives assembled
to prove by sight the safety of their
loved ones. Others who were there
were impelled by a final hope that by
some miracle a father, a wife, a son
or a brother might have been over
looked in the preparation of the roster
of the saved.
When the big boat made fast a great
chc-er rose and by what seemed mutual
consent the crowds divided.*' forming a
line on either side of a narrow lane
through which the survivors walked
as they left the vessel. They were
seized as fast as they -were recognized
and smothered with hugs and kisses
and not a few tears found refuge on
the shoulders and breasts, as loved
ones were reunited.
DESCRIBES THE DISASTER
\ividly descriptive is the story of
the. Columbia wreck, told by W L.
Smith of this city. His narrative is
tn« bet=t connected and lucid of any
told, by 'survivors brought by the
etc&mer Elder. Smith, who is a strong
man. according to women on the Elder,
was the most energetic person on the
enip. aside from the officers.
Smith is one of the few people who
actually saw. the collision. , He paid:
