Pedro’s Master Re
fused to Take Wo
men and Children.
Ban Francl«co, July 24.—After the
tales of heroism surrounding the Co
lumbia wreck—the glorious death of
Captain Doran nnd the self-abnegation
of the girl Maybelle Watson—comes
the other side of the disaster.
A charge of gross Inhumanity and
the sacrince of many lives has formally
been made against Captain Hansen, of
the San Pedro, by the third officer,
Robert Hawse, of the Columbia. It has
been made to Local Inspector Boles and
Is part of the record of the United
States.
This fearful charge Is calmly made
under oath by Third Mate Hawse. He
said to Captain Boles that he brought a
boat of rescued passengers up to the
Kan Pedro and requested that they be
taken care of. He declares that he
was met wjth a refusal to receive any
more of the Columbia's passengers.
Wouldn’t Tske Women.
"I repeatedly asked them to take the
women—one ot whom was half naked
and dellrloufS," says Hawse, In his
sworn statement. Such an appeal
would ordinarily be supposed to melt a
heart of bronze, but Hawse declares
that the man In command of the San
Pedro refused to shelter any more pas
sengers of the sinking Columbia.
Then comes the fenrful accusation:
•’.'f the San Pedro had taken the
passengers 1 could have saved many
more lives."
Hawse says his boat was so full he
feared to take any more In It lest It be
swamped. lie saw many more men
and women struggling In the water and
all he needed was his empty boat to go
to their assistance.
Contempt for Men.
But Third Officer Hawse does not
stop with his charge against Captain
Hansen. He has ja sea dog's contempt
for the men whom he rescued In his
boat and who did not show any evi
dence of chivalry in the hour of hero
ism. One of the four women he had'
picked up was out of her head. All
the women were scantily attired, but
three of them were heroines and Hawse
In his sworn statement says:
"1 desire to speak In the highest
terms of praise In regard to the three
noble women, and In lowest terms of
contempt for the men passengers who
would not Inconvenience themselves to
make the lot of the women more com
fortable.”
Pedro's Captain In Bed.
And then comes a tribute all around
to the man who was on hla bridge when
passing through a fog and not In bed,
as was Captain Hansen. This tribute
comes from all sides to Captain Peter
Doran, who did everything that a man
could to save the passengers and then
went down with his ship to death rath
er than crowd one of his passengers
from a life boat or a raft.
In Eureka Captain Hansen and his
men are trying hard to put the blame
on Captain Doran and the Columbia.
But along the water front In Bon Fran
cisco the sea-faring men have figured
that If the first story told by the sur
viving officers of both the San Pedro
and the Columbia were true, the San
Pedro never should have crashed Into
the Columbia, because the tendency
would have been to swing clear.
A revised list of the passengers
shows 108 saved and 17 missing. Of
the officers nnd crew, 40 were saved
and 16 are missing. This makes a total
of 93 unaccounted for.
