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.
