The first -rl 'comprehensive narrative of the wreck Df the Spanish steamer Santa Isabel, in .h.lch than 200 persons perished, was given today to the Associated Frtffjs by pero Fal', a pilot living-M ';-". feuenos Alre vho :a (a passenger aboard the vessel vith his wife p4 - the latter's brother, Luis Malde. They -ware returning M Argentina. vv "We werp asleep rhen accident ' -.Jiappened.'f said.'Fal. "The shock . awoke' the passengers who immedi f 'ii'tjely' tbre"v cntbipsr around , themselves ai4 rushed, to the jfecks. We found people dashing hither and thither and the waves sweeR.injj over the decks, r. "Thv captain tried to calm the pas sengers, but without success. Boats ' were torn from their davits, and soon the electric lights failed owing to the flooding, of the machine room, when ' the engineer 'opened the valves to avoid an explosion. The wireless op 1 ST tor 'was thus unable .to reDly t 'inquiries relative po the posaftipn Of ' ..v . f Via ttoaniflr. "The obscurity and fo'g increased the panic. The mPtain ordered the launching of boats. me- istana ui ' Salvor was pply 300 yards away. At that moment ,the main mast broke, -.killing many, wh,U others threw them selves into the sea. " . "On the first attempt to launch the beats, the .crew made a rush for them ''and . succeeded in gettjng" one away, - Jiwhich only the first pfficer. the doc tor, the chaplain, he supercargo npd one of th crew embarke4. The rno-i ment H touched the wafer it was1 ;srna$hed Oh the rocks, and all i;u it were drowned. "Afiw mjp.utes, later the passengers launched wq boats, the members of thp crew hjavjpg scattered and giving no heed tP the captain's orNr, .These '. boatf were overturned. Then the. re 'msiining boat got away after terrible .Bti-uggie for a, place in it. It carried o st the passengers, but soon capsized. 'A, number of the occupants, however, 'succeeded in reaching galvora. . "J, with my wfe an& Malde, re 'mained with the children and 30 others pn the forward deck, which was still put of water. The cold was intense "and the cries of the dr-jwninr " were 'beard all around, We remained thus 'until o'eloek Sunday morning, v when ;we saw the steamer Caoo Triana pass ing nearby. We made signels by burn- ing papers with gasoline lighters, put 'apparently were not seen. - Some moments ' later an enormous wave washed everybody overboard, separating me from my wife, whom : however, I found In the water. I am a powerful swimmer and secured a floating plank, which I fixed under my wife's arms. I remained in the, water , . for "several hours, when a fishing boat 'containing three rowers picked us up. ' A few hours later boats began arriv ing from JUbeira, and we were taken aboard, bruised from head to foot. "I lost all the money I bad, and also ; 1,500 gold pases which I had left rwith the supercargo. The captain of the vessel was an extremely skilltul A-seaman. He look every precaution vrhen the tog started, ad steamed :"d-cad: slow It was th mountainous xseas that drove the vessel towards the .cliffs." Among the rescued was a Chilean priest, Antonio Garcia Deez. The captain of the Cabo Iriana has been M'.aced under "larresc for not emg to "the assistance of the Santa Isabel. He admits that he saw the cignals, 'but, , instead of reporting fhis on his arrival in port, fie went to bed nd said nQth- ing about , the matter until the next ; morning.
