[FROM THE TRANSCRIPT EXTRA, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC, 22.] SAN Francisco, February 22nd,—Earlythis morning the Oriental passenger steamship Rio de Janerio loaded with a nuntber of discharged soldiers from the Philippines and many cabin passengers, struék a rock just outside of the Golden Gate and sank in a very few minutes. The ship’s crew worked heroically during the-short space of time. : The morning was very foggy and it is supposed:-the vesThe ship is entirely submerged. The ship sunk in twenty minutes after striking. Captain Ward, the vessel’s Master, was in the cabin at the time and went down with his ship. The total number of lives lost is not known at present. It is supposed there were.about three hundred passenf “s‘Consul Wildman and son of Hong Kong were-cabin passengers on the vessel, and are among the missing. Great’ excitement prevails in San Francisco, and “all available boats are putting-out to the scene of the disaster. FURTHER PARTICULARS. 3 e bss and a number of cabin pas * Pilot Jordan Tells of Disaster. San Francisco, February . 22.:—There ing the fate of Captain Ward. The Steward of the Rio says that he stood beside the Captain when the vessel went down. The other survivors say that they also saw the Captain, but Frederick Linstrum, the Quartermaster Officer of the Rio, emphatically declared that Captain Ward emulated Admiral Tryou of ber British Majesty’s ship Victoria in goi»g down to his vabin, where he met his doom behind a locked door. It is certain that Captain Ward was drowned, however. It is impossible to definitely ascertain how many lives were lost by the sinking of the Rio. The passenger list and the roster of the crew were in posses. sion of Purser, John Rooney, and he is nmong the missing. . From the stories told by the survivors of the calamity, all of which couflict more or less in detail, it is safe 'o presume that Pilot Jordan is the caly living person qualified to tell exsotly how . the catastrophe happened, and who is responsible for it. Captain Ward is dead, and between him and the pilot the ship'was steered to her doom. The pilot’s atory is to the effect that after the ship had entered the Heads and the fog enveloped her, he notified the Captain that it was unsafe to procved, but the latter ordered him to go ahead. The Captain’s order was obeyel. And therein the pilot confesses bimeelf at fault, for from the moment ihe ship was taken in hand by him his authcrity in all matters pertaining to ber navigation was supreme and he was solely rosponsible for her safety and the lives of the peuple aboard her. There is also conflict of statement as to the conduct of the officers and crew. Some people say that the oflicers and sailors were cool, and conscientiously endeavored to get out the boats and save as many passengers as possible, while others declare that as soon as the seriousness of the situation became apparent there was an end to discipline among the seaman, and that it was “every man for himself.” Captain Ward’s voice was heard sbove the din occasioned by screaming women and howling Ohinese, ordering his men to save the women. ee of the boats it was evidént that confusion prevailed, for one load of passengers and suilors were dumped into the sea. The first boat that got.“away. carried several of the ship’s officers, Another boat was impaled upon a spar as the men aboard it were trying to row it away from the suction caused by the sinking vessel. Four boats altogether were cleared from the davits, but so far.as can be learned, only one of them got. safely away and landed its passengers, Italiap fishermen rescued the others. The wreck lies about three-fourths ot a mile south of Fort Point and about a thousand yards off the rocky shore. Quartermaster Linstrum saysthe lead was carefully used while ‘the ship was coming in, and that the sonnding taken a moment before she struck showed a depth of water more than = . cufficient to flout.a vessel of double her [drawing capacity. Fog signals were : : ‘ Co: sivutly sounded and every possible pr cantion was token against accident, / Linst: um is at loss to account forthe chip getting so far away from the regular channel, st . Passenger Relates are several conflicting stories concern. K. Carpenter, a capitalist, residing in Oakland, was picked out of the water j His Experience. San Francisco, February 22 —James by one of the boats and brought to the mail dock. “I got up early this morning to see the ship pass in,” said Mr. Carpenter, “and was on deck when she struck, I did not know that anything unusual bad happened until I heard Captain Ward say: ‘For God’s sake, men, attend to the women first.’ “Then all became confusion. I secared a life preserver and jnmped overboard and floated until one of the boats picked me up. Consul Wildman And Family Last. San FRancisco, February 22 —The number of lives lost in the wreck of the Rio is variously estimated at 148. It is almost Positive that Consul Wildman, his wife and two children are among the number lost. Mrs Rounseville Wildman wife of Consul-General,Wildman, was the eldest daughter of the late Judge Aldrich, of this city. Her mother was a Miss Foote, sister to W, W.

It is reported vthat Captain Ward locked himself in bis stateroom, and went down with the vessel, The steamer is not entirely out of sight. Her -smokestacks and part of the pilot house are above water. On board the Rio were twenty-nine cabin passengers, 150 in the steerage and 140 in the crew. The bodies of four Chinese and two white women have been washed ashore. The Rio is now entirely under water: Any tangible estimate of the loss of life occasioned by the wrecking of the Rio is lacking. Owing to the fact that few of those who were rescued have reported and it is--believed’ that the number of lives lost will exceed 150. Bodies are conStantly being brought in from the vi, cinity of the wreck and it is feared that a large number went down with the Ship, imprisoned in the cabins or engulfed as she sank and caught in the rigging. + IN THE CHURCHES, Places of Worship Where You Will Be Welcome Tomorrow.CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

The pilot’s atory is to the effect that after the ship had entered the Heads and the fog enveloped her, he notified the Captain that it was unsafe to procved, but the latter ordered him to go ahead. The Captain’s order was obeyel. And therein the pilot confesses bimeelf at fault, for from the moment ihe ship was taken in hand by him his authcrity in all matters pertaining to ber navigation was supreme and he was solely rosponsible for her safety and the lives of the peuple aboard her. There is also conflict of statement as to the conduct of the officers and crew. Some people say that the oflicers and sailors were cool, and conscientiously endeavored to get out the boats and save as many passengers as possible, while others declare that as soon as the seriousness of the situation became apparent there was an end to discipline among the seaman, and that it was “every man for himself.” Captain Ward’s voice was heard sbove the din occasioned by screaming women and howling Ohinese, ordering his men to save the women. ee of the boats it was evidént that confusion prevailed, for one load of passengers and suilors were dumped into the sea. The first boat that got.“away. carried several of the ship’s officers, Another boat was impaled upon a spar as the men aboard it were trying to row it away from the suction caused by the sinking vessel. Four boats altogether were cleared from the davits, but so far.as can be learned, only one of them got. safely away and landed its passengers, Italiap fishermen rescued the others. The wreck lies about three-fourths ot a mile south of Fort Point and about a thousand yards off the rocky shore. Quartermaster Linstrum saysthe lead was carefully used while ‘the ship was coming in, and that the sonnding taken a moment before she struck showed a depth of water more than = . cufficient to flout.a vessel of double her [drawing capacity.

I secared a life preserver and jnmped overboard and floated until one of the boats picked me up. Consul Wildman And Family Last.

It is reported vthat Captain Ward locked himself in bis stateroom, and went down with the vessel, The steamer is not entirely out of sight. Her -smokestacks and part of the pilot house are above water. On board the Rio were twenty-nine cabin passengers, 150 in the steerage and 140 in the crew. The bodies of four Chinese and two white women have been washed ashore. The Rio is now entirely under water: Any tangible estimate of the loss of life occasioned by the wrecking of the Rio is lacking. Owing to the fact that few of those who were rescued have reported and it is--believed’ that the number of lives lost will exceed 150.
