Ill-Fated Passenger Returns.

Waco, Texas, Sept. 13.--Miss Nannie McLennan, who was one of the passengers on
the ill-fated boat Columbia when it collided with the San Pedro off the coast of
San Francisco two months ago, has just returned home, having spent the time in
Vancouver, H. C. Miss McLennan escaped by catching a plank after the boat
sank and she remained on it for an hour, being picked up by a life boat.
Her account of the affair is thrilling in
the extreme, as she faced death twice during the night. She is being given
a warm reception by her Waco friends.
