Henry Telgman, sometimes misspelled Helgman was a first-class passenger on the Valencia. He is a member of the firm of Telgman & Torka, manufacturers and repairers of scientific instruments at 116 Union Square Avenue. Telgman is unmarried and has been living at the St. James Hotel, but recently moved to another address. His partner, Frank Torka, said that Telgman went to Victoria on a business trip on behalf of the firm and expected to be gone some time. He says that Telgman is an athlete and expert swimmer, and that if he was not injured in the wreck he would have had no difficulty in reaching the shore. The Victoria Daily Colonist on February 24th, 1906 reported body number 13 was positively identified as Henry Helgman of San Francisco. The newspaper misspelled his name in their reporting.
