that the ship that disappeared had be-
come disabled in the storm OF the
previous night, and with shifted
cargo and heavy sea going, was sud
denly engulfed before those aboard
hardly knew Of their danger.
The weather was simply so bad out
side the night OF the 29th and morn
ing OF the 30th that a vessel could not
make any headway, and they were
not making above mile an hour. AS
the storm abated the schooner Fanny
Dutard trimmed her sails to the south
ward, and in ii days made the port of
Santa Barbara, Cal, discharged her
cargo and put back to the Sound, ar
irving at Port Townsend in 10 days
There she anchored for Il short time
and hauled over to Port Blakeley
Wednesday.
1t appears that Captain Peterson
had not heard that the Ivanhoe was
overdue, and probably lost, until he
got back to Port Blakeley when, hear
ing it spoken Of, at once connected
her withsthe ship he saw founder at
sea.
On the way up the Fanny Dutard
was struck by heavy squall and her
main gaff and main boom were carried
away.
The coal ship Ivanhoe left Seattle
in tow of a tug on the 9th of the
month OF September. She was dropped
off the Cape on the following day, and
that was the last seen of her.
The Fanny Dutard, instead of tow.
ing, sailed out and did not reach the
cape till the 29th. one day later than
the day the Ivanhoe is reported to
have been cast off by the tug Tyee.
A storm is reported to have arisen the
evening Of the 2Sth off the cape, and
the Ivanhoe must have been unable
to make any headway against it and
remained close reefed not far off the
cape.
Captain Peterson had no means of
knowing If the vessel he saw on the
afternoon and night OF the Goth was
the same that was near him on the
morning of the 3Oth, but the presump-
ton is that it was one and the same
ship, and that ship must have been
the Iv. nhoe. She was full rigged
vessel without distinguishing features.
On the 9th of October or near that
date inbound vessels ran into wreck
age off Cape Flattery. 1t was reported
it was thought that it might be the
bark Oregon, which was off the cape
about that time, but this was dis
proved by that vessel coming in all
right.
On October 13 or IA the five-masted
schooner Lewis arrived at Astoria
from San Francisco, and reported
having passed through . considerable
quantity of wreckage 40 miles south
west OF the lightship at the mouth Of
the Columbia river. The wreckage
WAS in tho shape of large, yellow
painted mast, such as the Ivanhoe
had in her, and partly rigged with
spars.
A coal vessel bound from Nanaimo
for San Francisco, and which arrived
at the latter port about the middle OF
October, reported having sighted
wreckage near Cape Flattery, on the
passage down, in the shape of white
panels with yellow painted frame
work. This wreckage answered to
part of the works of the Ivanhoe's
house.
An inbound steamship during the
latter part of October reported, after
arrival, having ran close upon piece
of wreckage in the shape of glass
paneled door to q book case. The
coal ship Ivanhoe is reported to have
had . book case in her cabin with
glass doors toit.
The Ivanhoe carried q crew OF 70,
were all shipped from San Francisco,
and were as follows: Captain F.. ID.
Griffin, Mates James J. Toohig, C. H.
Christensen, Carpenter William Aneo-
lin, two Chinese cooks, Sailors Hans
Stevenson, M. Stewart. Frank Zarino,
H. Johnson, E. Loweworth, George
Oerdner, Samuel Harp, J. ]. Ohames-
son, M. C. Gunderson, Lennart Holm,
w. Herman, John Anderson, Martin
Jacobson. The passengers aboard the
vessel were Honorable Frederick J.
Grant, Allen P. Folger and two ladies,
Mrs. Mamie L. Bara and her friend,
Mrs. DIR. Irene Mullen. In addition to
these there was a stowaway on board
by the name of Edward Allardyce,
who had people living in San Fran
cisco.
The fate Of the Ivanhoe is doubly
sad from the presence OH board OF so
many persons other than those of the
ships crew. Captain Griffin was q
we'll respected and widely known ship
master, and his fate will be mourned
from California to Puget Sound. The
Black Diamond coal company's mana
ger here speaks OF him in the highest
terms OF praise, and the same reports
come from San Francisco. He was a
comparatively young man, but had
been many years in the service as
master of ships. He had been on
board the Ivanhoe for five or six years,
and succeeded Captain Carter, now
mate aboard the steamship Faralion.
Frederick ]. Grant was most init
mately associated with the interests of
Seattle, and will be widely and deeply
mourned by this community. He
was comparatively young man, be-
ing but 32 years of age. He was born
in the town OF GAINESVILLE, after which
he took course in the Lafayette
College, Easton, Pa. graduating from
there in the fall of 1883.
Mr.. Grant had always entertained a
