The San Francisco call., 1898-01-29

fore the Corona went on the run. She left here on November on her first run. She wa thus practically the successor of the Mexico, and both VeS- sells shared the same misfortune. Since the Corona made her first run on NO vember 6 she made five round trips and was on her sixth trip north when lost.
 The Corona was built in 1888 at Phil adelphia for Neafe 6 Levy at cost of about s2OO.OOO. In that same year she was purchased by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, and brought around to the Pacific Coast. For a number of years she was oper- ated between San Francisco and San Diego. Last year she made one trip to Alaska. but the remainder of the time she was in the California service.
 The dimensions of the Corona were as follovs:, Length over all, 23O feet; beam. 34 feet inches; registered ton nage, 1892 gross, 966 net; schooner rig, steel, 3S staterooms, IA berths; could carry 220 passengers. She had triple expansion engines, 1440 horsepower four marine boilers, eight furnaces. Her average speed was twelve knots. She was valued at $175,000 and was well insured.
 Had the Corona returned safely from her last trip it was the intention to send her south and put the large steamer Queen on the Alaska run. This makes the third steamship lost between Seattle and Juneau, Alaska. The first to go down was the Willapa, on March g, 1897, and the Mexico was lost on August 5, 1897.
