A Prospecting Party
The Jane Gray's passengers were pros
pectors, with the exception Of Rev. V. c.
Gambell, a missionary, who, with his wife
and child was on his way to st. Lawrence
Island in the Behring sea. He refused to
place his wife and child on board the
launch, saying: 1.-The vessel is doomed and
we will die together"
Among the prospectors was party of
sixteen headed by Major Ingraham, who
were QUILTED by Prince Luigi of Italy for
two years prospecting trip in Alaska
OF this party the only survivors are Major
Ingraham, L. M. Lessey, c. H. Packard
and G. H. Pennington.
The surviving passengers suffered
great deal of privation, and for thirty
hours their only food was a sack of prunes
and sack of turnips from the ships stores.
Sufficient water was caught by spreading
a tarpaulin during a rain storm. The news
of the disaster and the expected arrival of
the survivors from Victoria caused large
crowd to gather at the dock in this city.
Carriages were waiting, and when the City

of the wreck:

were running high. I had gone to bed and
was sound asleep when the Waterman
awakened me with the announcement that
something was wrong. I arose at once and
found the vessel leaking. A hurried inves-
tigation showed that she would soon sink
and at once notified the passengers Of the
situation. Most of them were asleep I'M
derneath the deck. A scene Of confusion
then took place, and 1t is impossible to give
any detailed account Of the events that
followed. The darkness added to the con-
fusion. The Jane Gray carried two life
boats and two launches at once ordered
the boats lowered. The first lifeboat was
swamped. The launch Kennoms, belonging
to the Ingraham party, was successfully
lowered.
Eat this time the Jane Gray was almost
under water. There was no time to launch
other boats. The water was over her
matches and everyone below was certainly
drowned. Those on deck hurriediy got In
