THE STEAMER ISLANDER.
Into Cause Of lis Loss Develops
Sensational Testimony.
Captain and Pilot Said 20 Have Been
Drunk No Life Preservers
Handy.

Victoria, p. c., Sept 25.-Evidence of
rather sensational character was
brought out at the enquiry into the
LOSE Of the steamer Islander. which
was continued this afternoon. DR.. A.
W Phillips, who lost his wife and
laughter In the disaster, said he could
Ind no life preservers In his state
room, and when he did find them in
Che cabin there was nobody TO assist
pr instruct them how to put them on.
He was not aroused, and only went out
because his wife heard a noise and was
uneasy. When they reached the deck
ali the boats and RATS had left, and
they were drawn down with the boat.
He came TO the surface again, but his
wife and daughter did not.
n w. q. Preston, also OF Seattle, testi-
Z He'd that the boat In which he left the
Ship only contained fourteen persons,
one Of whom was fireman. They did
not pick up others, as their boat was
leaking and they were not oarsmen.
The only indication that the captain
was intoxicated was his action In wav-
ing farewell TO some friends on the
wharf at Skaguay with his hands and
his actions In an argument.
+ No one seemed to have charge OF the
boats, but when he left the steamer
there seemed to be no more passengers
10 take away. II took the men about
1.-TWO minutes TO lower a boat. They did
hot seem TO understand II. In one boat
there were only seven men, and they
.all looked like members OF the crew,
one of them having uniform on. He
Judged they were members OF the crew.
because they had rough clothes on.
They may have been laborers or min
ers.
No one aroused the passengers and
no one ordered the boats to stand by.
He heard a man at the inquest at
Juneau give evidence to the effect that
y The pilot was drunk, and his wife re-
inarked as he came aboard the ship at
Skaguay that he looked as though he
had been drinking. Mrs. Preston tes-
tilted that the captain looked as though
he had been drinking.
Capt Mcleod, Of the steamer Dan
ube, testified that when running north
and thinking there is ice present, he
keejs lookout and when the weather
is thick two lookouts. Boat drills, he
said, are not generally practiced on
this coast.
Mace Green Of Tacoma swore POSI-
lively that the captain and pilot were
drunk. The captain was at the bar
for two hours. and he had seen him
take two drinks II all the boats had
not left the ship many more lives
would have been saved. Two Of the
tule life preseryers picked up after the
wreck had been weighed at Juneau,
and weighed forty-five and forty-six
pounds, respectively. The inquiry will
continue tomorrow.
