Seattle, Wash, Aug 2O.-J. T. Sny-
der, a resident of Juneau. arrived on
the steamer Farallon to-day from Ju-
neau. Mr.. Snyder was on the lost
steamer Islander, was in the water
three hours, clinging to a raft and was
finally picked up unconscious. He left
the boat half a minute after the cap
tain jumped overheard and they both
held on to the same raft for fully half
an hour. In conversation, the captain
said he could not understand why the
boat went down so quickly. The cap
tain finally said:
Boys, l cannot stand it any longer"
and, casting his life preserver away.
at once sank. At the inquest held at
Juneau, which Mr.. Snyder attended,
evidence developed which may tend to
excuse the captain for not beaching the
steamer at once. Mr. Snyder said:
THE pilot testified that he was on
the bridge and that as soon as she
struck he told the captain he was going
to beach her, but the captain said:
No, there is. better place about
three miles from here, and she will
easily float that long
THE testimony showed that there
was a stowaway in the forward water
tight compartment. When the vessel
struck the water rushed in on him and
he set up a big howl and being immedi-
ately under the sailors quarters, one
of them thoughtlessly rushed down and
opened the apartment, which allowed
the sea to come rolling into the hold,
carrying the body of the stowaway and
the sailor with it. This was done with
out the captains knowledge, and l
think excused him for thinking the ves-
sci would float several hours, which it
would have done had the watertight
compartment not been opened, and he
could have beached her in small bay
about three miles away. 1t was es-
tablshed that if the pilot had car
ried out his intentions he could have
gotten her on the beach without the
loss of any lives except the stowaway."
