PASSES CENsURE
UPON THE PILOT
Commission Ends In
quiry Into the ISL
ander Wreck.
Finds No Evidence That Dis
aster Was Due to Cap
tain's Drunkenness.

VICTORIA, B. c., fOct. 2S.-The Com
missioner and assessors appointed to in
quire into the loss of the steamer Islander
gave out their finding this morning. In
substance it is as follows:
That the Islander was wrecked on the nighs
of August 10. 1901, by contact with some
known substance presumably ice drift, very
much submerged. sinking in deep water in less
than twenty minutes after the collision and
suit1ng IN the loss OF life of master, sixteen OF
the crew and twenty-three passengers.
1t does not appear from the evidence that the
master realized the imminent danger in which
of prompt and resoIute means in arousfng the
crew and passengers, who asleep in the
cabins; in placing an officer and crew to each
DOat ana IN forcing the proper quota OF pas
sengers to each boat. The evidence clearly
shows the capacity of the boats was sufficient
to accommodate every person board but on
account of improper management and discipline
there was a rush to the boats at the last
moment, which was beyond the control OF the
few officers and members OF the crew engaged
IN getting the boats into the water, thereby
preventing the rescue of several valuable lives
While due praise must be awarded to those
OF the orhcerS and crew who remained on the
ship until she sank under their feet and for
assisting so many of the passengers to reach
the boats and other available means OF preser-
walton as presented themselves We cannot ig-
more the fact that there was an unDardona bic
laek or appreciation of existing danger TO their
fellow passengers shown by those in the boats
regarding the rescue Of others who for the
want OF an opportunity had not been able to
boats before they left the ships side. o''S '"s
We think that Pilot LIE Blanc is open to
censure for his action IN keeping the ship at
fulI speed-at the rate of nearly fourteen knots
hour-after seeing floating ice some ten
minutes before the accident: we would also con-.
waters in leaving the bridge of a steamer a.
night (and more especially a passenger steam

me t ais4 nnd that there is no evidence before
the intemperance OF the master or others.
