IN THE TRACK OF LINERS
FATAL CHANGING OF COURSE
BY THE oUARTERMASTER.

Victoria, B. =, Aug. 21.-Mate Ne
rCutsos of the ill-fated steamer Island
er this morning filed with Captain
Gaudin, local agent of the Dominion
marine and fisheries department Tor
mai report of the disaster upon which
an inquiry will be held. This report
is practically a request for an inquiry
and contains no new details beyond
giving the exact spot where the snip
went down and an estimate OF the loss
OF life and the number saved he es-
Inmates that the number lost was forty
two and the number saved 14o- Inc
exact spot Of the wreck is given as
Point Hilda, six and a quarter miles
w BY s. three-quarterS 5. magnetic
Some interest has been manifested IN
the course which was followed on the
fatal morning. and in this connection
il is worthy of note that the pilot 1Oi-
lowed the Identical course upon which
she sailed on the previous trip. A com
parisOn instituted with the log OF Cap
tair FOOte on the prior trip SHOWS
that there was no deviation WhateVef.
The quartermaster, a moment BEFORE
the collision, had put bis wheel over
one point, as on scanning the canal IN

cape. Had the Islander held on her
way for three minutes longer she would
have probably cleared the obstacle
which sent her forty fathOms deep
In connection with this same matter
an interesting story was told by one
OF the passengers by the captain Of
the Juneau steamer FlOSSle, Which
subsequently rescued the survivors
He says that the FlOssie passed over
the same waters as that in which the
Islander was wrecked. early in the af-
ternoon preceding the catastrophe
They were looking for large bergs.
when suddenly they saw right ahead
a lOw-lying one, with its surface
little more than flush with the surface
of the sea. The course of the Flossie
was altered Just in T1fne to save her
from contact with the submerged
mountain
One of the officers afterwards re-
marked to the captain what a perilous
thing il constituted. lying right in the
track of the Skagway liners, and pre-
dicted thatit would bring some of them
to grief Hardly discernibIe in day
light, it would be absolutely invisible
at night
1t is the opinion of northern navi-
gators that the berg which caused the
destruction of the Islander was prob
ably the same as seen by the officers
of the FlOssie, as these huge ice noun
tains often linger in tle[ s'ssne locality
for days drifting backward and for
ward with the tides.
