SURVIVORS, STORIES.
Pilot Believes But for Panic All
Would Have Been Saved.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 19-Pilot La
Blanc, who had charge of the steamer
Islander at the time she struck, says:
''The night was fine and as we all
expected to meet ice, a sharp lookout
was kept. About 2:48 a. m. the
crash came. The boat was under full
speed and no ice was in sight, and
there was no fog, but the wind was
blowing and it was dark and cloudy.
The fatal berg was no doubt even
with the water. After she struck |
stopped the engines, when Captain
Foote appeared with the night watch
man who reported the ship leaking
forward. told Captain Foote that we
would better head for the beach, but
he demurred and when he decided
to do so the ship was taking water
so fast that she would. not answer
her helm. Then called the mate and
ordered the boats This was done and
they were lowered with passengers.
Many passengers jumped overheard
with life preservers. / jumped over
board and was in water two hours
and a quarter before securing piece
of wreckage."
The pilot also said that many Of
the men acted badly, attempting to
Jump into the boats before they had
been launched Had it not been for
this crowding and rushing he thinks
all would have been saved, with the
possible exception of those who did
not get out of their staterooms,
amos '-~~, were Andrew Keating
and his two sons, arthur and Julius,
Of Los Angeles. e.
The crew, on the other hand, >be-
haved splendidly and looked to the
safety of the passengers. After the
boats had been launched the crew
turned their attention to the RATS,
but these were also rushed and after
they had been launched some of the
crew had to swim for wreckage as
there were too many for the RATS.
He believes the vessel sunk il %
fathoms, and that the boiler did not
explode but that the woodwork was
carried away by rush Of water and
air He figures AZ persons were drown

CAPTAIN FooTE DROWNED.
Remained With Vessel Until the Last
Chance of Escape Was Gone

Seattle, Aug. ia special to the
Times from Victoria, B. e., says:
The steamer Queen left for Seattle
at 9 o'clock, carrying a number of
survivors Of the wreck, and Farrallon
is expected soon. Purser Bishop is
expected on Farrallon with additional
list of dead.
The death of Captain Foote was
very pathetic. He remained on the
bridge until the steamer was founder
ing. When the vessel commenced to
sink and it was seen there was no
earthly expedient that could avail the
captain, it is said, jumped onto a life
raft which was already taxed for ac-
commodations. Realizing that his
weight would work havoc there, he
exclaimed: 'I see there are too
many here, so good bye, boys" and
swan away. He was shortly after
ward seen to sink.
Chief Engineer Brownlee had a
miraculous CSCdpC. liz was AOAS'~p
andswas awakened by Third Engineer
Allen ringing his bell. He ran to
the engine room. There two fremen
died heroes soon after he arrived.
They were ordered to close top
Wheel and shut off water which was
rushing from forward part Of the yes
sci. They tried to do so and were
drowned. Brownlee went down with
the steamer, he was standing on the
upper deck holding the top rail when
the steamer went down. He rose
from the whirlpool and grasped some
wreckage. DIR. Phillips Of Seattle
came up after him and together they
clung to the wreckage until they
were picked up. Among those known
to be safe are F. Didish, Racine, Wis.,;
R. M. Wright, Willows, N. D.; Judge
Morgan, insurance agent, Winnipeg,
and George S. Spence, Steward, S. D.

On trying to open the door of his
stateroom he was unable to do SO.
Mr.. Ray tried and was also unsuc-
cessful. The concussion had evident
ly jammed the framework of the cab
in, which caught the doors. Mr.. Bel
court and Mr.. Ray got out of the win
dow. The former returning to pro-
cure life preservers but failing to find
one Immediately got out again and
getting upon railing Of the steamer
instantly jumped to boat that he
saw below. He was one of the last
men to leave the steamer and not
more than a few minutes elapsed
from the time he got out of his cabin
until he made the leap in the dark.
Fortunately he alighted on the should.
ers of one Of the passengers in tie
last boat to leave the steamer
Messrs. Belcourt and Ray were in
the small boat one hour and half
before reaching shore, which, how
ever, was not more than mile away,
but owing to fog could not be, made
out.
The case of Mrs. Ross is peculiar
" sad one. She left Vivtoria short
time ago to join her husband, who
was recently appointed governor of
the Yukon territory. She was max.
ing the trip to purchase furniture and
furnishings for the new home of the
governor. She left five of her chill
dren in Dawson and brought the
youngest, an infant, with her, togeth-
er with niece, the daughter of her
brother living in Dawson.
One Of the best known of those
who met their doom, was John Duncan,
OF Victoria, who had just completed
trip to Dawson, where he had gone
on an extended business and pleasure
expedition. His brother, DR.. George
Duncan, has been in Dawson some
time, and the trip was undertaken
partly for the purpose Of visiting hin,
According to stories told by some
of the passengers, the proportion Of
the women saved was small. When
the survivors we're brought ashore
some of them were so numb and dis
heartened and had so little life left
in them that they begged to be left
alone, or left to their death,

New Explosive Adopted.

Maximite, the new explosive invented
by Hudson Maxim, has been adopted by
this country after series of successful
tests which We're completed at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds, says the Press
The secret of the explosive has been sold
to the government by the inventor, and
the explosive itself is expected to revolu-
tionize warfare. 1t is more deadly in its
character than lyddite, yet so safely can
it be handled that the danger attaching to
its use is less than that incurred in trans
porting ordinary black powder
The tests made thus far have been so
satisfactory that naval officers believe
the day of the big battleship is passing
because the explosive will pierce y
inch Haryeyized nickel steel armor plate
and having passed through 1t, will eX-
plode on the other side with sufficient
power to destroy everything with which
1t comes in contact. Never before has
a plate of this strength and thickness
been pierced
The results far surpass anything here
tofore attained in any country and the
opinion is expressed by experts that 1t
may revolutionize the building of battle
ships and Notifications.

The baccalaureate sermon before
the graduating class was preached Ut
7.3O o'clock Sunday evening in the
First Baptist church by Rev. F. H.
Marble, Phi. D., the pastor. The SER
vices in the other churches that even
ing were given up and the congrega-
tions Joined in this part of the com
mencement exercises. The ministers,
besides Mr.. Marble, who participated
in the service, were Rev. r. f. Lowe,
Rev. II. r. Miles, Rev. r. K. Marvin
and Rev. E. Q. S. Osgood. Above the
platform was the class motto: AT the
Threshold" and the front of the plat
form and pulpit was covered with
handsome decorations of palms, ferns,
hemlock and st. Peters wreath.
Prof. F. G. F. Cramer was the organlst
and Arthur L. Maynard rendered a
solo. The members of the class, the
teachers. and the school board occu-
pied pews in the body of the church.
DR.. Marbles text was Proverbs
tx. 10: "The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom" and his theme
was: "The Beginning of Wisdom.
He spoke to the members of the class
as being about to throw off their lead
ing strings, so to speak, and to go out
into the world. "One thing remains
for you to learn" he said, land that
is how to work out the daily problem
of living. The solution of this prob
lem demands a certain amount of wis
dom" The speaker then drew care
full, interesting and Illuminating distinc-
ton between wisdom and knowledge.
It is facts rather than wisdom that is
gotten in the school, but the posses
sion of facts is not as essential as the
possession of a trained mind Knowl-
edge, until it is fashioned and put in
place. does but cucumber. Knowl-
edge has wisdom potentially in 1T,
but wisdom is not revealed until
knowledge is put to proper use.
If we expect to be wise we must
have a true philosophy of life, rev.
erence for the truths of life and
recognition of God. Who starts out
without recognizing God will be very
far from wisdom in the end. God is
the explanation of our being. The
acceptance of Jesus Christ is essen
tial to wisdom. We must get our
view of life from His point of view.
The speaker then took up the subject
of the fruitage of wisdom, the effect
of wisdom upon ones life, showing
the advantage of a right start. If we
know the issue is safe we may run
with speed.

beautiful, more Christlike, more d.
vine.
The closing numbers of the pro-
gram included a brace of orchestra
pieces by Victor Herbert, the singing
of the class ode, the pronouncing of
the benediction by Mr.. Marvin, and
a postude by the orchestra. The
work of the orchestra throughout the
evening was characterized by a finesse
such as would be expected from only
much more pretentious organizations,
and the value of it's music in lending
a charm to the entire program cannot
be overestimated. Following is the
class roll:

gram was by Miss Grace A. Bailey,
who also designed the cover for the
reception program. 1t represented a
| Grecian woman at threshold and had
a conventionalized border of the class
flower. the violet, fastened at the top
with the class pin.

ment week will be the annual recep-
ton of the graduating class, at the
