CORDETT and
SULLIVAN READY

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Feb. 29.--
Though overshadowed In measure by the
coming Britt-Corbett fight, the contest to-
night between the featherweight champion
and Dave Sullivan is attracting keen at
tention in sporting circles. The result
means a great deal to "Young Corbett."
Not only is his championship title at stake,
but in the event of defeat his contest with
Britt viii be called off and in addition he
will lose the $500 forfeit he has posted
for the match.
Competent ring critics. however do not
anticipate any such result as the defeat
of the champion. With no disposition TO
underrate Sullivan's fighting qualities there
is none among close followers of the game
who predict victory for him. The bet
ting odds are overwhelmingly in favor of
young Corbett." Sullivan, at best, is
held as a second-rate, and about the cafes
and other resorts where sporting men CON
gregate today the speculation is wholly as
to the number of rounds the Eastern lad
will be able to stay against the champion.
The Yosemite club, under whose auspices
the mill will be pulled off, expects big
crowd to be on hand for the bout. Undc
the articles of agreement the two will
weigh in at 1870 pounds at o'clock this
evening. The fight is limited to twenty
rounds.

and | do not think that four minutes
elapsed before there was water from sew
eraI lines of hose on the fire. There was
no excitement or confusion.
LOWERS THE BOATS.
"When Captain Cousins appreciated the
magnitude of the disaster he ordered all
the boats on the weather side lowered,
and the ships position changed so that
the wind, which was blowing strong from
the southwest, would not fan the flames.
Later, when it seemed as if the davlts
would Burn. he ordered all the boats low

at was. I think, little after o'clock
when the first three boats were sent over
the side. The first, filed with women
and children and manned by only enough
of the crew and male passengers to in
sure its being properly handled, was lost
by getting under the stern of the Queen
and capsizing. All were saved from this
one with the exception of Miss Steiner.
The second boat capsized in the lowering
of it. There were no passengers on board
of it at the time, and it was fortunate
that this was so, for the four men COM
prising the crew were all lost. -Four boats
were launched from the windward side,
manned by officers and members of the
crew. and it was these boats that saved
from drowning the passengers of the small
boat which was capsized at the stern OF
the Queen. Two life-rafts were also thrown
overheard for the use of any of the passen-
gers of the small boats that might be
thrown into the water.
DISCIPLINE WAS PERFECT.
'eWhen the boats were lying to in the
vicinity of the Queen, awaiting the out
come of the battle with the flames, the
crew and passengers who had remained on
board worked splendidly. Without ex
ception all did as they were told, and
saw no unusual excitement manifested al
any stage of the proceedings. / have new

maritime disasters of modern time It
would have spread to the men, work would
have been practically abandoned, and all
the fearful sights known in fire at sea
would have been witnessed by us. You
can quote me as saying that L consider
that the entire affair was managed as
well as it possibly could have been. In
fact, if it happened all over again and we
were entirely prepared for it, I, if in
charge of the vessel, would order things
done just as they were done on Saturday
morning"
SEATTLE, Feb. 29.-Miss Anna Maud
Steiner, one of the two women lost in
the Queen disaster met death under par
ticularly sad circumstances. She made a
heroic struggle for life, but the odds were
too great
Miss Steiner and her brother, Joseph
Steiner, survivor, were in the boat that
capsized. They were thrown into the
water together, each having a life-preserv-
err on, and were floating about in company
for fully ten minutes, so the brother says.
Then heavy sea rolled in and separated
them. Young Steiner never saw his sister
dItef tndI. "A moment before tnelr sep
aration the young woman looked appeal
ingly at her brother and called Joe"
That was the only time he heard his sister
speak.
BROTHER MAKES STATEMENT.

Steiner said:

The Queens first mishap was in 1883,
when in dense fog she stranded on the
Columbia river bar. She had large
crowd of passengers aboard, but these
were gotten ashore safely. Later she

powerful machinery and was found prac-

most of the unfortunates.
The steamship Queen is one of the best
known vessels on the Pacific, having been
on every run from San Diego to Nome
She has had somewhat checkered career
and is considered by waterfront frequent,
ers as a hoodoo. q
She was built by the Cramps in 1882, and
came to the Pacific the same year. Cap
tain E. Alexander, her first master and
long in command of her, brought the yes
sci around, running the Straits of Ma
gellan. She was placed on the San Fran
CISCO Portland run, and later piled between
San Francisco and San Diego.
Leaving that route, she came to Puget
Sound, and after long service as coast
liner the company placed her on the South
eastern Alaska run. She was popular al
an Alaska excursion vessel, and each sum
mer made three or four trips, carrying
large crowds Of Eastern tourists. On hel
excursion runs she would make all of the
nrinpina1 Doints of interest in Southeast
ern Alaska. Thousands Of Eastern men
including many distinguished men and wo
men, have beheld the remarkable beau
ties of Muir glacier from her decks. She
conveyed the late Viee-President Steven

men of the nation to Alaska.
