MARK HANNA ROCK GONE
Stood on Victoria Shore and Was a
Gravestone for Many Lost
Vessels
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VICTORIA. y. c., Nov. 30.-Notifi-
cation has been sent by Lightkeeper
Daykin Of Cape Carmanah TO the resi-
dent agent of the department Of ma
rine that Mark Hanna" rock, other
wise known to navigators of the North
Pacific as one OF the many marine
gravestones that decorate the western
seaboard OF Vancouver island, has
strangely disappeared.
The rock until very recently reared
30 feet above the water, near Bonilla
point, or Carmanah, the Canadian
sentinel at the entrance OF the straits
Of San Juan de Fuca, opposite Cape
Flattery, on the American shore.
The rock was named for the Ohio
statesman and Republican organizer
by Lightkeeper Daykin, because of the
remarkable likeness it's contour bore to
a facial silhoutte Of the late American
senator. Apart from this distinguish
able feature. however there was an
other peculiarly about Mark Hanna
rock which in earlier time might have
invested It with superstitious dread. 1t
is said that 1t possessed a remarkable
magnetic power. for on It's rugged and
storm-beaten base many a vessel has
pounded to destruction.
But the rock is no more. 1t was de-
stroyed some weeks ago In the seis-
mic and electrical disturbance felt in
slight degree here and to a greater
extent at Nanaimo. 1t was noticed,
blacked and grim, rearing itself
through the storm in the afternoon pre-
ceding the shake In the morning
Lightkeeper Daykin observed with
amazement that the sea broke unruf-
fed where it had lifted itself from the
deep. ..
The question isonow being debated
among local scientists whether or not
the strange magnetic force, said to be
property of the rock. had aught to
do with it's final demolition.
