AFRAID SHE WOULD SINK
Government Has Not Yet Fathomed the
s Loss Of the Princess.

e = .-.- "a
Special to The Journal.
West Selkirk, Man, Sept. 1.-THE
inquest on the body Of John Einarson,
one Of the five persons on board the
steamer Princess, which foundered in
lake Winnipeg on Aug. 26, is still
dragging along, but with little or no
result so far as ascertaining the real
cause for the loss Of the vessel.
Mrs. Halves, widow Of Captain Rob
ert Halves who was drawned, with the
stewardesses, Flora Mcdonald and Yo-
ba johnson, testified that Captain
Halves had often told her he was afraid
to 20 out on the Princess, but he did
not tell her why. Many witnesses have
given evidence as to the storm and the
following incidents, but the reason for
the sinking of the ship, whether she
struck rock or was simply racked to
pieces by the fury Of the storm, still
remains mystery.
The Dominion government has insti-
tuted inquiry into the matter, and Cap
tain Spain arrived from Ottawa on
