@ARLY in March laSt-ih TACT gun
day. March 3, at about o CLOCK
- in the afternoon-with the captain
IL on the bridge. at a point near
the Molina lighthouse of the Japa-
nese village of Shirahama the palatial
steamship Dakota suddenly struck upon
hidden reef and had to be abandoned.
A graphic account of the wreck taken
from the little Yokohama paper The
Weekly Box of Curios of March 0, 1907.
follows:
When on Monday morning the COM
munity learned that the fine steamship
Dakota belonging to the Great Northern
Steamship Company, had been wrecked on
the Osano reef off Shirahama, about fif-
teen miles to the eastward of the entrance
to Tokyo bay, the report could hardly be
believed for It seemed impossible, IN
broad daylight with the ship in charge of
so skiIlful a navigator as Capt. Francke,
that any conditions could arise that would
result In the magnificent liner becoming
wreck so near her journeys end. 1t was
soon learned that the report was true but
the difficulty of getting news from the
scene of the wreck gave the local Scam
dalmongers an opportunity to start re-
ports rejecting upon the captain. that con-
sisted all the way from his failure to do
his duty to his having committed suicide.
No more popular navigator has entered this
port and his many friends. who knew of
his proud record both on the Atlantic and
Pacific did not hesitate to defend him even
while they could not understand how it was
possible ne was hugging the coast so close
ly 1t was reported that he was not on the
bridge at the time, but the real facts are
that he had been at his post for over an
hour and was in full command during the
period mentioned though instead of being
such coward crazy enough to take his
life he was cool and collected until after
he had landed bis passengers and crew,
when lie collapsed under the great strain
his misfortune had caused
Like many of his friends. We did not
believe the reports that were published, and
we took the pains to send representative
to the scene of the wreck to get full par
ticulars and the real facts, as well as pho
tographs of the ship The latter were re-
ceived too late to reproduce in this issue,
but our artist sketched an outline of the
position the ship was above water and 1t
is from this that we have reproduced a
drawing showing the angle of the liner
and her position on the reef. Through the
kindness OF the first officer, A. Amman, we
have been able to correct any mistakes
made by our artist, and he has assured us
that We have produced a drawing that is
faithful In all the details. He also gave
us the soundings shown in the Illustration,
the same being made by him personally
The sensational and mixed reports of the
native press which have been more or less
copied by the local foreign press. have not
been at all satisfactory and as Mr. Amman
is an old friend of ours and kindly con-
scented to give us the facts, we feel sure
our report is a correct one. especially as
it has been verified by several Of the pas
sengers we have met. Mr. Amman states
that he was on duty until 1856 pm, when

parked on the Hakuai which arrived at
Yokohama about $50 Dam. the same day,
landing at the Hotoba about 10 o'clock,
from whence they proceeded to the various
hotels for accommodation.
Accusations of lootIng have been indig-
nantly denied by the Japanese and soma
of the local foreign press. but we are in
position to know that there was loot
ing, and serious looting. 1t has been
thought curious that the passengers have
had so little to say concerning the wreck.
but We understand that it was agreed they
would say nothing, as their reasons for
the cause of the stranding might be in
correct and unjustly condemn those re-
sponsible. In view of this, and the fact
that they were ignorant of the navigation
of the ship, their action Is commendable,
though unusual However. in regard to the
footing and rifiing of the mail bags
source of information is reliable, and from
residents of Yokohama who were the
scene. The assistance rendered by the
chief and police of Tateyama was invalu-
abe but they, together with the agents of
the company, were too occupied looking
after the passengers to pay much attention
to what was happening on the shore. A
resident informs us that he, with several
others, found letters strewed along the
beach, nearly all of them opened, and also
came across some fishermen trying to open
or pry open mail bag. This they Sc
cure" for thirty sen. 1t looked like a pay
ing proposition to the fishermen, who then
said that there were five more bags under
water among the rocks. They were told
to bring them ashore. but on wading out
to where they lay they expressed a desire
to know II they were to be remunerated.
The discussion that followed was inter-
rupted by the arrival of two policemen.
They agreed that the fishermen should be
rewarded, but when it was gently sug-
gested that the reward should come from
the authorities they decided the bags should
be brought ashore for nothing.
"In field beyond the rocks empty mail
bags were found with letters strewed about.
while important documents, insurance pol
icles and drafts were discovered in pools
of water. some being intact, others reduced
to almost pulp. The force of the waves
might break open the bags but not neces-
sarily the envelopes, nor the cutting open
of trunks be other than looting. One
trunk was found with the whole top cut out
and the contents missing, and If this is not
lootin& we fail to see what other term
would apply. The question of mail is an
important one, and, while the force of police
might have been inadequate at first to at
tend to every DETAIL we think the postal
authorities should have taken immediate
steps to get the mail. Thirty mail bags
out of 200 were first received, but We learn
that on the 9Th fifty more were washed
ashore.
