Ship Strikes Rocks on Mouett
Point. Heavy Fog Was
the Cause
Officers Investigate Craft Find Hole
in Her Hull Large Enough to Pass
a Bale of Hay Through - Passen-
gers Return to Seattle.

SEATTLE, Sept. 2o,-In fog 50
dense that objects few feet distant
were not visible, the steamer Hum
boldt, from Southeastern Alaska
points piled on the rocks on Mouett
Point on Pender Island, off Vancou-
yer Island coast. The entire passen-
ger list Of 38, who had boarded the
steamer in Seattle were transferred
to the shipping steamship Edith and
returned to Seattle tonight. The po-
sition Of the Humboldt, following the
severe damages sustained in ground
ing is such as to convince the officers
Of the Edith, that there is only
slight hope of saving the vessel
The entire stem and fore-shoe Of
the steamer was carried away and
the hole in her starboard bow is large
enough to pass a bale Of hay through,
which leaves the vessel at the mercy
of the tides.
The wireless equipment on board
the Humboldt permitted information
to be forwarded to Victoria within
few minutes after grounding. Ar
rangements were subsequently made
for sending salvage tugs and other
assistance from Victoria.
Captain Miller, master Of the yes
sci, states that an error in naviga-
ton which caused the grounding
could have been corrected by steering
the ship even a fraction Of a point
more westerly. This statement places
the responsibility for the wreck on
slight mis-adventure in navigation
that appears that is hardly censur-
able, considering the difficulties Of
locality and the heavy fog prevailing.
Although the position Of the craft
was such as to create the gravest ap-
prehension. the passengers who re-
returned tonight state through the
encouragement given by the officers
of the craft but little excitement pre-
vailed.
