SEATTLE, June 2S. - The Pacific Coast Steamship Companys Southeast Alaska liner Curacao, Capt. William Thompson, struck an uncharted rock near Warm Chuck, on the west coast of Prince of Wales island at eight O. clock Saturday morning, and is to- tai wreck. No lives were lost, though several narowwly escaped. After strik- ing. the Curacao headed for the beach at Swift's canneay, which it reached just before the water reached the main deck line of the ship. The boats had been put over the side, and the last passenger was put off as the vessel settled to the bottom. The passen' gers were conveyed to Ketchikan by the United States survey steamer eGd' ney.
 The Curacao had made only two ports after leaving Ketchikan. She had a heavy cargo of freight for can

LONGEST DAY HAS
 COME AND GONE

Saturday was the longest day of the year. The sun reached the Tropic of Cancer shortly before noon-Juneau time-on that day, and then turned it's face toward the south for it's half year journey toward the Tropic of Cap ricorn. It was just one minute past s o'clock Saturday afternoon, Washing ton time, when the sun reached it's northernmost point. Juneau is some minutes in excess of four hours West of Washington, hence it was little before lo oon at Juneau when the sun was nearer to the city than it will be again for year.
 In Europe and all points four hours or more east of Washington, the long est day was Sunday, June P.
 The summer solstice will occur something more than six hours later in the year each summer until we have another leap year, and that will set it back 24 hours for another start. In this longitude June 21st will be the longest day of the year 1914, but when 1915 rolls around the longest day of the year will be June 22d.
 The sun will cross the equator on it's southerly journey this year short ly after 6 o'clock on the morning of September 2S. Juneau time, marking the autumnal equinox, and at about 1 o'clock on the morning of December 22d will occur the winter solstice.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June 2S, - The steamer Curacao is total wreck on the west coast of Prince or Wales island. She was steaming on her regular course from Craig to Swift's Cannery at Warm Chuck, on the morning of June 2l. She had passed St. Phillips island and was abeam of Culebra island, about a mile and half off shore, when she struck an uncharted rock while go. ing at regular speed, on on her star board bow. She passed clear over the rock. The channel where she struck is three miles wide, and a perfectly straight course at that point. The rock is almost in the center of Ton oweka bay.
 To the people standing on deck, 1t felt as if the boat were thrown high in the air. The ship then took a heavy list to port following by very heavy list to starboard. After she had righted her self Capt Thompson or dered Wireless Operator F. A. Shaef- fer to secure help if possible. He i'm mediately sent out the sos. call, and continued to do so until the en- zine room became flooded and cut oil the power.
 The captain ordered the life boats cleared as the the damage was evl- rently serious. The ship struck at 7:2O a. m., and the captain at once ordered full speed ahead, as the en- zines were undamaged.
 The wireless operator says that the steamer Alameda was heard about S:3O a. m., but he was unable to establish communications with her on account of the high hill intervening. The op' orators of the commercial land sta tions were all off shift, and he was unable to get any of them.
 The shores at that point are all steep and rocky and there was no place near where she could be beached so she steared directly for Swift's can nery, as that is the nearest place with any beach. She was almost into the cannery when the boilers became flooded and the engines went out Of commission. She was under heavy headway, however, and drifted in un til she struck within three hundred feet of the wharf at Swift's cannery She was beached at 9:10 a. m. A half hour before extreme low water.
 She sank at 2:15 p. m., and lay in an upright position until six in the

DETAILED STORY OF THE DISASTER

evening before she filled up and fell over on her port side. Soundings were taken at high tide and show n depth of eight feet of water at the bow and seventy.two feet at the bridge, with gradual slope and sand bottom from the bridge back. At high tide she lies with one foot of the forward rail and six fet of the smokestack showing As the ship fell over the lashings of the deck load carried away, and 1t drifted around the bay.
 After the accident to the ship break fast was served to the passengers and crew, as there was no immediate danger After the ship struck the beach all passengers were transferred to the beach and stores were carried off the vessel. Preparations were made to serve lunch and to care for the passengers until relief arrived.
 The gas boat Uncle Dan was the first boat on the scene, and it was dispatched to find the survey ship Gedney The Gedney arrived at D. m. and stood by to render all the as sistance possible. After the Curacao sank and all hope Of saving the snip was at end, the passengers and crew were transferred to the GeGney and the tender Cosmos, and started TOT Craig arriving there at S:45 p. m. Up on arrival at Craig arrangements were made to care for the passengers ana crew for the night. The Orient started at once for Ketchikan, with the news of the disaster. The Gedney left Sunday at 4 a. m., arriving at ketchi' kan S:45 a. m. with all the passengers and crew.
 Capt. William Thompson, First or. fcer 4. Vie, Second Officer l.. A. Laatz. Steward H. Kirmson, and Boat. swain J. Froberg remained at the wreck for the purpose of looking af' ter the company's interests.
 The Curacao at the time she struck had six first class and 8 second cab in passengers. The crew numbered 37 with nine officers making total Of eighty.fve people.
 The ship is laying in fairly we'll protected position and is hung with her bow on a rock, but her stern IS resting on the sand and she probably can be raised providing she is not too badly injured. This cannot be determined until after divers are on the ground and have made an examin- ation.
