Princess Sophia
 Hits Sentinel Reef

The Princess Sophia struck Senti' nel Island reef at o'clock yesterday morning and stove her bow in below the water line. The ship hung on to the reef for about two hours and then floated safely enough and proceeded to the south arriving in Juneau one hour behind her schedule time. The ship was not hurt by the terrific i'm pact and did not leak owing tothe water.tight compartments.
 Pilot Harry Hughes. one of the best known pilots in these waters was on the bridge at the time and Captain Campbell had retired. It was very dark and was raining hard when the ship struck. The passengers were not alarmed at all and continued with the ship an their journey southward. Captain Campbell, however, refused to take the passengers booked by the office in Juneau, and Captain Whit ney, U. s. inspector of hulls and Doll' CTS. who had been called by Mir. spickett. the agent, agreed that it was not wise to do so.
 John T. Spickett, agent of the com pany in Juneau, is paying the hotel expenses of the passengers until an other ship leaves for the south.
 Pilot Hughes declined to make any statement, saying that he had nothing to say now but would speak at the proper time and place. All the transportation men are sorry to hear of the mishap. Captain Campbell thinks that the Sophia can get the plates repaired and and be back on the run in about two weeks.
 The point struck is the same as that encountered by the Princess May in 1910. There is a good light stand ing over the reef. A strong tide sets toward the reef at certain stages re, quiring close watching.
