 The Marathon was on her way to the log jam on the Toloyana river, loaded to the guards with freight and pushing a barge She left here Friday evening Most of the freight was consigned 10 Hahan & Gillis merchants Of the Tolovara. It was shipped from here by the x. C. Com. pany and the Imperial Cigar store. Mel Mcdonald. the Toloyana mining man lost an outfit of lS0o pounds of supplies in the wreck. I F.

 Mir. Sherwin and Charles Hull who was taking an outfit to tha ToIoyana on the boat and who had shipped as fireman. arrived here yesterday and reported the wreck, After being picked up by the Mid, night Sun they were placed on the mainland and al once set out for Cinema. but met a man with a motor boat who brought them 10 that point From Cinema they came to Fairbanks on the steamer Tanana The two other men. whose names could not be learned. continued on down the river on the Midnight Sun. stating that they expected to pick up a polling boat and continue their journey All four lost everything. although it is stated that one Of the men who went down river sue ceeded in saving an outfit of sur yeying instruments he had with him.
 The wreck occurred at place known to steamboat men as The Kinks" The river is very treacher- ous there, and even large boats have a hard time in making the passage. The drift pile which caused the wreck is at sharp bend in the river The channel runs on one side of the pile while on the other side is an intake through which the water flows very swiftly, sweeping everything along with it.
 It is stated that the wreck was caused by the rudder of the Mara thon becoming obstructed just as this point was reached, causing the boat and barge to be at the mercy of the swift water. Sherwin was at the wheel and Hull was fir ing. Hearing shout from the for mer, Hull attempted to avoid the drift as both boat and barge were being sucked into the intake, by using a pole, but the nose of the barge ran sideways up on the drif. pile with the result that one side was soon submerged. The water then rushed in and sunk the barge, which pulled the boat down with it before they could be cut apart. The men who arrived here yesterday state that the entire incident took place in but little more than one minute of time.
