 Mr. Rogers was In town last night, but returned this morning to the scene of operations. The barge Pal myra has again been moved. She had been anchored over the spot where Rogers thought the Islander lay. The barge is used to tend the submarine in its descent
 The explorer is by no means dis heartened at his first failure to find the wreck. He said last night that he fully expected to find tho Islander and he reiterated that be was prepar- ed to meet failure if he did find the wreck, as he characterizes hls efforts to recover the gold aboard the sunk en ship as "a gamble, purely and simply"
 Vessel Sank "By Che Head"
 According to the survivors of the iil-fated vessel, tho Islander sank 'by Ahe head"-Gorepoak submerged-af- ter she struck floating ice on the morning of August 15. 1901 Captain Irving said that as the Islander plung- ed to the bottom of the channel her course certainly was on vertical line, and it was his opinion that be- fore her stern disappeared beneath the surface her great boilers became unfastened. Their great weight he declared. was such that they would rip through iron. steel and wood, car ryirg everything before them. The picture that was portrayed of the ves- sel was hollow shell of steel, pune tured at the bow. and with her su- perstructure ground to bits.. It was his opinion that the purser's room, where the treasure safe was stored, went by the board"
 Captain Irving was owner of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, which owned the Islander. After be- ing commander of the Islander, he sold her to the Canadian Pacific Railroad company. which succeeded the company he had organized.

ISLANDER GOLD THOUGHT TO BE
 UNRECOVERABLE

That when the steamship Islander sank off Douglas Island fourteen years ago this month her two 5O-ton boilers raked her interior from stem to Iorepeals. tearing out an woodwork including cabins. is the theory of Captain John Irving. who built the vessel. Capt. Irving passed through Juneau @ few days ago. on the steam ship Princess Alice. on bis way to Whitehorse. Y. T. The veteran ship builder talked with Juneau passen- gers on the boat. including Collector of Customs J. F. Pugh. and while he expressed the hope that the W. J.. Rog- CTS expedition to recover the vessels treasure would be successful. he fear ed that it would result in failure. Captain John Mcleod. of the Prin- cess Alice. himself an authority on nautical lore. thought the chances of recovering the Islanders gold exceed ingly remote.
