LINER HITS
 IN EARLY MORNING
 PASSENGERS SAFI

WRANGELL, ALASKA, Nov. 19.- Steamer Mariposa of the Alaska Steamship company, southbound for Seattle struck a rock at 5:3O o'clock yesterday morning on Strait Island five miles west of Wrangell, and sank out of sight at 9:3O o'clock last night. All passengers have arrived here safe ly.
 The MaripOsa was running at half speed owing to haze which hung low over the water Suddenly there was a grating sound, ripping Of plates and the big liner came tO a quick stop. Passengers were thrown out of their berths and began tumb- ling out on the deck. Capt. O'Brien, who was on the bridge at the time, immediately sent out a wireless call for assistance as the MaripOsa listed sharply A sounding was made and deep water was found all around the steamer An examination of the low CT holds showed that water was pour ing in and the life boats were ordered swung out immediately.
 The officers of the ship appeased the passengers by announcing that all would be taken oiI safely and they were told to return to their state rooms, dress and get their hand bag gage together.
 Before the fires in the boiler room were extinguished by the rising Wal ter, the wireless operator picked up the steamer Curacao, of the Pacific Steamship company, the latter stat ing tl>t the boat was in the neighbOr- hood and would arrive within few hours.
 The Curacao arrived shortly after 10 o'clock and the work of transfer ring the passengers was begun.
 The greatest of order prevailed among the 232 passengers and all were safely placed aboard the Curn- cao and brought here.
 Capt. O'Brien was the last one to leave the ship which seemed to settle on the rock and it is believed has sunk m deep water. The Mariposa's $ heavy ore cargo, which was taken on at Cordoya, proved too great weight and it is said that the back of the steamer seemed to have broken as she slid into the deep water.
