ceived today at the Canadian Pacl-

United States lighthouse tender

Death Came Quickly.
The Alice, a sister ship of the
lost vessel, was hurriedly dispatched
north from Vancouver Thursday
when word came that the Sophia
had grounded.
The Alice had just started on her
rescue mission when a violent storm
came up. The wind raced with hur-

canal, and waves 50 feet high pound
ed the Sophia against the rocks,
making it impossible for the sew

her distress calls, to gA in close

Friday night the gale increased
until it lifted the Sophia up, dragged
her across the reef and dropped her
to the bottom of the icy waters. At
daybreak Saturday only the Sophia's
masts jutting from the surface were
visible. Not soul survived. Death
came quickly to all aboard, despite
the fact that the shore was but a
few yards away. Whole families in
many instances were wiped out.

here, was the worst marine disaster

great gold discoveries.

aunt and uncle of M. S. Eads Of

other sister, Mrs. Frank Housman,
lives on Dodge Road, and the uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Smith,
reside at Twenty-second and H

The first news which the fam
lily had of the wreck was through

say whether the report of the death
Of Mr.. Eads is authentic or not.
