 Wa.s Ne Excitement
 Is9ese @aS no excitement among tfae passengers or the crew. Dinner was served after the ship struck. but everyone was toe interested to think of eating. Ike passengers acted in . perfectly orderly manner and obeg.eaa the instructions of the officers ss.f the ship m every de, tail JfAe crew were orderly and well aeba#ed, and after reaching the ea14sery, Capt. Glassock com plimen;a1ed the men on the way in which they had conducted them selves. The Princess Sophia ar rived at 7:10 Sunday morning and got away from there about 10 o'clock" he concluded.
 Cargo of Evans
 The Evans was loaded with 600 tons of can-making machinery, canning machinery, wire netting, wire cable, lumber and coal for Port Althrop and some supplies for the Canoe Pass Packing Com pany. Much of this will be saved, but the delay in getting it out will seriously handicap these two concerns this season. L. c. Buschman, of Port Althrop, last night placed orders with the Ju- neau houses for as much of the supplies as could be duplicated in Juneau and this material will be taken to the cannery by the Spokane tomorrow.
 The Admiral Evans was for merly the Buckman. She was built at Toledo. Ohio, in 1901. She is 253 feet long, 36 feet beam and P feet depth. She is of 2, 393 gross tons, and her engines develope 2,O0O indicated horse power.
 Some of Details
 One of the details of the Evans wreck which stands out with startling clearness was the action of Wireless Operator Howard Canender who refused to leave his post until forced to do so by rapidly rising waters. It is said that Canender was ordered from his post by Captain Glassock, but refused to leave. When the en- zine room flooded at 7:10 the ! wireless dynamo was put out of commission. but t Canender switched to the emergency set and operated his machine until the water reached his waist be- | fore be would leave his post
 Another detail was thle action of Purser Bach, who sacrificed all of his personal belongings rather than aJlow the passengers one minute of discomfort which he could avoid Mr. Bach left the ship and remained away a1n- til everything for the aosnfort of the passengers possible had been done. On his return after bis belongings he found that the | water had risen to such a height that he was unable to reach his room. The wireless boys also lost their entire personal effects, including brand new typewriter which they had just purchased at their own expense.
