ISLANDER WRECK
 ONE MILE SOUTH
 MARMION LIGHT
Deep Sea Diver Walters Found Vessel Ten Days
 Ago at Depth 300 Feet.

The steamer Islander, wrecked 20 wears ago next month, lies in 300 feet of water. almost in the center Of Stephens Passage, one mile south west of Marmon Island light, ac- cordlng to Capt Frank Walters. deep sea diver. who located the wreck 10 days ago and who has been survey ing it since that time.
 Captain Walters, who is the man who salyaged the safe of the Prin- cess Sophia in Lynn Canal last sum mer, organized an expedition this spring and almost two months ago arrived here on the seine boat Sue meg to attempt to recover treasure known to be on board the Islander when she was wrecked. Accompany ing him was another well known diver Jack Clouse, and a specially constructed diving suit was used to allow for diving at great depth.
 Torn by Explosion
 Captain Walters said today: We located the wreck of the Islander 10 days ago and found that some ter rible internal explosion occurring at the time the boat went down had broken her all up. The decking was all gone. the masts fallen and the whole thing a mass of twisted iron, from which the woodwork had been blown and routed away.
 After our arrival here we wasted considerable time in searching for the lost steamer as there were so many conflicting reports as to where the boat struck and foundered," he continues Ten days ago we found it. The exact location is one mile from Marmion Island light, which is the little island at the south end of Douglas Island. By the compass, he said, "the wreck is one point west of south from the island, almost in the center of Stephens Passage.
 Filled With Sand
 Drawing a line from the entrance of Oliver Inlet on Admiralty Island to the Marmion Island light on the chart would almost pass over the wreck" he continued. Sand and silt have filled the wreckage and banked up around it to a depth of about 15 feet as it lies upon its side"
 Yesterday morning Captain Wal ters took his last look at the wrecked vessel and was under water when the picnic party on the Amy passed. He found he said, that there was absolutely no use trying to recover anything that might have been on the boat when it went down, as it is his opinion that the great explosion that occurred at the time of the wreck not only blew the yes sel to pieces, but scattered the con tents all over the bottom of the Passage where they now lie covered with sand and silt.
 Expedition Abandoned
 The expedition was abandoned after making sure of the condition of the boat and the Suemez with Divers Walters and Clouse left al noon today for Seattle.
 MT. Walters, before leaving, said that as far as being one of the mys teries of the seas, filled with treas ure awaiting for some daring deep sea diver to take, the Islander is closed incident and will no longer be spoken of as one of the rich prizes to be won by salvaging. af
 While in these waters, Captain Walters paid visit to the wreck of the Princess Sophia in Lynn Canal and said that the planking and tim bers of the vessel are becoming loosened and that there is little probability of her ever being brought
