The fate of the remaining
seventy-three persons aboard
the San Juan is unknown and
it is feared that many, pos
sibly all of them, drowned.
It was a happy crowd that walked
up the gangplanks late Thursday,
taking advantage of the low fares
offered by the forty-seven-y year old
San Juan for trip between the
two principal ports of California.
Fog Causes Tragedy
Through dense fog that hid the
heads of Golden Gate, the ship was
piloted by Captain Adolph F. As
plund, temporary commander. AS
plund followed the tradition of sea-
faring men and went to the bottom
with his ship.
The San Juan headed southwark
until it collided with the Dodd
about twelve miles off shore, near
Pigeon Point, a desolate bit of coast
line fifty miles from San Francisco.
A thick fog blanket hung over
the California coast at the time OF
the crash and undoubtedly was the
cause of one Of the greatest trag-
edies of the Pacific in many years.
The horror filled minutes that
followed that crash saw the happy
band of vacationists turned into a
panic stricken mob. The fog
blanketed everything and they
could not have known what had
taken place. Before they could col
Iect their scattered wits, they were
struggling in the waters of the Pa
cific.
Many Were Asleep
Many Of the passengers and crew,
it was learned through radio dis
patches, had retired for the night,
and it was feared many were trapped
when the waters swirled above the
sunken vessel.
Along with the scene of tragedy
and panic there were bursts of he
roism Captain Asplund is pictured
standing on the bridge, going to his
death, in a ship he piloted so its
regular captain could go on vaca-
ton.
The grizzled veteran of the sea.
came from retirement to favor his
friend, Captain Wrinkle. Three years
ago Captain Asplund left the sea
and bought a home in the exclusive
Ingleside Terrace residential sec
ton.
He had amassed a comfortable
fortune and lived with his 22-year-
old daughter Carolyn.
Recently, the daughter told the
United Press, the White Flyer line
called her father and asked him to
take command of the old San Juan
while the regular captain was on
vacation.
Captain on Last Trip
Unable to Withstand the tempta-
zion to put to sea again, in COM
mand of his own ship, Captain
Asplund accepted the assignment
and late Thursday took the San
Juan out through the heads Of
Golden Gate-and sailed to dis
aSter.
In all his years before the mast,
and later in steam, it was the first
accident the veteran Asplund ever
experienced.
The radio message telling that
| Captain Asplund died aboard the
San Juan was terSe:
"Asplund down with ship"
His daughter, waiting at home for
her father, was not informed Of the
message.
Daddy never had s.n accident
of any sort. I know he Is safe" "
Carolyn told the United Press. No
one had the heart to tell her of a
| crisp radio message that had
cracked out from the Munani.
True to their calling were the
sailors Of the Dodd and Munani.
