INVESTIGATION
 UNDERWAY IN
 ALASKA MISHAP

SEATTLE. Nov. IA Federal investigation is underway to deter mine the cause of the grounding of the million dollar liner Alaska. AL aska Steamship Company Seattle Alaska vessel, it was announced here, with the arrival of Captain William Fisher Of San Francisco, chairman of the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation Board. He arrived in Seattle yesterday.
 The Alaska went aground at El- liott Island, approximately 20 miles south of Prince Rupert at 12:3 30 a. m. Sunday morning. She was run ming at full speed ahead and her momentum carried her bow high up on shore aOne could pick the leaves off the trees from the deck. " one passenger said.
 The steamer North Coast took off the PTS passengers and took them to Prince Rupert where they were picked up by the northbound Yukon and taken to Ketchikan where they were picked up by the southbound Aleutian Tuesday. Captain o. c. All derson and about 15 of the crew remained aboard the Alaska while tugs worked frantically throughout Monday trying to pull the vessel from her perch. It was finally re- floated Tuesday afternoon at high tide but no estimate as to the amount of damage done to her hull has yet been made public
 Passengers were loud in their praise of Captain Anderson and his crew for their coolness and effic- iency in lowering life boats and taking passengers ashore. Thomas AIderson of Gilroy, Calf, said, on arrival here Wednesday, the hun dreds of gallons of fuel oil from the Alaskas broken tanks caused the most hardship. It was terrible. It stuck to the lifeboat oars and covered the rocks on shore. I had to crawl on my hands and knees through the muck because the oil made the rocks so slippery"
 Mrs. Earl k. Goodwin, of Ketchikan, gave her version of the mishap. The sea was calm," she said. T was in my stateroom pre- pairing for bed when there was a terrific lureh and whistles began to blow. l didn't know what had hap pened until 1 looked out into the lounge and saw a davenport com Ing straight toward me. Then I knew it was a wreck. I grabbed my best dress and ran up on deck. There was very little excitement. Someone said we were aground. I got into a life boat and was roWed ashore"
 No one aboard was hurt.
