“Tiie crew behaved splendidly
and obeyed every order without
question. My last order from the
bridge was to get the women in
the life boats. Pilot MeGillivary
and myself went down on 'the
bridge. As soon as I came up
to the surface 1 worked my way
to a lifeboat that was full of wa
ter and signaled a sailor, a quar
termaster, a passenger and Chief
Mate Abernethy. We hailed tin
boat out and hunting through the
debris gathered up passengers,
members of the crew and bodies
of the dead that were to he found.
I ordered two of my lifeboats
that were full to land passengers
on the beach and to return (o the
wreck as soon as possible for the
purpose of continuing the search.
“When the ship struck 1 blew
several short blasts for the pur
pose of attracting the attention
of the cannery people and three
launches immediately were sent
to our assistance. We landed at
the cannery and did all in our
power to make the survivors
comfortable. As soon as possi
ble I sent a launch to Petersburg
and another to Juneau, the lat
ter with bodies of the dead re
covered, for medical assistance
and with instructions to inter
cept any steamer and send it to
our assistance. The one sent to
Juneau hailed the Jefferson and
she arrived about 5 o'clock. The
survivors and the dead were tak
en aboard and brought, to Juneau,
arriving here about I I o’clock
last night.
“The wreck was witnessed by
many people on the wharf of the
(iambier Cannery company and
they immediately set about the
work of rescue, taking every
small boat handy and all the gas
oline launches rescuing many of
j the passengers and crew, who
were floating about holding to
wreckage or buoyed up by life
preservers.
“I). C. Perkins, chief wireless
operator, heroically lost his life,
immediately on the ship’s strik
ing he rushed to the wireless sta
tMiwand forcing flic assistant to
leave, put the sounder over bis
! ear and began sending out the
j dread ‘S. <). S.’ |I1 is efforts were
! futile, however, as the message
was never picked up.”
