ing authentic has been received
directly from Capt. Heinie Ber
ger, of the M. S. Discoverer, which
was reported today as having hit
a rock off Point Gore and sank.
The report which circulated to
day as having been received by
the wireless operator on the S. S.
Satrr, was to the effect all passen
gers and the crew were saved but
that the boat and cargo was a to
tal loss.
Another report had it that Cap
tain Berger had reached Seldovia
but if such was the case it is as
sumed, providing the private wire
less was in operation, a radio
would have been dispatched here
by him.
AUTHENTIC INFORMATION

the Bank of Seward, informed the
Gateway he had received a radio
from Seldovia which contained the
following information:
The M. S. Discoverer struck a

16 miles southwest of Point Gore.
At 3:10 a. m., the decks were
awash. The radio also said that
Captain Berger was leaving Port
lock—presumably yesterday— for
the scene of the wreck on the
vessel Wyoming.

Discoverer was a total wreck at
that time and it was thought all
on board made it safely to Port
lock in one of the Discoverer’s
dories. Mr. Balderston stated the
vessel, which was on its first trip
of the year after being remodeled
at great expense in Sattle, was well
covered by insurance.
