The tug "Magic" (67 gross tons) collided with "Camano", and "Camano" sank in less than eight minutes. "Magic" sent off distress signals. "H.B. Kennedy" responded. The skillful crew of the "Kennedy", with the aid of "Magic", was able to rescue most of the people from "Camano." Four people died however, two women and one man from the passengers, and from the crew, the Chinese cook.
