She foundered yflve miles south of Juneau in August, 1901, after striking a submerged iceberg. The loss of life was very heavy. The" iceberg cut into the forward^compartments. The door between the forward compartments and the engine room was closed tight and, according to the story of the survivors, ths vessel would have remained' afloat if the door hat) not been opened by a fireman in response to,the cries of V stowaway, who was trapped in the place.- When the door was opened, the. water rushed in and sent the shin to the bottom, 288 feet deep at that point. The story as told by R. G. Dunbar, who, with his successful party, are returning to California in the treasure ship Winona, adds another chapter of romance to the history of the Great North.
