Lost Vessel When Strack Amidships Listed Heavily to Port and Sank Immediately, Stern Firat, in Deep Water. SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 2. — The steamer Dix, Captain P*. Lermoun, bound frem Seattle to Port Blakeley with passengers, sank (wo miles north of Alki point after having collided with the stesuship Jeaunle, Captain P. H. Mason, of the Alaska Coast com- pany during the early evening Forty: three passengers and men of the crew of the Dix are missing, and thirty. elght were saved. The Dix is a total wreck, as she went down la 100 fath- oms of water, The Jeanie was not in- jured in the-deast, snd no member of her crew was lost. The master of the DIX was saved. The collision occurred while the sound was alinost as smooth as a mill pond and after the boats Lad Leen steaming within sight of each other for a quarter of an bour. The Jeanie was backing when she collided with the Dix, and the Impact was very slight. The Dix was struck abaft of amidships on the starboard side. She listed heavily to port for a brief period, righted herself, then sapk stern first. There was hardly time to launch life rifts or boats before she was almost ecutirely submerged. Passetigers jumped from the decks Into the water, women screamed, and offi- cers and men called orders that could hardly be heard abeve the din. The passengers from the Dix who could swim made their way to the sides of the Jeanie and were dragged aboard The Jeanie was not moved until after all who Lad reached her had been haul ed aboard Then she cruised about, picking up several who had managed to stay above water. The Jeanle had started for Tacoma just about the same time the Dix left the Flier dock for Port Blakeley. When within about two miles north of Alkl polut the two steamers were within a short distance of each other, steaming along converg- Ing lines. The captain of the Jeanie says Le signaled for the Dix to pass him, and his whistle was answered. The Dix was then within speaking dis tance of the Jeanie and to the port of her. “As soon as | saw the Dix was so close,” sald Captalu Mason of the Jeanle, “1 called to the wan In her pilot house to know what he was doing. He put Lis wheel over to starboard, and she started directly across my bows “lI sigualed to the engine room of my vessel to back at full speed, but we could uot get out of the way in time. The Jeaule was backing a little when we struck. [| guess it was pretty well abaft of amidships, aud the shock Was pot enough to have Injured an or. dinary launch. The Dix listed heavily, righted herself and then sank stern first.” Of the five female passeugors on the Dix the only one to escape was Alice Bimpson, a fifteen-year-old girl. She is believed the only person who escaped from the wmaln deck of the steamer, where more than half of the Dix's pas- sengers were shut in when the fatal crash came. She could pot swim, but ber clothing kept ber afloat until she boats lowered by the steamship Jeanie, It ls believed that the thirty seven passengers who were rescued Included every on who was on the open deck the Dix when the little craft plunged down stern foremost Into a hundred fathoms of water. It is doubt- ful whether she cau be raised. Democrats Refsse to Sign Canvass. ELMIRA, N.
