schooner and sinks in seven minutes?Unclothed
passengers sent away in life boats to freeze? Only

by the fact that the big liner sank in
?even minutes from the time she was
strucK by the unknown vessel.
The scenes as the terror stricken
passengers were hurried into the boats
and sent out into the bitter cold of tLs
early morning to die of exposure were
horrible beyond description, though
good order prevailed to a remarkable
degree.
Thus far 43 dead bodies have been
washed ashore. A c'os<- patrol is being
maintained for.many miles along the
Long Island shore.

WILL BUILD
Wagon Roa ! Planned from
Haines to Interior
The Alaska road commission will
very likely build a road from nearj
llaines to Klukwan during the coming
summer. It might continue the road
to the Porcupine country. Ic certain
ly will if the company that recently
secured all the Porcupine mining
claims begins work this year. Other
contingencies might result Id the same
way.
Lieut. Orchard of the road com
mission made a trip over the Klukwan
I Porcupine trail to the boundary line last
| week. He says easy grades can be
| secured for a road the whole way. In
fact, he says, a railroad could bo put in
without any trouble at all. The grades
| would be easy and the worit all in soft
earth. There would be little or no
J rock work which mases railroad build
ing so expensive in most of the Alaskan
coast sections.
