Another frightful marine disaster in northwestern
waters-Little steamer Dix cut in two by tug Jeanie
and goes down witn cabin full of women
(Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan)
Seattle, Nov. 19 ? Another frightful catastrophe lias
been added to the record of terribly fatal marine disasters
in the waters of the northwest and two scores of human
lifes have been sacrificed. The Puget Sound steamer Dix
was suuk as a result of a collision with the tug Jeanie off
Al-Ki point last night at 7:35 o'clock. There were about
SO passengers on the Dix and W of tliem are believed to be
drowned.
The Dix was on her way to Port Blakely and nearly
all of her passengers were Port Blakely people. The
Jeanie was bound to Tacoma. The Dix got out of her course
and ran along side of the Jeanie and tried to cut across
her bcw. She was struck by the larger boat, which crash
ed into her, cutting a great gaping hole. The Dix keeled
over and sunk almost immediately.
The cabin was filled with women who were doomed
from the very beginning. Only one, a girl, Alice Simp
son age 15 years, escaped and was rescued. The others
were drowned in the little room into which, they had
been crowded.
The men, many of whom weie 011 deck, sprang into
the water. About half of them were rescued by 1 he boats
from the Jeanie which were lowered.
It is evident that the man at the wheel. the mate of
the little craft, was responsible for the act. It is believed
that in his excitment he turned the wheel the wrong
way. He was drowned.
The accident all happened so quickly and so unex
pectedly that few of those saved realized what had hap
pened until they found themselves struggling for their
lives in the waters of the sound.
Few of the bodies of those who were in the cabin have
been recovered.
