FIVE MINUTES
I KETCHIKAN, Nov., 18, (/P)—
I The Coast Guard Cutter Cyan
i arrived here with 25 officers and
members of the crew from the

from Victoria. Captain John New
land and eight men remained on
the Depere.
The ship was beached within
an hour after striking the rock.
Survivors said water was 'flood
ing the engine room and it could
not have been kept from sinking
five minutes longer. They said
the vessel struck amidships on
the port side.
Captain Newland was on the
bridge and Decker on watch, and
the course of the vessel had just
been changed and was headed
for Cape Decision when a light
shock was felt throughout the
vessel.
There was hardly any excite
ment among the men. But when
the engine room plates were, cov
eied with water Kinnear knew
they were fighting against time
nnd a possible explosion.
Officers praised the heroism of
Kinnear who stuck with the en
gines until the ship was beached
lust inside the point near Port
McArthur. Kinnear could not
have kept the engines going five
minutes longer. Officers calmly
took charge of launching boats
and supplies; the surf was heavy.

between rocks and the afterpart
is flooded at high tide. The cargo
included copper valued at $200,000.
