PASSENGERS COOL HEADED Most of the Passengers Had Retired and Did Not Have Time to Dress The Cause of the Wreck Seems to Have Been That the Ship Was Not Competent for the Service No Longer Safe for Freights Is Made an Excursion Boat. UNITED FSB8S LEASED Will. Seattle, Wash., July 1 Still ex cited and nervous from their thrill ing experience on a sinking ship and narrow escape from death, the: 150 passengers taken from the wrecked steamer Spokane, arrived in port this morning on the steamer Admiral Sampson. Two lives were lost. All the others were rescued without W??ry. Mrs. Gardner F. Williams, of Washington, D. C, was hurled back Into a cabin by the rushing waters and drowned, while her frantic hus band and two daughters stood help less to save her. Mrs. J. E. Strauss, of Philadelphia, died from the shock Immediately after being rescued. The cause of the wreck was that the steamer could not stem the tide while going through Seymour nar rows, east of Vancouver Island. The Spokane Is a total loss. Dr. Martin A. Meyer, of San Fran cisco, one of the shipwrecked pa sengers, told a vivid story of the wreck. "There was a party of us playing cards in: one of the cabins Thursday evening. At 11:15, the light house on the big rock hove in sight, c'ose by. We saw the boat being pulled over toward the rock by the strong current. "We could feel the rudder trying to keep the ship in the channel, but It was all in vain. The current was too strong. At 11:16 we hoard a crash ing sound, and the side of the hoa was ripped wide open below the sec ond bottom. "The next few minutes were p-nb-ably the most terrible of every pas senger's life. I nevdr heard anything more awfnl than the sound of (he water sucking into the big hole in the ship, while we were slowly going down. "Every one of us were In the water More than one-third of the passeng ers had retired for the night, and in the excitement did not even get time to dress. But I have never Beerf bet ter order. There was not a scream. No sign of a panic. Every woman was as cool headed as the captain himself, who gave his orders in hand ling the lifeboats."

It was only a temporary character, however, and this after noon the greatest uneasiness pre vailed. For two or three days the weather here has been unseasonably warm.
