While the 390-gross register ton, 155-foot (47 m) codfishingschooner was anchored off Bird Island in the Shumagin Islands during a voyage from San Francisco, California, to Unga, Territory of Alaska, with 12 fishermen, a 500-ton cargo consisting of a 26-foot (7.9 m) boat, general merchandise, coal, and salt, and a crew of 10 aboard, a storm with hurricane-force winds struck. Her anchor cables broke and she was stranded on rocks. There was no loss of life, but by the following morning she had been dashed to pieces, leaving behind only wood, pieces of timber, and provisions that washed ashore.[3]
The cargo ship foundered in the Bay of Biscay with the loss of twelve of the 23 people on board. The survivors were rescued by Wildenfels (Germany).[13]
