Steamer Ohio Wrecked in Fog

The steamer “Ohio,” with 219 souls on board, en route from Seattle to Alaskan ports, struck a reef at the southeast entrance to the Keikish Narrows, during a dense fog, on the morning of August 27. The wireless operator stuck to his post till he died. Five were drowned, others were saved with difficulty.
