The Wreck of the Princess Sophia
The light of the streetlamps in Skagaway that night
in October were like flags from the snowfall
faired flush with the wind, and the streets fared no better
with the drifting and pillage of snow.
They had come down from Dawson in the year
of the Armistice from the mines west of Ruby
and Whitehorse, some shouting, some saying
"I'll be back soon," or "I'll see you, my love,
when the river breaks up,"
and young Charlie Castleman sat sipping whiskey,
looking out at the weather from the Skagaway Hotel.
He was thinking about Breckinridge,
and the little girl sitting across from him seemed
so excited she couldn't sit still. Her name was Margaret,
the daughter of Oscar and Chrissie,
turned seven years old in the summer of Armistice,
all going south to be home for the winter,
and Charlie was thinking of his sister Christina.
When he left for the Klondike, she was seven years old,
and he thought of her sometimes, like summer
and baseball, and like Margaret, he too was happy
to be going home that he couldn't sit still.
When the Princess Sophia came in about seven
o'clock, Captain Locke took on water and oil,
and the stores were laid in for the long inside passage,
but he worried about the weather, barometer falling,
the new moon, and the wind seemed at odds with his sailing.
The tide was at flood, and the Lynn Canal tides
can run down like a rip saw with little relief.
With her cargo of mail and her passengers loaded,
she backed down off the breast line,
sprung away from the dock and the city lights,
off the current for the Vanderbilt Reef.
Oh, hard lie the rocks,
and Oh, shallow the water,
she made six knots or better, ran up on a westerly,
hurricane force, driving spindrift and green water
over the mainposts. She made good an a one sixty bearing,
with a drift in the current, by the growlers and brash,
and the little the lookouts could see in the snow.
Captain Locke on the flying bridge spoke
to his first mate about safety speed,
"We can make Alert Bay, if the wind gets no fresher.
and I'll be in Seattle by Armistice Day."
Down below decks the passengers whiled away time.
Charlie Castleman laughed and taught Margaret
to whistle, played whilst with her, read her a book
about sea otters, told her a tale
about cowboys, both unaware of the wind and the swell,
and the spurious bearing, and the white water
surge on the Vanderbilt Reef.
"Oh, come hard," say the rocks,
and "Come high," say the eddies.
"You must give us Ozymandias,
tell tomorrow what matters."
The wind was alive in the wireless antenna.
There was ice at the bridge railing, ice in the capstan.
"There is safety in speed," Captain Locke said to Jeremy.
"We can make Alert Bay, on a one sixty bearing,
and I'll be in Seattle by Armistice Day."
There is scarcely a rock now uncharted.
There is hardly a deadhead could bring us to grief,
but the rip tide and current, and the snow that came blowing
that night, took the Princess Sophia with her deckhands
and Captain, with her children of miners and pipefitters,
soldiers and storekeepers, daughters and sons of the Northwest,
and brought her aground on the Vanderbilt Reef.
With a brutal concussion she came up on a rock,
ran up high in the middle, and was dragging her keel
when the steampipes exploded under eight feet of water.
At the call of her wireless, the King and Winge came
around Sentinel Island. the Amy and Estabeth,
anchored nearby, came around off her lee side
and lay along side her.
But no one came near,not a life boat was lowered
for the crew and the passengers, for the surf was too high,
for she seemed to ride stable. So they waited 'til morning
in the scope of the anchor chain
and the hope of good weather.
the Cedar and Estabeth, King and Winge waited
in the lee of Mab Island, all intent on the wind.
All awake in the wheel houses,
prudent of weather, knew that they would go out
in the storm if the telegraph came. And it did.
"We are foundering, come quickly, we are foundering."
There were two whistles blew from the Cedar that night.
The King and Winge steamed off her quarter.
On the Amy the telegraph sent out a message that said:
"Godspeed to those on the Princess Sophia tonight."
but the mothers were taken from the arms of their children
when the westwind came calling. Sophia came up
and spun wildly abeam as the wind caught her broadside,
and Charlie found Margaret alone at the railing,
where her mother and father had been swept to the sea.
She was frightened and crying, and he wrapped his coat
'round her, took her up in his arms and said,
You come with me to the foredeck,"
where he raised her up high on his shoulders.
Together they stood until water ran over the deck tackle,
over the taffrail, over the bridge and the officers,
over them both, and over the others who perished
in the backwash of dark shallow water that ran
at the wreck of the Princess Sophia that night.
There was nothing to see but her main mast
in the light from the Amy and Estabeth.
The beam wind had taken her, open by surge,
she had broadened hard and foundered,
rolled sideways and slipped to the shoal.
In the dark, wretched weeks that the world
came to watch, when the tide took the children
and laid them on shorelines and snowcovered rocks,
they found a young man
with his arms still around a small girl.
We are vain with the powers of men,
and all pretense at salvation of conveyance,
like Ozymandias' smile, is at odds
with the coursing of current,
and our only recourse is to hold one another,
raise each other up gently, and take on our shoulders
the weakest among us.
When three hundred fifty daughters
and sons of the Northwest went down
on the Princess Sophia that night in October,
in the year of the Armistice, beaten and broken
beyond all belief, beyond all that,
Seattle would mourn for the loss of the souls
on the Princess Sophia, when she went aground
and rolled off in the waters
that carry the tide on the Vanderbilt Reef.
Reading of the Journal of the previous day was dispensed with and it was ordered to stand approved.
