Floating Islands Reported Near Queen Charlotte Sound
Captain Johnson of the Capilano reports three to four huge floating islands of logs and debris drifting in Smith Inlet near Queen Charlotte Sound. The masses, up to 30 feet high and 300 by 150 yards, threaten northern coast navigation and may prompt a government steamer to destroy them. The islands likely originated from a landslide at the inlet head, with similar masses observed for ten days.
