No one was drowned, largely because of the amount of wreckage, including spars, stove wood, oil drums and other loose articles, that the men could cling on to.

Cowlitz could not help them all. They could only take those that were nearest. Just beyond reach a man was struggling. They threw a life preserver to him and he tried to touch it. He tried and he couldn’t. I guess it was all the strength he had left, for he slipped under the water without a sound and was gone.

Captain Exon's business plan was to charge rates lower than rail transport, and match truck rates. Reportedly the demand for steamer services was so great by
September 1930 that it would probably be necessary for the line to purchase another steamboat in the near future. Freight was to be picked
