The steamer Dix, on the run between Seattle and Port Blakely, was struck and sunk by the steamer Coast Alaska company Jeanie on Sunday night off Duwam- ish Head, in Seattle harbor. Forty two persons were drowned, thirty seven of the seventy-ninpassengers of the Dix being picked up by tha Jeanie's lifeboats and brought into Seattle about 11 p. m., when a report of the catastrophe was made. and Marine Inspectors Whitney Turner have decided to hold a rigorous investigation linto the loss of the Dix. Their inquiry will begin as soon as witnesses can be summoned. The Dix lies in nearly 100 fathoms of water, and it is doubtful .whether she will ever be raised. The owners of the boat have turned her over to who the underwriters, expect to make some effort to recover the ueamer.
