On March 15, 1901 while enroute to Ladysmith in a dense fog to Oyster Bay this collier, owned by the Pacific Coast Steamship Co., struck Village Point, Denman Island in Baynes Sound. Part of her cargo was removed, and this vessel was salvaged and repaired. The hull was winched out of the water and a repair crew from Moran Bros, Seattle WA replaced plates in situ and this vessel was refloated and put back in service.
