The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

The steel steamer princess of Victoria, bound for Victoria and Seattle following- close behind crashed into the Che- halls and cut the tug in two before the speed of the steamer could to checked. The Princess Victoria was going at the rate of about nineteen knots an fcour, and the Chehalis ws U^eU- ing about ^iue knots v,Uen the collision occurred. 'The Chehalis *ns struck amidship, was cut clean in two, and the after half of the vessel sank at once precipitating all on board into the waler. The Princess (Victoria immediately stopped, threw over life preservers and lowerd five boats which cruised about for nn hour picking up six suva Ivors, namely: Capt. House, master of the Chehalis. j. o. Benwell, commission nior chant of Vancouver. C. A. Dean, Engineer of the Chehalis. p. G. Shallcross. R. H. Bryce., - R.' N. Nich. These were brought back to tie dock and the Princess Victoria did not continue on her trip to Victoiia and Seattle uutil '1 o'clock. It ih feared there will be no moie survivors and it is doubtful"ii tlie bodies of the nine missing will be covered, so strong is the the scene of the accident. When the GuK flyer crashed into the 'tug it was in full view of fully two hundred passengers who crowded the upper decks of the Princess Victoria. Just a few seconds before the accident tourisis had been snapping cameras on the little tug that Mas standing along jusk' a- w-oro being taken, all unconscious head of the big steamer. Pictures that theie \\ould be such a tragic scene to ' record in a a cry short time. While there was "naturally much excitement aboard the Princess Victoria when the collison occurred, it was pmcipally confined to a few hys terical passengers. The officers and crew nil behaved with remarkable coolness and had a boat lowered in a remarkable short space of time- before the steamer, could be brought to a stop in fact. Many of tbe pas sengers,' too, behaved with commendable coolness, and threw well aimed life pieservers to the poor unfortu nates sUiiggling m the swirling waters. Passengers on the Princess Victoria say that had the accident occurred in water wheie tl������eie was ������oj. such a powerful nirrent running the lohs of life would not have been so large., But the swU'i curient made it almost impossible for anyone to make headway against it by swimming, and they were soon carried out of i each, and sank. 'Yo obliviate Uiis as much ns possible, ilvi Princess Vic toiia Mas allowed to diift rlow������ the 'fnlet for nearly a mile, until all that could bo sfueel Mere picked up nnd there was 31o 'race of other unfortu- malfs who bad so suddenly consigned to a watery grave.
