A description of the event may be found in “Whistle Up the Inlet,” by G.A. Rushton (J.J. Douglas Ltd., Vancouver BC,1974; p 50):
"Good teamwork in the handling of the ships by the Union Company’s marine department was evidenced when, on September 19, 1907, at 4:30 a.m., the Comox, running in a heavy fog, went aground on Cortez Island reef. All passengers were landed safely in small boats, then picked up by the Cassiar and taken to Heriot Bay for transfer to their destination aboard the Coquitlam. The Comox was pulled from her rocky perch at high water the following day and beached at Mansons, where a three-foot hole between the boiler and starboard bunker were patched. The vessel was towed back to Vancouver on September 22 by the tug Tartar.”

Photograph titled "The second "Columbia" tied up to a floating logging camp in the beautiful Knight Inlet country. When it's rough enough you can be seasick right in your own livig-room." Note: This photograph appears to be the source of the painting on the cover of "God's Little Ships" by Michael Hadley (Harbour Publishing, 1995). It was probably printed in "The Log".
