On December 17th 1904the Glen Island was carrying passengers on its normal excursion route to Glen Island. Just after midnight a fire started below decks. Within five short minutes nine persons had burned to death. Captain Mac Allister ordered the lifeboats launched "Women and children first" The crew made a line and were handing down a small girl when a terror stricken man rushed up and tried to get down first. One of the crew struck him in the face so hard that it sent him reeling backward. By the time all were boarded in the two boat the Glen Island was completely ablaze. Survivors were picked up shortly by the tug boat Bully.
