of the Etna, to tie up the boat. With logging activity expected to resume soon, Captain Gray was getting ready to return Etna into service. In late May 1916, Capt. Gray and Etna delivered a fifth car of rails for the Dubois logging camp at Ariel. Late rains and snowmelt had kept the river unusually high for that time of year. Rescue and medical transport On August 27, 1916, Capt. Lurlie Gray rescued and resuscitated a boy, Elmer Scott, aged 12, from drowning after the boy had been drawn under a launch at Woodland by the current in the Lewis River. The boy had been swimming with some friends. On February 11, 1918, George Waldron, an employee of the Tenny Logging company near Ren, on the Lewis river was seriously hurt by a flying log. Waldron was taken downriver to Woodland on Etna, where he was treated by Dr. Hoffman, after which Waldron was taken to a hospital in Portland. DispositionEtna was not worked after 1919. According to a contemporaneous source, on November 18, 1918, a rise in the water level of the Lewis River at Woodland resulted in the sinking of Etna''. The steamer was anchored behind a jetty. The water overtopped the jetty, carrying sawlogs with it. These sawlogs caught on the anchor cable, pulling the steamer down.
