After her sale, the ship entered commercial service as a schooner with the name Elwood.

Elwood departed Seattle, Washington, on 1 September 1895 bound for Kodiak on Kodiak Island and Cook Inlet on the south-central coast of Alaska on what was destined to be her final voyage.
At 2:00 a.m. on 14 December 1895, she was wrecked on a reef off Gardner Point (57°01′N 134°37′W) in Southeast Alaska.
One member of her crew died when he attempted to reach shore.
Her captain and the rest of her crew reached land safely by clinging to her wreckage.
Once ashore, they made their way to Murder Cove on the southernmost coast of Admiralty Island in the Alexander Archipelago and then to Killisnoo, where the United States Revenue Cutter Service revenue cutter USRC Wolcott rescued them.
Wolcott transported them to Sitka.
