German Ship Marieschen goes ? ashore on Admiralty
island, after drifting hopelessly for weeks on bosom
of broad Pacific-Men worked for many days and
nights to keep ship afloat
Word was received on the Cottage
City of the wreck of the German steam
ship, Marieschen, laden with salmon
from Seattle to Japanese ports and Vla
divostok, which went ashore at False
bay, on the west shore of Admiralty
island, a few days ago. All members
of the crew of the vessel were saved!
and 47 of them were taken to Juneau
by the Georgia.
TheMarieschen dropped her propeller
and became helpless while at sea
Christmas day. For weeks she drifted
about, subject to the caprices of wind
and wave; sometimes drifting- near
shore, and at other times making to
sea again. To make matters worse,
duriog the course of a storm, a dead
light was broken, the fires were put
out by the incoming water, and the
lives of those on board were saved only
by keeping the pumps working day and
night.
The long fight for life ended in sue
cess only when the ship drifted into
Chatham strait and went ashore at
False bay, ner.r Killisnoo.
The Mariescben was a tramp freight
er. She caught on fire several months
ago, at Seattle, atd the water front
was threatened with destruction for a
time. She was of 6000 tons register.
