NEW YEAR'S DAY
ON THK PRINCKSS MAY
On New Years Day, 1913, the!
Canadian Pacific company's steam
ship Princess May was making her
313th trip. She left her sailing
port on time with a merry list of
passengers, the events of the trip
succeeding each other in harmon
ious enjoyment, unttl upon reach
ing Wrangell Narrows the skipper
found that the boat had slipped the
tide, and she had run into a blind
ing snow and wind storm. The an
chor was thrown out, and from :t
o'clock p m. Tuesday until eleven
o'clock Wednesday night the May
lay at anchor waiting for the storm
to subside, thus spending the mer
ry midwinter holiday in a narrow
channel of a rock bound coast.
At midnight when the old year
was passing, the guests were as-!
?embled In the dining room wher*'
Steward Ross had prepared a mid
night lunch and where the guests
hade farewell to tne 010 ana wel
comed the new year. "The king la
dead, long live the king."
New Years day was spent in a
social interchange of well wishes,
to which Captain McLeod added his
sea stories and entertaining anect
dotes, and hy his genial presence
helped to break what would other
wise have been a monotonous day.
A special New Years luncheon was
served, and to befittlngly observe
the New Year, Steward Roes again
came to the front and served an
elaborate six o'clock dinner on New
Years night, for which occasion
many special dishes had been pre
pared that the spirit of festivity
might prevail. The guests at the
captain's table were Dave McLeod,
the noted prospector and Alaskan
?nusher, Martin Nellson, Joe Car
son, old sourdough's of the 1897
variety, and Jack Keller. With
Chief Kngineer Olliver, sat James
A. King and R. 8. Steeves. With
Purser Mclaughlin were Mrs. H
Grove and children, Mias Delia
Miss Vonnle, Miss Kuretta and
Master Leslie.
When it came time for the desert.
Steward Ross brought forth a most
gorgeously decorated plum cake,
and after Captain McLeod had cut
' a goodly piece from the master
piece of the culunary art, the other
guests of the C. P. R. were urged
to partake thereof, and for the fol
lowing hour the time was spent in
story telling, song and jest.
| Nearly a foot of snow fell last
night, som<j of It being piled up In
high bank* along the fences, re
sembling very much the California
weather which is reported in to
day's news columns.
