were absent on account of the cold
and so not to cause confusion In the
classes It was decided to close the
schools. The schools will be closed
until farther announcement Is made
In The Alaskan.

BUCKED STIFF GALE UP THE COAST WITH
THICK S..0W STORMS BASING
WHS ENCASED IN ICE
tincased in ice to :tu extent that
she looked like an Ice berg, the Prtu
0088 May of the Canadian Steamship
company came into port at t; o'clock
last flight after having been out from
Vancouver more than a week in the
roughest weather experienced for
yeaTs on the Alaskan coast
The passengers and crew alike
were glad to land. The rough waves
and the tossing of the boat alarmed
the more timid passengers, while
Capt. McCloud and his assistants had
to navigate their boat In :i dangerous
sea through thick clouds of snow,
rapt. McCloud said it was th? worst
trip he Itad ever taken and he was
s\> exhausted that lie w<?nl to bed .<s
soon us his ship was wharfed.
Several nights the Princess May
was tied up as It was considered loo
dangerous to navigate her in the
narrow inland waters when the vision
was obscured by snow. Once, after
passing Wrangell narrows, she was
turned around and put back to the
narrows, where she laid at anchor all
night In a sheltered cove. Several
of the crew were frost bitten in the
bitter weather and few of the passen
gers ever ventured on dock at all.
The Princess brought up eight pas
sengers and It tons of freight. She
left at 5 o'clock this morning with IS
passengers and 11 tons of sacked ore.
Owing to the rough weather the Prin
cess did not take aboard 200 tons of
ore belonging to Col \\ S. Thomas
which was in the ore hunkers, tt
was considered dangerous to try to
tie up near the ore bunkers.
The train from Whltehorse due at
3:15 yesterday afternoon pulled in st
8 o'clock last night. The train on
conntercd huge fror.cn drifts near
Summit and for hours three engines
and the big rotary could make but
little progress. The train crow state
that the drifts were the worst of the
year. Several of the men have been
frost bitten during the past week.
LOST ? A pair of eye glasses near
end of gang plank of Princess May
on Moore's wharf. Howard If return
