TO SAVE IT
Steamship Marieschen May
B>? Floate I
The Georgia brings word that the
Georman steamship Marieschen, which
sunk at half-tide the other day at False
bay, Chatham strait, will probably be
saved. She is lying on the rocks, but
not in a dangerous position.
When rescued, the crew of the ship
were camped on the beach near the
wreck, which has not been abandoned.
Most of the crew of the vessel will be
seat south on the Cottage City. The
first officer, the steward aad others re
main with the wreck.
The first report that the ship had
lost her propeller at sea was an error.
Her deadlights were broken in during
a storm on Christmas day and the wa
ters put her fires out. The bunkers
were flooded making it impossible to
get coal, but the pumps were worked
by hand so that at times a fire was kept
in one of the boilers sufficiently to turn
the wheel. Flour, saturated with coal
oil, was used for fuel. The flour and
oil were portions of tbe cargo.
Several times the water-logged ves
sel got within sight of Admiralty isl
and and safety, and was driven back by
the wind. It was drifting for days,
sending rocke's in the air at night and
flying distress signals in day time for
the Georgia. Had the latter vessel
been on her regulur schedule she would
have picked up the ship before she
struck the rocks.
The cargo of tbe ship consisting of
salmon, beer, flour and general mer
chandise is partly damaged.

that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruff is the cause of nine-tenths of
ill hair trouble, and dandruff is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand
ruff is to Sill the germ; and. so far, the

TRIBUTE TO CHIEF
EMGINEER DOWNING
Chief Engineer Downing, of the ill
fated steamer Valencia, who i> report
ed among the lost, do doubt died in the
engine room, fitting to keep his crew
at work. It will be remembered that
when Downing was on the Al-Ki two
years ago the steamer was sbutted into
an iceberg and was in a sinking condi
tion unless Bteam could be kept in
her boilers until she reached the beach.
It was then that Dowdng showed his
manhood, ana grabbing a monkey
wrench, stood over the coal passers and
trade them shovel, under penalty of
death. Overcome with fear, the crew
stayed at their posts and the Al-Ki was
saved. There can be no doubt but that
Downiog was there, at his post, on the
Valencia.? Juneau Dispatch.
