i HIGH TIDES
!
Sk gway Will Exp Hence
Very High Water
.
j For the next wtek Skag way will ex
perience record breaking h'gh tides.
They will increase each day until next
! Monday, November 27, when it will
reach the highest point that has
been attained by the waters of Lynn
canal since the foundation of Skagway.
The maximum will come at 1 p. m.
Monday afternoon, the day following
the new moon, when there will be an
extreme rise of 28 feet.
[? The highest tide ever experimced
before in Skagway was October 17, 1897,
more than eight years ago. It is re
membered very disti: ctly by old timers
in this city. The water on that occa
sion came up around the Buckhardt
building, now occupied by the Ross
Higgins-Company, at the corner of
Fifth Avenue and Broadway.
If there should be a severe south
wind prevailing next Monday there
mty be things doing around the water
front. The quantity of water in the
j townsite would sbe still farther added
! to if there should be heavy rains Satur
; day, Sunday and Monday.
; After Monday the tides will gradually
recede until they again become normal.
The a'tention of fekagwayans has
beed called to the coming natural phe
nomenon by skippers of ships plying
northern waters. This has resulted in
an examination of E. J. Shaw's tide
tables which disclose the facts given
here.
