The steamer Latouclie after wait
ing in the roadstead all liny for the
purpose of discharging the mall
loeallj finaliy sailed in the evening
for St. Michaels. Before leaving
the first class mail was transferred
to one of the other boats in the
roadstead. The second class mail
will he transferred to the Silver
Wave and brought ov. i by that
boat on the return trip from St.
Mike’s The reason tor the sudden
departure 01 the Latouclie is said
to be because of the fact that
Yukon boats were short of oil and
Iliad been waiting for tin1 Latouclie
■ for some time. Owing to the water
falling and the heavy surf still ex
isting last evening even after the
wind went down there was no ef
fort. made to discharge the mail
here.
Prepare for the winter by patron
izing the advertisers of your paper,
Mr. Miner!
U boats have been upon submerg j
ing letting loose a lot of supposed
wreckage and a large quantity of
oil, which coming to the surface
gave every indication of the diver
having been hit and sunk.
The U boat in at least three in
stances is known to have not been
hit at all but arose some distance
away while the merchantmen were
investigating the suposed scene of
the attack and directed a well
aimed torpedo which sank the liner
Probably says the department the
cases reported of sinkings by gun
fire from merchant vessels, because i
of the wreckage etc, were all
fakes.
