den, is to the effect that 12 German merchantmen, coming
from the north, and convoyed by an auxiliary cruiser, torpedo
boats and trawlers, were attacked this morning by a squadron
of Russian destroyers, torpedo boats and submarines off the
Swedish coast.

steamed up and fled in all directions, but all of them were not
able to get out of the range of the Russian guns and several
were sunk.

the fighting lasted 40 minutes. A German trawler entered

IN THIS VICINITY
Judging from the Seward and
other coast town papers that there
were many idle men in Anchorage,
Robert Lindenherg, general mana
ger of the Seldovia cannery, arrived
in this city yesterday on one of the
company’s boats. Mr. Lindenberg
came for laborers and offered $75.00
and all expenses and wanted 10
good men, promising them a sum
mer’s work. The Seldovia cannery
is noted as being a good concern to
work for and the wages would ordi
narily have been an inducement for
a man looking for a job but as Mr.
Lindenberg can well substantiate
there are very few idle laboring men
in this city. With the assistance of
T. Goldman and E. W. Ramsey, of
the Pioneer Laundry, he finally
hired nine men, visiting every resort
and place where this class of men
usually hang out and was compelled
to leave without getting the number
of laborers he came after, vowing
never to come to Anchorage looking
for laborers again but would look
forward with much anticipation to
his next visit to this city from the !
standpoint of sightseeing and pleas
ure.
The Hazel B. No. 2 made her in
itial trip this morning, leaving An
chorage at 2 o’clock for the Sta
