IT VALDEZ
_
Captain O’Brien, who Is In com
mand of the Northwestern, is noted
along the coast from Ketchikan to
Nome as one of the best natured men
who navigate the waters of Alaska,
but when he got in port last night
he was angry clear through over the
report that his ship had grounded on
the tideflats at Cordova.
The report had been circulated
around town during (lie day that the
failure of the vessel which had been
reported as leaving Cordova at 10
o'clock Sunday night, to reach Valdez
thiH morning vras due to her having
suffered the same mishap ns that of
the Mameda last spring when she was
hung up on the tideflats at Cordova
for several hours. Efforts lo trace
the report to its source of origin was
fruitless, and the contradiction is
made in order that the enviable rec
ord of Capt. O’Brien as a careful navi
gator may not be allowed to suffer
from the circulation of the false re
port.
Capt. O'Brien explained that the
Northwestern had been scheduled to
leave Cordova at 10 o'clock Sunday
night, and that after the passengers
and crew were all on board the lines
had been east off and the ship an
chored a few hundred yards from the
Cordova wharf. A dense foe Dre
vailed, and he had decided to wait
until It lifted before negotiating the
winding passage out from Cordova.
The ship hud left the wharf in order
that she might be ready to sail at any
time, but it was not until near morn
ing that she sailed.
The freighter Latouche was also in
the Cordova harbor while the North
western was there, and. like the lat
ter vessel, was delayed by the fog
from taking her departure.
('apt. O'Brien is naturally proud of
his record as a navigator and re
sents any imputation upon his sea
manship. but it is doubtful if the per
son who originated the false report,
and certainly none of those who re -
pealed it, hud the slightest desire to
rob him of the credit to which he is
entitled as a careful navigator, who
is always alert to provide for the safe
ty of his ship and the lives of the
passengers and crew entrusted to his
care.—Valdez Prospector.
