William Boswell and Mr. and Mrs.
Trend Schringer, arrived in town yes
terday from Boswell Ba,y, Hinchin
brook, in Billy’s launch Wickersham.
They report having had an extremely
rough trip, and but for the fact that
provisions in Boswellville were at the
lowest ebb, the trip would have been
abandoned shortly after starting, but
it was a case of get to Cordova or live
on short rations, so they took a chance
nnd came through.
A heavy wind from off the ocean
was bad enough, but that made objects
Thanks, however to the unerring of
indistinguishable a short distance
away, the trip was doubly hazarous.
Thanks, however to the nerring of
pilot Schringer and the heroism of en
gineer Boswell sticking to his engine
after the batteries had played ont, the
journey was at last completed in safe
ty, under sail. Mrs. Schringer, the
sole passenger, took a comfortable
position on the floor of the launch and
there remained until the boat reached
port.
Notwithstanding the difficulties at
tending navigation between their
homes and town, Mr. and Mrs. Schrin
ger are loud in their praises of Hinch
inbrook as a place of residence. Mr
Schringer has taken up a homestead
and will conduct a summer resort
there, so that those who may visit the
island may be assured of comfortable
quarters and the excellent meals for
which he is noted. He reports hunt
ing good in the vicinity as all the
chickens he took out with him have
gone "wild,” and the only means o)
capturing them is by means of a shot
gun. He says they beat grouse, ex
cept for the slightly fishy taste they
have acquired from foraging along the
beach.
Fred also states that fur is very
plentiful on the island this year and
that with a string of traps he has
captured a number of mink. Owing
to the extremely low price to which
irs have fallen he will keep them and
have them made into a coat.
Although the community at Hln
chinbrook is a small one, Christmas
day was celebrated with all the eclat
}f larger setliements. With Mr. Bos
well as a guest Mr. and Mrs. Schring
?r set forth a Christmas dinner not
surpassed by any in Cordova, and
nusic of the finest, provided by the
phonograph, accompanied the feast.
Santa Claus did not overlook the small
settlement, and gifts were left for all.
While admitting that it is pleasant
a visit town occasionally, all the mem
bers of the party prefer the life of
iheir island home, and as the storm
sub sides, will return.

The Alaska Steamship Co. hai
awarded the contract for alteration t<
the steamship Northwestern to thi
Seattle Construction & Dry Dock Co
The vessel is now at that plnnt wher
the work is being so rushed that sir
' will be in readines to re-enter th
spring trade in Alaska.
Chief among the alteration is th<
conversion of the vessel from coal t<
oil as fuel. The Dahl oil burnlnj
system will be installed, which wll
have the effect of somewhat speedinf
the vessel up and creating some adui
tionnl cargo space. While undergolnf
this work the awning deck will be ex
tended from the dining saloon for
ward, upon both sides, which will give
a covered deck and promenade simi
lar to the Alameda and Mariposa. The
interior of the steamship will be furn
Isbed and painted, making her accom
modations equal in all respects to the
Mariposa and Alameda.
Reconstruction of the well known
veteran Alaska steamship Santa Ana
at a cost of approximately $20,000 so
that she can take the place of the dost
steamship Dirigo on the company's
Seward-Alaska Peninsula run, lias be
gun. The vessel, which has passed
practically all her career in the Sea
tle-Alaska route, will be ready to
leave for the North in time to make
the February trip on the Alaska Pen
insula route w'ith passengers, freight
and mail.
With the arrival of the Santa Ana
in the north, the “big little” steam
ship Dora, which handled the Alaska
Poninsula route for years until last
summer when she was replaced by the
larger and more commodious steam
ship Dirigo, will leave for Seattle.
The Dirigo, foundered at sea in a
heavy gale November 16, while re
turning to this port for her annual
inspection.
The Dora which had been held as a
reserve boat at Cordova, was then
returned to the route in which she
had won renown as the ship that
nothing could sink. The Seward-Al
aska Peninsula run is the most north
erly winter steamship route in the
world and from fall until spring is
whipped by gales and snowstorms.
When the reconstruction work,
which will be performed by the com
pany's own men under the direction
of Superintendent R. R. Pierson, is
completed, the Santa Ana will have ac
commodations for seventy-five first
I
class passengers nnd twenty-five or
more steerage passengers. It will be
poslbie to extend the steerage accom
1 modations when more space is re
1 quired. She will also have a cargo
' capacity of 600 tons.
The Santo Ana is an oil-burner,
equipped with tankage sufficient for
the Southeastern Alaska run in which
she has been operated in recent years.
As the new route is much longer, ad
ditional tankage will be provided.
Tlie vessel's upper works will be
painted white and the hull black.
With the exception of the plucky
little Dora which fought the Alaska
Peninsula elements year after year i
and always came out winner, probably
no steamship in the Alaska service is
better known than the Santa Ana. She
is a wooden-hull vessel, built in 1900
in Coob Bay, Oregon, with a length of 1
182 feet, a beam of 36 feet and a depth 1
of hold of 12 feet. She is equipped •
with triple expansion engines. At
present the vesel, which is of 1,059
tons, has accommodations for fifty
first class passengers.
