COMING NORTH M
R. Vogel and H. O. Vogel, of Los
Angeles, have left Seattle in the form
er's handsome yatch Ituna on an ex
teended hunting and fishing trip to
Alaska.
The brothers plan to proceed along
the inside passage by easy stages,
stopping wherever they think the
hunting and fishing may be good and
will explore the inlets and rivers en
route by means of a lunch which the
Ituna carries. They will go as far
north as Skagway on the South east
ern route and then come to Cordova
and go as far westward as Knlk.
Vogel purchased the yacht, a steam
craft with accommodations for a
party of nine or ten persons and a
crew of sixteen men. last November in
New York and brought her to the
coast last winter by way of Panama
Canal. She was built for an English
nobleman in the shipyards at Glas
gow. The yacht has traveled about
10,000 miles since she passed into
Vogel’s possession, and he says
she has proved herself thoroughly
sea worthy.
The Ituna is 160 feet long and of
graceful lines. Her interior furnish
ings are luxurious, the staterooms and
cabins being finished in various kinds
of beautiful woods.

STEAMER DELHI
KETCHIKAN, Aug. 6—It is the be
lief of transportation men here that
the steamship Delhi, wrecked in Sum
ner Strait last winter and salved by
two Ketchikan men will become the
running mate of the steam schooner
Alliance, which is now on her first
Alaskan voyage. The company which
operates the Alliance is under the
management of Richard Semmes, for
merly an official with the Admiral
Line.
The Delhi is lying at anchor on
the flats at the mouth of Ketchikan
creek, having been towed here re
cently from Sumner Strait. She Is
the property of J. R. Heckman and
Capt. James Sayles, Mr. Heckman
having purchased for $20,000 the in
terest of Carl Lancaster, who with
Sayles, salved the Delhi after she had
been abandoned by the Victoria wreck
■
ing concern which was at work on her.
Captain Walter H. Tlnn of Seattle,
who is associated with Capt. E. T.
Barnette, formerly of Fairbanks, has
ben examining the Delhi, with the
assistance of a diver. He secured an
option on the wreck, and has gone to
Seattle, presumably to confer with
Mr. Semmes. News that Semmes’
company would buy the Delhi if the
price were satisfactory, leaked out
while Capt. Tinn was here.
The owners of the Delhi had ex
pected to take the wreick to Prince
Rupert, B. C„ ninety miles south of
here, where, it was believed, repairs
could be made to permit her reaching
Seattle under her own steam. How
ever it was learned that the duty
would be 60 per cent of the cost of
the repairs, and the idea was aban
doned.
The Delhi, at the time of her wreck,
was owned by the Pacific Coast Com
pany. She struck on Strait Island,
Sumner Strait, during a fog. She was
under command of Capt. F. Nystrom.
