ON NIOO TIDE
The steamship Northwestern went
j aground late yesterday afternoon
t while trying to make a landing tit the
! ()r< : 1 carte ty dock, .about three miles
i Horn lien it was at high tide, and
as there wa a wind bloving at the
| time, Captain Hunter was unable to
• l-eep |lie vessel from going ashore.
Two lines were immediately thrown
cm!, hut the winches were unable to
; re! tire* ve sel afloat.
There were about forty-five passen
gers from Seward and Valdez on
; hoard, arid they were immediately
! sent to Cordova in small boats, and
! are being eared for at the different
hotels.
Tenders and barges from the Car
lisle. San Juan. Clarke-t’.raham and
Pioneer canneries responded to the
'■.ill for a sist inee in lightering the
freight, and within fifteen minutes
' were on their way to the stranded
vessel More than 500 barrels and a
large number of cases of fish were
unloaded, as well as the oil aboard,
which was pumped into the bay in
order to lighten the cargo. She still
has more than a thousand tons of cop
per concentrates from the Latouche
mine in her hold.
The Northwestern is renting on the
mud at a nine-degree list .and is ap
parently not damaged, it is believed
that she can he floated on the high
tide at tl o'clock tonight. If unsuc
cessful the Admiral Watson will
likely give her a line late tonight.
