- - The long-awaited USAT ’’Buford'1 arrived at this
port t rora Seward, Alaska, Wednesday, August 16th*, on her way south
with the soldiers, supplies, and other surplus of the Westward and
interior Alaskan posts. The boat was well crowded, bearing in addition
to several Army officers and their families who or©'.making the round
trip, quite a number of Alaskan officers who have finished their tour
of duty in the Territory and are on their way to the States* Capts.
Wear, Moore, and Beringer.M.C.,are on their was out from Ft.6t.Michael,
Capt. Stearns,M. C.,from Ft. Biscun, with abbut 150 men from St.Michael,
Anchorage, Gibbon, and Biscum. A large amout of the supplies of Forts
St.Michael,Gibbon,and Biscura, which have now been abandoned, are being
taken back to the States, but an abundant portion of the surplus mat
erials of these same posts is being left, here at Ft. Seward, as the
fatigue parties can testify. We aught to be fitted out with everything
from a needle to a steamship for about the next three years, to judge
from a look at the dock .and surrounding territory. Three officers and
13 men fron Ft. Liscum, and twG officers and 7 men from St. Michael
have decided to-view the magnificent scenery and enjoy the undoubted
advantages of Ft. Seward for the next year or so, while Ft. Gibbon
has done her share by adding a medical Captain to our local garrison.
But our gain is diminished by the loss of 26 men from our list by
reason of expiration of foreign service, etc.,etc. It looks like a
hard winter. The "Buford” sailed southward at three oSclock this
morning.
