S. S. SUSHI IS PORT
The S. S. Alaska, Capt. J. G. Nord.
commander, slipped into port this
morning at 10 o’clock a couple of
hours ahead of the time anyone look
; ed for but as one Oldtimer remarked
I That is generally the case with the
■ speedy vessel. Passengers came
streaming off the vessel until one
wondered where they all came from
and among them were many familiar
faces—Alaskans who have had enough
of the States so are back home in the
native land once more.
A good size cargo is being dischar
i ed locally of which about 100 tons
| will be sent to Westward ports on
the S. S. Redondo and the steamer
Starr. The Alaska remains over un
til tomorrow night in order to permit
the many round-trippers an oppor
i
tunity to spend the Fourth of July
• ashore.
