LAUNCH WAIF GOES
ON ROCKS, WRECKED
The launch Waif, owned and oper--'
ated by Chas. Matthews was wreck
ed last week near Channel Island
and is believed to be a total loss,
which is estimated at $10,000. Somej
insurance was carried on the boat
according to the Cordova Times.
The Waif left for Middleton Island
with considerable freight for the
I bach’s fox farm. This has been dis
charged and the boat was returning
and but a short distance from Cor
dova when the accident occurred.
Matthews, who had been at the
wheel, went below to oil the engine,
when, a north wind came up and
blew7 the boat off its course. The
other people on the boat were asleep j
at the time, but all succeeded in get
ting ashore before it was dashed on
the rocks.
An effort is to be made to salvage
the engine, which is comparatively
newT and was installed at a cost of
over $5,000.
Miss Estella Long, a resident of
Anchorage, arrived on last night’s
train and will leave on one of the
next boats for the States. She will
return in March.
