to the wharf to meet an old friend

spent several weeks here during the
summer of 1912 and she has ever

she joined her mother and it was not
leng befoe she was a favorite among
her new' circle of friends. H. G.

at the home of the bride and was tne
occasion of much merry making by a
large number of friends. Mrs. Krool

- " — —
The steamer Yukon remained at
anchor last night at Port Etches,
this side of Cape Hinchinbrook,
awaiting the storm to abate before
proceeding to Katalla. And in the
meantime an anxious and sorely tried
party of government men, to the
number of 35, are awaiting the ar
rival of the steamer at Wingham Is
land, near the coal and oil metropolis
of Katalla. This is the party that
has been coal mining in the Bering
river fields for the past three months.
They took out from the Cunningham
claim, and sacked it for shipment,
855 tons of fine quality of steaming
coal. They returned to Katalla a
couple of weeks ago and had expect
ed to sail for Seattle on the steamer
Northwestern. A storm, however,
prevented that steamer from putting
in, so the party are now awaiting the
Yukon.
On the third of December Capt.
Durkee took the party on his launch
over to Wingham, expecting to get to
the big steamer with greater safety
from that point. He stood by for a
couple of days and then after losing
two anchors returned to Katalla. On
Monday the Captain realized that the
men in camp must be running short
of food supplies, so he made an at
tempt to reach them but was com
pelled to turn back. In the mean
time a heavy sea was running and a
strong wind was blowing, so that he
was unable to go to their rescue.
This morning, however, the w'eather
conditions had improved some, and
with his stock of provisions the
Captain reached the island. The
party had undoubtedly been on limit
ed rations as they originally only
took three or four days supply.
Capt. Durkee and his launch Triton
are now standing by, expecting the
arrival of The Yukon tonight. If it
should not arrive the Triton will re
main so long as the weather condi
tions will permit, as it is only by
means of this launch that the govern
ment party will be able to get aboard
the steamer, if she is able to put in
near the Island.
The 855 tens o' -arked coal is at
Stillwater creel: near the Cunning
ham group, and >. ill be brought to
tidewater some time this w inter. |
The matter of transi»orting It is in
the hands of Dr. Bowney. represent
ing the United States navy. He ex
pects to bring it out over snow and
ice and it will, then be taken to Puget
Sound and the coal tested by some of
the government warships, in the
meantime Dr. Bowney is making him
self comfortable with Jim Ryan at
his cabin.
