Heavy Loses By Storm

Yesterday's storm caught Sawyer
4 McKay, -.be well known loggers
. transferring one of their outfits
from Thorn Bay, Prince of Wales
Island to Clover Pass or. this island,
where they had arranged to get out
* some piling
They had one heavy float with »
donkev engine and gear aboard aac
* two smaller ones with cook house
a»i small cabin on them in tow of
their gas boat Judge. There was a
high southeast breeie in crossing
the straits, but off Cape Caroano. a
strong southwest wind struck iherr
*o suddenly that the Judge was tm
afeie to hold her tow. An effort was
made to tern the two smaller Posts
adrift and save the donkey enigrnc
and equipment, this necessitated the
catting of an inch and a quarter
steel cable under very difficult cir
nnsstamce-s and before it could be
accomplished the whole outfit was
* apes the beach and the Judge had to
ran for shelter. Later in the day
they returned to the scene of the
wreck and found that the two Sight
scows had gone to pieces and the
donkey float still holding together
though being pounded so bard by the
seas that it vrfll probably go to piec
es too if thestonr continues.
. The two bouses with all their con
tents were of course a total loss, but
it is though: that the donkey engine
will be saved even though the float
is destroyed.

GREECE ANSWERS SERBIA
BUCHAREST. Oct. 14.—Answer
big Serbia's note in which she wasj
reminded of her treaty, Rumania, in >
the most friendly terms, replied that
the treaty referred to imposed nc I
obligator, on Greece’s part to go to ;

had Greece construed the treaty _i®J
the manner that Serbia did, she
would be compelled to go to her as- f
sistance.

take a hand and will remain neutral
unless public sentiment becomes such j
as to threaten the peace of the coon
