With her rail gone in several
place?, but otherwise in fairly j
good shape, the staunch old!
steamer Dora made port be_ j

this mor::.: u on her wav south'
for a general overhauling and
repairing. If w 11 be remem.. 1
bered that on the morning of
Dee. 7 a fnrioim gale tore the
Dora from her : >r!ng? at the

who sent Capt. E. C. C.enereaux

j built around the steamer and
then went to work and pumped
-v. v. r from the vessel. The
h e that was stove in her side
‘was repaired, the offer dam re
(moved and the high tide easily
; floated ihe steamer.
At the time she went ashore
she had completed her last trip
• :o the westward for a few
weeks, arrangements had been
made to send her to Seattle for
her aunnai overhauling, and the
steamer Yukon had been en..
» ged to fdl the Dora’s sehed.
de to the westward.
It was early on the morning
of Dec. 7 that the Dora was
torn from her mooring at the
Reward .’.u'k and hurled across
he narrow stretch of water
nd cast helpless on a sandy
each while a driving storm of
ain and -!eet raged.
Until two hours before day
.teak the Dora he'd to her
floorings. but the strength of
he -torm then over powered,
er. and with a ru-h -he was
torn from the wharf and shot
across the rushing waters. It 1
was low tide when the Dora
struck on the sandy beach, and
with the incoming waters she '
was moved shoreward with the j
terrific southwest gale and the
\mendous wave force gener
ated by the storm. High over
the smokestack and rigging the
spray was thrown. Bursting
steam pipes added their con.. \
fusion to the general uproar. !
and the scene was one to in.. !
spire terror. Small waves
breaking under the bilges work
ed with trip hammer effect,
and their battering seemed to
threaten with surety the com
plete demolition of the Dora.
But she was accustomed to j
rough usage. When the tide j
receded at 2 o'clock in the af
ternoon, she was perched high
and dry on the white, sandy
beach. But at high tide the an
gry seas have pounded her
wooden sides and beaten her
planking until it seemed as
though she would surely go to
pieces. However, Gapl. Gen..
ereaux brought her to rights
and not much injury has been
done.
She was puired of the beach
December 27. Four days were
spent in drying her out and
taking coal and supplies on
board, and on the last day of
the old year she started south.
January 2 she left Cordova, and
since then has been fighting
head winds and bad weather
generally. She was to have
gone in to Juneau, but the gale
sweeping down Icy Straits
wore too much for her, and she
swung south to Cape Omaney,
come between Cape Deeis..
ion and the Spanish Islands
where the Ramona was wreck ,
ed in 1011, tying up .'cr the
night ai Shakan, and then on
to ibis poet.
Of course the pounding she
received while on tlie beach
sprung some of her seams a
little so that some water came
| aboard but her pumps have
no diffieulay in keeping the
water down. Upon arrival at
Seattle she will be drydoeked
and generally overhauled and
repaired.

New York, Jan. 10—In a let.. '
ter to Frank Munsev the mag
azine publisher, made public |
today. Colonel Roosevelt states j
that he is opposed to any com.. !
bination of the Progressives
with the regular Republican or .
ganization. He gives as his
reason that the latter cannot j
be trusted to keep their side of !
any agreement and »uch being |
the case they would not keep j
faith In addition to this he said ,
that the Progressive party rep j
resented a principle and it was !
the desire to secure the fruition ,
therof more than the des'm^j,
for office that caused its birth
hence. “Fusion is impossible.”
