Seattle Oct. 2 5 Word was re
ceived in thi- city yesterday of
the finding in the Sea of Ok
hotsk off the northern coast of
Siberia, locked in the ice. of
the hull of the old steamship
Centennial. She sailed from
this port during the Russian
Japanese war with a load of
supplies for Valdivostok and
neither the boat nor crew were
ever heard of again, so it was
supposed that she had been
sunk by a Japanese patrol
vessel. The hull is all twisted
and warped with the action of
the ice and storms, but appar- i
ently able to float. The life
boat falls are hanging from the
davits indicating that the craw
escaped in the boats at the
time the vessel was deserted.

WHARF COLLAPSES
While the steamer Al-ki
was discharging coal on to
Strong's dock, part of the
wharf collapsed, dropping a
bout twenty tons of coal into
the water. Considerable ex
citement prevailed on the
wharf at the time as the man
who was standing on the coal
pile dumping the coal
buckets, had disappeared, and
it was thought for a time that
he gone down with the coal
in to the water. Lights were
being brought to bear on the
hole when he was seen coming
on the dock from up the street
It later developed that he had
gotten scared when the tim
bers began to crak and ran for
it, and didn’t come to until he
was half way to Indian town.
