WILLIAM WARD
JSMISSING
DI8APPKARKI) WHII.K IN PORT
Member of the Mariposa f’rcw Missed
Shortly Alter Steamer Had l>eft
Valdez for the West—No Trace of
Missing Man.
While the steamer Mariposa was
in port here last Tuesday. William
Ward, a member of the steward’s de
partment, was known to have been
aboard the vessel, but shortly after
the vessel left he could not be found
aboard. On the return of the steam
er here Saturday evening inquiries
were made but no trace of the man
was found, and it is believed that he
may have fallen overboard either
while the steamer laid at the dock or
shortly after she left. No one aboard
the vessel had heard any call or other
sound to indicate (hat a man had
gone overboard, but no other explana
tion of his disappearance is forth
coming.
There is a bare possibility that the
man may have gone uptown while
the steamer was in port and got left,
and that he sailed south on the Alas
ka, which came in trom the westward
a few hours later, but if so no one on
the dock remembers seeing him.
