Divert Here to Convert Hull Into
Junk—Expect to Clear 8mall
Fortune at It.
!
Four divers came up on the steam
er Mariposa to commence the work
of wrecking the steamer Olympia,
which was wrecked off Blyth’s island
December 10, 1910, and abandoned by
the underwriters to the Alaska
Steamship company. Shortly after
the wreck all of value was taken off
the vessel by Captain Westbrook and
a crew of men, but. it is now pro
posed to take the entire hull to
pieces and ship the iron hull to Seat
tle as junk.
The divers will also descend into
the hold, of the boat and take the
machinery apart and ship it also to
■the Spirit City.
; The divers are working under a
.contract with the steamship company
; whereby they will receive 40 per cent
the returns of the sale of junk and
the company the balance. The steam
ship company is to furnish transpor
tation of the junk to Seattle.
The divers expect to reap a small
fortune out of their work on the
Olympia.
The Olympia was wrecked at 11
o'clock p. m- on Dec. 10, 1910, while
coining from Cordova to Valdez, it
was on a Saturday night and Captain
Daniels tried to take his ship be
tween the reef and Blyth’s island and
as she was loaded heavy in the bow
and light astern the boat would not
answer her helm and was blown on
the reef. The wireless call for help
was heard by the operator at Whits
hed and Cordova was notified, but no
boat large enough to stand the sea
then raging was available at the
railroad town and it was necessary to
wait until the cable office opened at
10 o’clock Sunday morning, when
both the Valdez and Cordova cable
offices opened. The launch Donald
son the the June immediately went
to the scene and. brought the pas
sengers to Valdez. Judge Cushman
and Mrs. Cushman and the entire
court house officials of the Third di
vision were on the ship at the time,
as also were many of the attorneys
of this division, as a term of court
had been held at Cordova and just :
completed when the steamer left
there.
The Olympia has stood since the
wreck in an upright position and to
the incoming passengers il appears
to be an outgoing vessel beaded (or
the open sea. it has stood and :
weathered the many fierce gales that
have swept Prince William sound.
Ames, Ejected Town Treasurer.
At the council meeting hist night
the resignation of C. C, Reynolds as
town treasurer was accepted fo take
effect February 1. E. G. Ames was
the only applicant fo rthe position and
he was unanimously elected.
Colonel Frank B. McCoy has been
placed in command of the Thirtieth
infantry now stationed, at Alaska
forts. Colonel McCoy has taken com
mand of regimental headquarters at
Fort William H. Seward. Those who
know Colonel McCoy speak in the
highest terms of him and, the offi
cers of the Thirtieth infantry are glad
that he is to be their commanding
Officer.
