CITY OF PUEBLA
SAILS TOMORROW
Alameda Will Sail on November 17
for Southwestern Alaska Ports—
Boats Are Off Schedule.
The local office of the Alaska
Steamship company received informa
tion from Seattle this morning to the
effect that the steamer City of Puebla,
which had been billed to leave Seat
tle today for Valdez and other South
western Alaska ports, has been de
layed one day and will said at 9:00
o’clock tomorrow evening.
The steamer Alameda, which is now
en route to Seattle, is scheduled to
leave Seattle for Alaska on Wednes
day, November 17, and will go to An
chorage if conditions on the Cook In
let will permit.
Owing to the many accidents which
have happened to the vessels of the
company’s fleet, all schedules are off
for the time being but the company
is exerting every effort to render the
best service possible.
An enormous demand is reported
for freight space to Anchorage as the
Alaskan Engineering commission’s
plans were disrupted through the
wrecking of the steamer Mariposa, ne
cessitating ordering new machinery
from the states.
The Kansas City, the company’s
new liner, leaves Seattle tonight for
Southwestern Alaska ports with a
capacity cargo of freight for Seward
and Anchorage, and as she comes the
outside route it is expected that she
will establish a new record.

The wharf at the Cliff mine is soon

day afternoon to the mine. The piles
were contracted for and delivered
several weeks ago.
The piles to be used by Mr. Ellis
in rebuilding the wharf are of Alaska

cedar is believed to be practically im

MARIPOSA FLOATED
SAFE ANCHORAGE
Alaska Liners Successfully Floated
From Rocks and Will Be Towed
to Drydock for Rebuilding.
-*
VICTORIA, Nov. 4.—The steam
ship Mariposa, the Alaska Steamship
company’s liner, which was wrecked
last month on Porcher Island, near
Bella Bella, B. C., has been success
fully floated by the British Columbia
Wrecking company. The Mariposa
has been towed to McLaughlin Bay,
a safe anchorage opposite Bella Bel
la islands, where she will receive
further repairs before being towed
to drydock.
Reports from Seattle state that all
all the drydocks there are-filled and
vessels awaiting their turns and it is
believed that the Mariposa may be
taken to Esquimau or Prince Rupert
for rebuilding. It is stated that with
the exception of a thirty foot hole in
her bow, the hull is uninjured from
coming in contact with the rocks
upon which she has been resting.
SAVS GOVERNMENT
OWES KIM $9,000
Manager of Akutau Whaling Station
Makes Light of Charges Pre
ferred by Discharged Sailor.
—
Capt. K. B. Birkland, who was
mentioned in dispatches the other
day as having raced from Akutan isl
and to the bedside of his son who is
dying in a Seattle hospital, is the su
perintendent of the North Pacific Sea
Products company, with headquarters
at Alutan.
The company has been in business
three years and owns the station and
two whaling vessels, the Kodiak and
the Unimak. He reported in Seward
on his way south, that the first year
the company operated they caught
310 whales, the second year 307 and
this year 307. This is the first year
the company has operated at a profit
owing to a lack of system. The value
of this year’s product is reported to
be worth $200,000. and the cost of
catching, refining and preparing the
bones into fertilizer, amounted to
about $125,000, leaving a profit of
$75,000.
Capt. Birkland is the man whom a
fireman who had been discharged
from the station charged with hav
ing used the revenue cutters for ten
ders owing to his having a pull with
some congressmen who owned stock
in the company. In speaking of the
charge Capt. Birkland said:
“I might say^that the coast guard
service is indebted to me about $9000,
but I don’t expect to collect it. When
the revenue cutter Tahoma was
wrecked last year we caught her S.
O. S. and sent the Kodiak out to hunt
for the wreck. It was the first boat
on the scene and rescued the crew.
While the Kodiak was away the Uni
male caugni wnaies wurtu f*v,vw,
and we figure that the rescue trip
cost us just that much. This year
the coast guard cutter offered to take
me from Unalga to the station thus
saving the time it would have taken
for a whaler to come and get me.
For this favor I am willing to credit
Uncle Sam with $1,000.
“The sailors had no cause for com
plaint. We gave them the best to
eat that could be bought, plenty of
butter, white sugar and vegetables,
the like of which no whaler ever car
ried in days past. But they were a
restless bunch, and were determined
to get paid off and shipped back to
Seattle, so they took to throwing food
overboard. It didn’t work. The
shipping commissioner at Unalaska
told them they were lucky not to be
put in jail and they had to pay their
own fare.”
