reports very bad weather and a rough
voyage after leaving his home port.
The steamer tried to make the landing
at liiamna but was driven hack by a
strong wind and blinding snow storm,
and had to run into the lir.st sheltering
harbor. When the storm abated they
mao> their way to Kodiak, and thence
to Seward, ( apt. Blodgett reported
last night a> being the finest he had
ever experienced on the water
bright moon-light, no wind and a calm
sea. They were live days on thi* way
from Seldovia to Seward.

o'clock this morning.

Triple Hoodoo
Steamship Northwestern left Seward
on Friday the hlth of December on her
thirteenth voyage of the year. The
following is taken from the Seattle
Times:
Horace Leach, a merchant and mi
nor of Seward, and Mrs. Leach, pas
j sengers, hurried to the Rainier-Grand
' Hotel after arriving here, and a phy
sician was sent for to care for Mrs.
Leach, who suffered much from the ef
fect of the voyage. Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
Cameron, of Seward, with their little
•Vy ear-old girl, who is also ill, were
passengers. Cameron is the chief
| engineer of the Alaska Central Rail
way and will go to California to spend
i the winter.
Leach and Cameron say that the
tr'p was the worst that they ever en
dured and that it was no wonder that
j the ship was all but lost with the
triple hoodoo, the unlucky “thirteen,”
hovering over her forepeak like an
evil spirit from the time she left Sew
ard until she entered the calm and
peaceful waters of the Sound.
“Never again will I embark on train
or ship on the thirteenth,” said Leach,
and Cameron and other passengers
present concurred.
