PARAMITA WRECKED AT
LOST HARBOR-ALL SAVED
The Northwestern sailed at an early
hour this morning for Seattle and way
points with passengers from the west
ward picked up from the Dora which
was storm hound in Port Dick. Among
those taken from the Dora were 4o
seamen from the Amer ican ship Para
mita, of tlie Bristol Bay Packing com
pany, which was wrecked near l n
ala.ska May 14.
The Paramita. Captain N. Wagner,
sailed fro.u San Francisco in April with
a cargo of sanitary canning machinery
and a personnel of 171 men, including
the owner, L. A. Peterson, cannery
h inds and crew. May 13 the Paramita
hove to in a gale awaiting favorable
weather to navigate Akatauor l uimak
pass.
During the thick weather the vessel
d-ifted close to Piorka island. They
let go both anchors and when she hove
up her stern commenced to pound.
Getting up sail Captain Wagner worked
her otT the rocks but bumped a reef
and when he finally reached deep water
there was four feet of water in the
hold and it was gaining on the pumps.
They started for Unalaska ^ut were
held up in Akatan pass by a contrary
tide and nearly foundered right there.
A heavy slant of wind forced them
through, but there was then 11 feet of
water in the hold, so they made for
the beach, putting her aground in Lost
harbor at 11:30 o’clock on the morning
of the 14th.
When day broke they found smoke
pouring from the hatches, the water
having started a lire in some lime in
the lower hold. They stopped the
pumps and battened everything down
tight, and after some time the tire was
smothered.
Captain Wagner put out his anchors
to keep her from drifting into deep
water and stalled for Unalaska in a
small boat with Peterson. On the way,
4s miles, they encountered a severe
blow and had a hard time making port.
Then they found that the revenue cut
ter Tahoma was just across a neck of
land ubout a mile and a half from
where the Parmita beached. Before
they returned a southwest storm drove
the ship over her own anchors and
ripped out several planks.
The revenue cutter Tahoma at
tempted to pump the Parmita out be
fore this damage was known and then
divers from the cruiser Buffalo ex
arnined the hull and told the owner
that she would he a total loss.
The cannery hands were taken on to
Koggiuug, in Bristol bay, and 10 of the
crew were left to watch the wreck.
The steamer Wasp is euroute from
San Franc5sco and will attempt to sal
vage part of the cargo.
It is estimated that the loss is $90,000.
Part of the cargo of the Pararaita
was a $30,000 refrigerating plant. It
was the purpose of the company to es
tablish a new system of canning and in
cases where large catches were made
to freeze the fish until they could be
handled.
