f ARALLON SAILS SOUTHWARD
Returns from Westward in Three
Days and Leaves Again
Steamer Farallon returned from the
westward Sunday afternoon at 4j
o’clock and sailed for the southward at
11. Sne was ready to go at ."> but on
account of the thickening weather
t'apt. Mc(Iregor decided to lie at the
wharf until an hour which would take)
him to the straits of Prince William
Sound after daylight this morning.
The Farallon will take on ore at La-1
touche.
Nothing is known of the Dora at the
ports touched by the Farallon. I he
last heard of the little westward boat j
was when she left Kodiak December 24 j
for Dutch Harbor and wav ports. It
is assumed that she has lu >*n tied up ,
by the unusually rough weather which i
has prevailed all along the coast as far i
as Southern California'during Decern- j
her and Junnary. The Farallon hud
passable weather except that she was
j held twelve hours at the entrance to
i Cook inlet before she could get inside
to go to Seldovia and Homer. From
j there she went to Kodiak and straight j
back to Seward. She was gone only j
tin •ee days and six hours, almost a re-1
cord trip for this time of year.
It is reported to he the intention of,
the Northwestern Steamship Company j
to send a boat to the westward soon on ,
the Dora’s run to look up the missing j
steamer and to take freight and mail j
to the ports on that run, which have
had none for two months, and some of
them perhaps not for three months, j
It had been thought here that the
Excelsior would go westward from
Seward but, she went back to Valdez
without receiving the order. Freight
Clerk Lockhart of the Oregon, who is
temporarily acting as agent for the
company in Seward, thinks the Excel
sior went back to Seattle because*
otherwise the company would have no
boat to sail by the inside passage Feb
ruary 16, and the mail contract im
peratively requires that a steamer
should sail on that date from Seattle.
The Santa Ana is to make an extra
trip, sailing February 6, and she msiy
possibly be sent westward.
The halibut crop of Wrangel, Petter
burg and Juneau is said to be shorter
this season than last.
