DORA SAILS FOR
TOE LAST TIME?
After nearly 20 years’ active service
in Alaskan waters, ten years of w hich
have been out of this port to west
ward, the steamer Dora bade good bye
to Sewaid at 3 o’clock this afternoon,
but the general impression is that she
won’t be ijone loni*. She will be mid
up at Cordova.
“You’ll see her back before tin* m
mer.s over,” said one of the old timers
down on the dock to see her o '. uU
can’t tfet that old boat oway from Sew
ard ’till she’s sunk.’’

If I ever make up my mind
To sail westward,
To Unga or Nushagak or any other
boat of call out there in the land of the
Kskimos, Aleuter and cod fishermen,
l will never go on the D>rigo.
Not a step.
(>r a fathom.
Mocause I’ve got a hunch that Dora
has it in for that new comer.
Did you hear the snarl that the old
woman of the western ocean »et out
this afternoon when Captain McMullen
started for Cordova with her?
To lay her up alongside the “Copper
Gate” dock
And take down her engines and draw
her fires.
And I’ve get another hunch that the
old craft's mascot is a shark
Or a devil fish
< )i* some other cantankerous sea var
mint.
And that when tin* Dora is tied up,
hard and fast at Cordov a,
Said varmint will flit its tail and
blither away through the slimy deep
And lay in wait for tlie Dirigo.
And some dark night when the wind
is howling up out the wild waste of
the Pacific and the seas are rolling
mountain high,
Aforesaid varmint will hodoo the
skipper,
Flimflam the pilot.
Put the kibosh on the man at the
wheel
And presto,
SOS from the Dirigo
Hard and fast on the unchartered
reef.
Then back to its old love the twice
before mentioned critter will speed,
--
And pilot the jealous old girl
Back to the trail she knows so well,
and has traveled so long.
