PORTLAND SAILS SOUTH
Held at Seldovia by Congestion
of Freight
Steamer Portland returned last night
from Seldovia at T.'iO and sailed again
at 9 for Seattle. She was gone on her
Seldovia trip nearly six days, the delay
being caused solely by the congestion
| of freight at that place. She waited
two days before attempting to dis
charge, as both inlet steamers were
gone and ( apt. Lindquist wanted to
know whether they could take care of
| his cargo before he left it.
'The discharging had to be done en
tirely in small boats as the lighters j
were all loaded and being used as ware-,
houses, The available portion of the]
j beach is piled high with freight and it
is hard to reach a place to leave any
thing. (apt. Blodgett's house is nearly
lihed with goods which have to be pro-j
touted from the weather, and he has j
scarcely been left a place to sleep.
