NEARLY LOST INS SHIP
Excelsior Broke from Seattle Dock
Without Capt. Jordan
When ( apt. Jordan of the steamer
Excel situ went down Jo the Enhinson
dock in Seattle after clearing for the
pi-« stilt trip at the custom house lie
was unable to see any tiling of his
steamer, which was supposed to be
waiting for him. As the captain had
not been drinking he knew he was at
tin- right dock, and he hunted up the
u harfmaster and demanded :
Where’s my ship V*
••You haven't any ship/' wasthe an
swer. “She hnsgoneaway without you.
H deckhands are running the boat."
('apt. .Iordan was dissatisfied with
the information and pursued the in
quiry until the wharfmastt r said:
••Well I guess you can get your tub
it you want to swim for it. There she
is. out in t he si ream."
About that time the Excelsior ap
proaehed the wharf and it was learned
that one of the engineers had accident
ally slatted tin propelling machinery
.••id the steamer had snapped every
fastening and made a running jump
if the direction of West Seattle.
NEWSBOYS CALL STRIKE

Selling Outside papers
The small Ians who have been sell
ir.” outside newspapers for the local

numerous buildings announcing a
"Notts': ..\s’ Strike.” No retailed in

but H um statements made for a day or
t w o past in shrill treble it is known
that the boys demand one-third of the

The public is breathlessiv a wait in^r

PORTLAND SAILS SOUTH
Held at Seldovia by Congestion
or Freight
St> amor Portland returned Wednes
day night from Seldovia and sailed
again 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, a> both inlet steamers were
gone and l apt. Lindquist wanted to
know whether they could take care of
his cargo before he left it.
The discharging had to he done en
tirely in small boats as the lighters
were all loaded and being used as ware
houses. The available portion of the
beach is piled high with freight and it
is hard to reach a place to leave any
thing. ( apt. Blodgett’s house is nearly
tilled with goods which have to be pro
tected from the weather, and he has
scarcely been left a pku. to sleep.
New Steamer Agent Arrives
S. P. Brown, the new Seward agent
of the Northwestern Steamship Com.
pany. came in from Seattle lust Wednes
dap on the Excelsior. Mr. Brown is
well-known to transportation men of
the coast, having been connected for a
long time with the Seattle office of the
White 1 ‘ass & Yukon Hail way Com
pany.
Court Clerk In Seward
S. A. Crandall, clerk of the U. S.
: district court at Valdez, came to Sew
ard on the Excelsior to allow foreign
born residents not yet naturalized, an
! opportunity to make declaration of
| their intention to become citizens. He
will return to Valdez on the Excelsior.
S earner Shelikof came into port
yesterday morning, and sailed for
Valdez shortly afterward. She was
I returning from Unulaska.
