TUG DID NOT
SAIL ON 8TH
(Continued from page 1)
sent out the first “Monday" men-1
tioned? Whether that false report j
was imposed by officials of the steam
ship company upon the correspondent,
who accepted it trustfully without
looking through the marine news of
the Seattle dailies afterward to verify j
it, or whether the steamship company
connived with the correspondent and
the Seattle papers to impose a false
report upon Southern Alaska, is a
matter of curiosity merely, which may
possibly be determined when the Port
land arrives with the newspapers
aforesaid, provided she does not go the
way of several other Alaska "steam
ers” vouchsafed to this suffering land
by the commercial exuberance of the
Seattle spirit.
The in format ton that the Equator
sailed October 15 was given last night
to the Seward cable office by the chie
of the Valdez general office, with per
mission to give it free circulation. A
report from Seattle that she really did
sail is no assurance of the fact. It
may be like the first "report,” but
then nobody here cares whether she
sailed or not. People understand
that §he did not sail the 8th, "as re
ported.” The steamship company did
not take the trouble' to send any fn
formation to its agent here during the
entire hiatus.
In its multifarious expansion Seat
tie, together with all that in it is,
seems to combine the fungous pro
ductivity of the mushroom with the
virtues of the toadstool, and its custom
ers never know which of those ex
crescent cryptogams they ate getting
from its stock.
