! SAYS AL—KI’S HULL IS PARTLY
FILLED WITH THE SAND?:
t
Marine men and others recently
| classed as absurd a statement car
ried in the Associated Press newi
from Seattle that there was enough
left of the hull of the wrecked Al-Ki t*
j salvage. The Seattle Times of Febru
ary 19 says:—
“That the hull of the wooden steam
ship Al-Ki, which went ashore in
Haw'k inlet, southeastern Alaska, ok
March 12 1918, may be floated after
the engines and boilers have been re
moved, is the Nvord received in SeattV
from the north.
“The Al-Ki is lying high on the j
sands of Hawk Inlet It is said thr
she is proving a paying proposition t j
her salvors. The hull is partly filled j
with sand according to advices from |
the north, and this condition will not j
hinder the aalvors in their work. They
expected to patch up the hull and dra$.
the vessel into deep water just as soon j
as the winter storms are over in Alas-1
ka.
NO CHANCE TO GO TO
SIBERIA THIS YEAR !
_ i
All Alaskans on the outaidd thi»1
winter were looking with longing eyiv j
toward Siberia, and had conditions i
been favorable this spring would have
witnessed the greatest stampede nine > i
; the day of the Klondike rush, accord
| ing to Mike Sullivan wh6 recently dr« |
I rived from Seattle.
5 Practically every northerner was
making plans for the trifc across tho
Pacific, but inquiry at the Russian
consulate in Seattle disclosed the fart
that although the new government on •
fpacts soon to welcome the American j
to the country, they yet are not ready
to allow o big influx.
The reasons given are that if man;/
Americans went to Siberia now >jtlv
people there would gain the impres
sion that the country had been given
over to this country and trouble would
result. It is expected that it will be at
least two years before the country
will be opened to the Americans un
less some definite action fn regards
to Siberia is taken at the peace con
ference.
