quarters at Chicago, has appointed
three new workers for the Orphan

on the March Portland.
Mr. Fanner, who is a practical

above all, an earnest Christian man,
has been appointed Assistant Super

We are greatly rejoiced that our
forces are to be so ably strengthened
by the coming of these excellent
young people, ff they anive in
March, it will then be live months
since Grandma Campbell left, and
nine months since Miss Ctaumer and
Mr. Coldwell went away; all thistime
we have been short handed. Mrs.
Mr.cArthur, and Mrs. Learn have fill
ed th. vacant matronships for the
lime very acceptably indeed, they
will both be glad to be relieved of
these tasks that have been forced lip
on them.
With Wasili A pizza’s help we have
gotten along very nicely with the out
side work, and the necessary repairs.
We can assure these workers who
are coining to us, and our fi iends who
have sent them, th..t they will receive
a most hearty welcome on their arriv
al at Wood Island. We are praying
that their coming may be a g.eat
blessing to us and the work.
The Dora goes down to Seattle each
year in Dec. for inspection and re
pairs. I.ast vest the Farallon took her
run, and in a severe storm off Barren
Islands lost her main mast and receiv
ed other injuries. This year again
she took the Dora’s Dec. ruu. She
made good time as far as Se Ido via.
On Jan. 4’.h, she left Seldovia and
should have arrived at Kodiak the 5th
or 6tli at the latest. The Portland ar
riving the 20th, (four days behind her
usual time) had seen nothing of her.
It is feared that she has either 1 een
wrecked or blown out to sea by the
severe storms that were raging at lhat
time. It is hoped that when the Dora
comes next month she will bring
some good of news the missing steam
er' All mail for us that reached
Seattle between Dec. 6th and 241I1
would be on the Faiallon.
