Mosquito Fleets Anchoring Ground.

TIL whole water front at this point
was anchonlng ground for what is
called the mosquito fleet" made up of
small craft. Many of these vessels have
disappeared and thus far no trace of
them has been found. Many of the
boats served as sleeping apartments
for their owners, and for this reason it
is thought several lives have been lost

and Emma Studies, 10 years old, the

of the south end of the Puget Sound
warehouse of the Northern Pacific rail-
road on the water front, including the
office Of the road the cattle sheds and
the pump house for hydraulic work of
filling in tide lands, sank into the bay
John Hansen, a watchman, was in the
pump house and has not been seen since
He is believed to have been drowned
Close by was the boat house of H. Fl.
Alger, built partly on made land and
partly on piles. This turned over COM
pletely. A family of six persons were
asleep in the boat house at the time.
All were rescued except a 15-year-old
girl named Emma, who is missing.
AT an early hour this morning the
land seemed to be still slowly slipping
into the bay. Whether it was caused
by some conVulsion of nature or merely
the slipping of the made land into the
bay remains to be seen. What appeared
to be tidal wave was observed by
Sergeant Harris at Oldtown, more than
mile away. Several ships parted
their cables, but We're secured before
sustaining any damage.
The length of the strip which caved
in, is about 1,400 feet and the damage
done extends back in places 100 feet.
The ground is all made, that is, filled in
and composed of loose rock, earth and
debris of all kinds. This has never had
anything to brace it or hold it in place,
and the recent heavy rains have under
mined it, causing it to slide forward in
the bay, and carrying everything in it's
course.
