SEARCH FOR THE sTRATHNEvIs
Tugs VIII Be Sent Out TO Await Her APP
pearance.

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 8.-Search
for the disabled steamship Strathnevis
will be prosecuted by the Oriental steamer
Tacoma, which sailed westward from Vic
toria today. In a few days two or three
tugs will be sent out couple of hundred
miles to await her appearance.
For the past three weeks series of
southerly gales have been experienced for
a thousand miles west of Cape Flattery.
Captain Hooper of the revenue marine
service, who is thoroughly acquainted
with the ocean currents of that locality.
ventures the opinion that the Strathnevis
is too far westward to feel the upward
| coast current which sets in against Van
couver island, and the southeast coast OF
| Alaska However. southerly gales would
naturally create a northern current. II
she possesses any steam propelling power
at all, which together with the limited
sail area she has, added Captain Hooper
| 1t would doubtlessly enable her to ap
| proach near enough to Cape Flattery t.
secure the assistance of tug.
