day from st. Michael. reports that on Aug. "a
heavy gale spranR up Off Kodiac. and the Eliza
Anderson became separated from the tug Hol.
yoke and the schooners WI. b yant and Merwin.
Previously the Anderson had signalled the Hol-
yoke that she WIS short Of coal and had asked for
assistance, but the tug was towing q barge.
which got loose and was drifting away In the
gale. preventing her from giving relief to the
distressed steamer. Meantime the Anderson
was blown out OF the sight OF the other vessels,
and her fate is unknown.
The Captain OF the Holyoke believed that the
Anderson WAS In no serious danger, and might
make Zodiac.

e S Polly and Merwin. and by the schooner W.

At the time this feet Of vessels left Seattle il
was generally remarked that tho Anderson and
Meruin were not At vessels for such Q voyage
and that the inspectors should prevent their de-
pafture. bur no other protest was offered and
they were permitted 70 sail It was predicted
by all who were familiar with the u~nseaworthy
condition Of the Anderson that she would prove
the coffin Of the passenger he carried away.
