The Helen W. Amy was once south
sea trader ana was quite famous tor her
many adventures among the reefs Her
commander was Captain i.uttrell and he
operated her In the interest of Jonn
Wightman who retained an interest IN
her when she entered the Alaskan trade
The vessel was in good condition for an
old one and perfectly soawnrthy She .
was on the dry dock some days before /
being put ON the berth and her owners .
spent $4,000 in repairing her. She had a
house on the deck When tho
Amy left port she had ls5 tons Of ballast
In her She carried besides the provis-
ions of the passengers and their OUTFITS,
She was vessel of about 80 tons ana !
was therefore bollasted sufficiently to
make her "stir"
