in Wrangel Monday last from St. Mi
chaels. having conveyed the river
steamers Columbian and Canadian, to
that point. A representative OF the

pleasant two hours with Captain DAN

The Tordenshjo ld left Wrangel June
9th. towing a lighter of coal and acting
as convoy to the river steamers Column
bian, Canadian and Victorian. belong
ing to the Canadian Development Co.,
bound for the Yukon.
On the first night out. when near
Sitka, the Victorian ran in close to
shore with the object of securing fresh
water. The tide was going out fast and
she was left on the beach. unfortunate
" she settled on a rock which damaged
her. to an extent that necessitated her
return to Wrangel. which she was able
to do under her own steam.
The Tordenskjold accompanied by
the Columbian and Canadian proceeded
on their way the following mornir q
taking the inside passage to Port AL
thorop. in Cross sound, where they
came to anchor. on the afternoon of the

left for the open sea. but during the
following night the wind frcshcned and
drew to the southeast. kicking up sea

during one day. Early on the morning
of the Both they again got under way
and proceeded through the inside pas
sage until evening when they were
again compelled to seek shelter and
came to anchor inside of Sauklin island
where they remained over night.
On July LIST they ran into the open
sea where they found a strong easterly
wind. which was too much for the river
boats. and so they were compelled to
put about and run into Resurrection bay,
where they came to anchor the same
afternoon.
At Resurrection bay they found an
indian settlement with a few natives
engaged in fishing and hunting: also IL
schooner with a prospecting party.
Captain Danielsen reports that about
