TWO Kotzebue sound expeditions got
away yesterday. and ona Of the Pacific
coast Company's steamers sailed for
Lynn canal. The fine American bark
Haydn Brown. of New York. sailed from
the White Star dock at O'Clock, with 80
passengers. and the little fiat-bottomed
schooner Arthur b. was 10 leave during
the night with twenty men and women.
Both VIII go to Kotzebue sound. but the
Haydn Brown will land more than half
her passengers at ST. Michael The steam
sr Ai-Kl left at 3 o'clock In the afternoon
fer Skagway.
Yesterdays sailings show that travel has
turned from the Lynn canal passes to the
aii-water route TO the northern gold fields.
the Al-ki had but twelve passengers and
only two OF these were miners. All were
booked second class. The Haydn Brown
has been refusing passengers for ST. MI
chael for several days.
The Haydn Brown came around the
Cape a few months ago with a big coal
cargo. and was not at the time intended
as an Alaskan carrier. Her owner, Thom-
as Humphries, mada the trip here from
New York to straighten out the Difficult
Ties between captain and crew. He de-
cided to put the boat on the Alaskan run.
ana at on@e began fitting her up. For a
time IL looked as though the war would
give the kotxebue sound rush a knock
out blow, but when the bark began to
ioad passengers came fast enough.
The l3 passengers aboard, with their
outhts made very heavy load. On deck
were three steam launches, and in her
mold were two river steamers in sections.
Inc latter belong TO the Chase company.

!eet deep. They will draw two feet when
loaded. They Were built at BIakeley and
VIII be set UP at St. Michael. Accompa-
nying these steamers Is q party of forty
five. The Haydn Brown has thirty-seyen
other passengers for St. Michael.
One OF the steam launches, IL such it
may DO called, is the strongest looking
craft that ever reached Seattle. II was
built in Paris. Texas, and shipped out here
on fat car. 1t Is perfectly nat-bottom-
ed. and VIII be propelled by small stern
wheel. There Is a box-hke cabin running
the whole length of the boat. The craft
Is named the Leila Lee Collins, and the
men who own her are very proud of their
Texas production. Yesterday as the bark
was pulling out from the wharf number
OF men got out on the roof Of the cabin.
The captain Of the Leila Lee, who is an
elderly Dutchman. ordered them off. He
was very indignant. The launches Queen
