The steam schooner Alcazar. Captain
Thomas Gunderson. arrived here early
yesterday morning from Skagway. break
ing all records for quick passages. The
Alcazar left Astoria February o. loaded
to the guards with lumber and provisions
for Alaska. She took the outside passage
and scudded before a southerly gale the
entire voyage. Arrived in Skagway on
the "a Of March. the cargo was dis
charged in two days and the return yoy-
age commenced on the fourth, Another
gale was encountered. this time from the
north. and she put in here with a record
of only a few hours over ten days for
the round trip. The Alcazar was under
charter to the North Pacific Lumber
OF Portland. but evidently ar
rived here too soon. as no instructions
as TO her movements were received by
the captain on his arrival here. The
captain reports the arrival at Skagway
OF many vessels loaded with Klondikers
and states that the weather is intensely
cold there, the thermometer registering
30 below. The Alcazar brought here for
burial the body OF the late James G.
Hornbaker. well known young man OF
this city and confidential clerk OF the
firm Of Foard & Stokes. stationed at
their skagway store. who died there
short time ago OF spinal meningitis
Captain Gunderson will make an effort
on his next voyage tc beat his own
record.
