PORT TOWNSEND Feb. 15.-The com
pIications following the failure of the
highest bidder for the purchase OF the
cutter Corwin TO make good his offer
have been the occasion of no end Of
trouble and Inconvenience for the inter-
ested parties, particularly Capt. c. $.
Hooper, who took charge of the matter
when Capt. Tozier was ordered East re-
Gently. IL win be remembered that OF
the fourteen bids submitted that of j. II.
Ryus. OF Whatcom, who offered sl1,oSo.
was the largest, and he was awarded the
vessel. Ryus for some reason hunked,
and the next highest bidder, c. /. Curtis.
of Astoria, who offered $4,000 was noti-
fed
The sale took place Saturday last, and
Curtis was Immediately notified, but up
to date has not responded. As conse-
quence of this tiresome delay. Capt.
Hooper today wired Curtis that II he was
not on hand with the purchase price of
the vessel tomorrow morning the bid
would be thrown out
Capt. Hooper is eager 20 have the mat
ter settled up and Is not particular
whether Curtis makes good his bid or
from a steamship firm at Martha's Vine
yard, Offering to make good the highest
regular bid. and Il necessary increase Il
unlikely that this firm will be awarded
the vessel for people in position to ex-
press opinion say that the whole mat
ter as far as 1t has progressed is slightly
irregular, the call for bids as printed by
the treasury department having omitted
to require that every bid be accompanied
by a certified check for 10 per cent. of the
offer made. as is the usual custom when
the government offers any OF its property
for sale.
The flag OF the Corwin has been hauled
down. and she is out of commission, so
everyone is ambitious to have the matter
closed up that the neat little packet may
be turned over to her private owners.
Capt. Slamm and the officers and crew
of the vessel are temporarily so1ourning
here, pending the receipt of orders es-
tabishing them on other vessels of the
service
