STRUCK AN ICE BERG

The steamship Excelsior, owned by the Pacific Steam Whaling Co.,, left Seattle April 25th for Copper River, Cooks Inlet and all points to the west ward. On Sunday evening, April 29th. she pulled into Gastineau Channel, and at 1O:3O o'clock, when opposite Sheep Creek, struck a submerged ice berg. It was thought at first that no damage had been done to the boat and she landed at Juneau where she remained for several hours. After starting out however, the engineer reported that the boat was leaking. A landing was made at Treadwell wharf, and thirty head of horses were unloaded The water was by this time coming in faster than the pumps were able to take it out and the boat was beached at Treadwell. When the tide went down it was found that a break had been made in the bow for about eight feet.

Very few people seem to realize that the best way to live is to be in perfect harmony with the surroundings. We do not mean by this that it is necessary to accept whatever comes in our way as right or proper, but to realize that our power to adjust matters as we would have them is very limited indeed Knowing as we do our own imperfec- tions. we should have more and more sympathy for others who are similarly affected. "Charity covers multitude of sins" as much in ourselves as in the other fellow. To be happy, one should crowd down all the bitter, mean thoughts and foster and fondle the good ones. A start in this direction can be made by following the advice ot a sage who said: Eff you think of noth- ing good to say of an acquaintance, say nothing at all"
