CAREER OF THE CLEVELAND.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. THE
steamer Cleveland, which Is reported a
total wreck on a rock twenty-five miles
from Nome. has had a strange and
eventful career and on more than one
occasion when her fate appeared to be
sealed, had come safely through her
troubles, until she was looked upon
generally by seafaring men as the most
unfortunate. and at the same time one
of the luckiest, vessels known on this
Coast. For several years past the
Cleveland has been owned by Charles
Nelson of San Francisco.
| Several years ago, when she was
known as the Scandinavia. the steamer
first attracted attention In this port
by reason of the fact that she had
|
Gulf of California. in order to avoid
the payment of certain port charge 8.
| Not long afterward her name was
changed to Columbia, later to Sirius,
and still later to Cleveland. Previous
to being named Scandinavia, howav r,
the steamer had been known as the
Kahului and Sirius. She was built in
1861 by C. and w. Earle, at Hull. Eng
land, for blockade runner in the civil
war and was 25S feet in length, with q
beam of 26 feet, ard depth of Is feet.
| A good part of the Cleveland's mis-
fortune has come to her on this Coast.
On December 4, 1897, the Cleveland
sailed from this port for Seattle. She
broke her propeller shaft on the 9Th
while she was off the Columbia river
during tremendous gale. For near y
four days she drifted helpl ssy off the
northern coast sometimes driven to
sea and then back again inshore. F r
| three days she was in sight of light
houses making signals of distr IS, but
no assistance forthcoming. aid finally,
| on the 10th, the steamer went on the
rocks on the southwestern coast Of
Vancouver Island, on Barclay Sound.
Al hope of rescue was abandoned as
the waves surged in and out of the
broken vessel lying on the rocks. but
she was finally saved by what Sc med
a miracle. She was beached and her
|
and the vessel brought down to Seat
tie, where she was thoroughly repaired
and made seaworthy again.
In March, 1899, she was chartered to
carry freight to Manila for the Gov
lernment, but upon arriving at Honoiu-
III she had decided list to port, and
on account of the crankiness she had
shown on the trip from this port her
crew deserted her there and new men
mad to be hired to take her to Manila
In March of this year the Cleveland
sailed from kahului for this port. b al

Cleveland started for Hilo, but re.
turned to port before she had been a
