Wreck Has Been Found.
The wreck of what is supposed to be
the ship Andrada, which disappeared
from the mouth of the Columbia river
more thar four months ago. has been
found lying off a bay in the Queen
Charlotte Islands. Indians reported the
floating in of the strange vessel to Cap
tain Gums of the steamer Tees, which
arrive at Vancouver on April %.
Some of the Indians said she was a
wooden ship, while others were equally
sure tina she was iron. The fact that
they could not tell her name shows that
| they were uncertain as to her build, but
from the general description given the
| officers of the Tees, it is not impossible
that she is the missing boat from the
| Columbia river bar.
The Indians went down to Mas while
the Tees was there and left again the
next day with the Methodist missionary,
who would make a complete
ton. The Indians sale the derelict came
floating into Reynolds Inlet. The stumps
of her masts were standing only a few
feet above the decks and her houses had
been almost completely washed over
board. Several miles away Indian fish
ermen were reported to ave found bod
les of one of the supposed officers of the
| ship and another man and much wreck
age washed UP.
The ship had evidently but recently
been ia a storm, for some of her gear
was still hanging over the side, a fact
which is probably rather against con-
| Meeting her with the Andrada. If she is
not the latter vessel she must have been
a coasting ship, for unless she was
caught in the storm within a hundred
miles of the west coast of Vancouver or
the Queen Charlotte Islands, she would
certainly have been driven south by the
currents and would go farther away
from the Alaskan coast all the time.
Exodus to Nome Begins.
The steamships Nome City and jeanne
sailed for Nome on April % from Seat
tie. Nearly 100 passengers went north,
many of them being prominent mine
owners in the Nome ~islrIct. This is the
first departure for the north his year,
and it Is expected that the vessels will
reach their destinations not later than
May 20.
Americans Buy English Line.
his first step in the direction of the
consolidation of some of the biggest
transatlantic shipping interests has
been accomplished by the purchase by
j. Pierpont Morgan & Co. of the Ley
land line of steamers A deposit on the
purchase price has been paid. The ON
Gals of the Leyland line, in confirming
the sale, told a representative of the
Associated Press that an official state
ment will be issued from the head office
of the line at Liverpool. 1t is understood
that the shareholders of the company
will receive Ella los for each &10 share.
The Leyland line, whose fleet will thus
pass into the control of Americans, is
one of Great Britain's greatest shipping
institutions, far exceeding the Peninsu-
lar and Oriental Steam Navigation Com
pany in tonnage and Importance.
Work ON shipbuilding Trust.
Owners of ship-building yards met in
the offices of Henry W. Poor & Co. in
New York on April 2S to begin prelimi-
nary work toward forming a combina-
ton OF sh~ip-building interests. A CAPT.
t~alization of $50, 600, 900 mas been spoken
of for the new trust. Poor & Co. are
to finance it. All the big houses in the
street are said TO be interested.
Among those who attended the meet
ing were Lewis Nixon, owner of the
Elizabeth yards, n George Croker and
Edward Hawley, of the Newport News
Company. A part of the plan is said to
be to divide the work of construction so
that each plant can confine itself to a
particular class of work.
The Otto Gildemelster Sold.
Captain George F. Ellis. representing a
San Francisco syndicate, has purchased
the dismasted German ship Otto Glide
meister for SIG, 100. is the intention of
the syndicate to go regularly into the
shipping business and me Gildemeister
will form the nucleus of its fleet. Cap
tain Ellis was formerly in the sealing
business, but gave up seal hunting to
hunt for gold in the klond.ne. He was
wonderfully successful and later sold out
all his interests for a considerable sum.
The Giidemeister will probably be rerig-
ged in San Francisco and placed under
the Chilean flag.
When the dismasted vessel was put up
at auction Lorentz Foard made the first
offer of $4,000. Captain Ellis raised the
bid $780, and Henry Resented wen him
$3.50 better. Messrs. Ellis and Resented
