DIAMOND HEADS PERIL.

PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 22.-The
American bark Diamond Head, which
arrived here from Teller. Alaska, a few
days ago. had two very close escapes
from wrecking on the voyage North.
The bark, which is well known in these
waters, is commanded by Captain "A.
Peterson. ),
Leaving. the Sound June 9, with a
general mining outfit. including fifty
tons of dynamite for the operators at
Teller. the vessel had fair weather until
Wen clear. of the Aleutian islands.
Early in July gales set in accompanied
by thick weather. On July 10, when
the captain was off watch, First Mate
Brown scented danger and brought the
vessel about just in time, as it proved

rock. four miles westward of Cape
Prince of Wales. in Bering strait.
The thick and stormy weather con-
tinued and on July IA the Diamond
Head fouled herself among the break
ers with dirt stirred up by her keel
showing in the water. Both anchors
were let go in a hurry and the vessel
rode safely. The next day the weather
lightened slightly and the trading
schooner Laura Madsen was sighted at
anchor three miles off.
Mate Brown and two men boarded
the latter vessel in the captains gig
and learned that they were between
Cape York and Point Spencer, the lat
ter a sandspit. Tug Elk No. L, originally
hailing from Port Townsend, came out
of Point Clarence at that time and was
secured to give the bark tow to a
safe anchorage near Teller

beach. This occurred not far from the
resting place of the bark Oakland and

Spencer as warning to mariners.
At the time the vessel anchored the
crew, according to Mate Brown, made a
dash for the main hatch, under which
the dynamite was slowed to throw the
explosive overheard. Brown knew that
the dangerous stuff would probably
strike bottom close to the vessels side
and says he was forced to hold the men
