Alaska sentinel., 1905-09-14

Last week Wednesday the steamer Mabel left for the Mason salteIy at Tol,toy, having as a cargo S1 sacks of salt, and MT. Mason, 1 E. P. Lynch, John Norton, Steve Chernoff and Capt. Nickelson. They were down just l below Old Town, when the little vessel struck one of the numerous hidden rocks and hung up tight and fast on receding tide. By shifting the cargo, the boat was
 kept right side up, and Thursday Messrs. l Lynch Mason and Chernof pulled up to l town and got the Patience to go down and take the salt out of the Mabel 90 she would l float high tide The boat was not damaged, but delay of three or four days just at this time means much; and the expense neces- sariv entailed falls heavily on the packers. in changing the cargo in the darkness, Mir. Lynch was so unfortunate as to fall over. board in the chilly waters, from the effects of which he took a severe cold, and for a few days he was threatened with lung attec-
 ton; but he is all right again. Steve Cher noff also took plunge but being young and vigorous il didn't effect him.
