The steamer Alaskan pulled into port about noon. laden as usual to her guards with miscellaneous freight, a large part of which is consigned to places on the west coast of Prince of Wales.

 The camping party consisting of Mir. and Mrs. Roy Thompson, Mrs. Frank Pearce, Miss Hopkins and Dale Hunt, who went to Helm bay a week or ten days ago. came in on the Elk last night after having had rather strenuous experience. The weather was not altogether propitious for the good time they expected to enjoy, and Mir.

He caugh. them when about half way to Loriug. and brought them home as happy as if they had experienced noth:ng but continuous sunshine in- stead of drenching rains during their absence. It was not exactly a timely rescue from the perils of the deep, but a hardly less welcome relief from . dem wet. and wholly moist situa- tion.
