THE HOLMES PARTY LOSES
 SECOND SUPPLY SHIPMENT

An account Of the second loss ot supplies which a crew was attempt ing to land for the use of the H Ines party who were sent out for the purpose Of investigating the coal fields to the westward, is giv- eu in the following taken from the Valdez Prospector Of Nov. 1:
 The launch Corsair, which was wrecked at KataUa while unloading freight from the Bertha. is a total loss. Two men who have been try ing to saIve the engine have been severely burned, by an explosion of gasoline which finished the wreckiu of the boat.
 Fred Muller, one of the men en- gagged in trying to save the negine, was so badly burned by the eNplos- ion that it is doubted if he can re- cover.
 Most of the freight was washed off the sCOws during the storm ana what little has been recovered is damaged by water. The Corsair was on fire for some time before going on the rocks.
 Ness who was killed, was in the engine room fighting fire, and when washed overheard 1t is believed the sudden chill killed him, as the body was recovered ten minutes lat CT where it was washed ashore. It is claimed death was not due to drowning.
 Nothing is known as to what Director Holmes win do to replace his supplies, now lost for the second time
