Communication to the Public.

Embedding for once that "rall of humanity" which prompts me iu speak for others, as we'll as for myself. l offer he following in fnrmal ion concerning the launch IIirl only and her whereabouts at tn" time the Donaldson was preparing tn render assistance to 1 he in. urrd natives menti toned in Fl he aihrr haSly communication ! tu ihr prosprctor of Inc 1th inst. signed by Col. O'Nril:
 /; The Flirt ha, passed EIIamar rn route In Landluck and Fidal- go before We learned anything of
 this accident. some time after we arrived at Ellamar. where we
 were storm bound rn route to 1 Valdez. Is learned of this arci-
 dent. not as request for as SiSlanrp. which all seemed to take
 for granted was being rendered
 by tht. Donaldson. which should
 then have been well on her way
 to he rescue. Any sacrifice that 1 the poor old Flirt could have
 made would, in my judgment,
 have been entirely wasted. For
 the information of the public l
 will state that in such weather 'aS then prevailed the Flirt must
 be handled with considerable skill ln keep her own head above
 water. Al such times we are
 more liable to need rather than
 render assistance.
 If. as Coi. O'NeiIr says the Flirt was less than three hours run
 from these natives, does lt not
 appear as strange that the steam- or. which first received this in- formation. and could cover the same distance in half the time made no attempt to render as siStance? trust the Colonel will
 realize that the source of his In-
 formation was either ignorant o1 ithr facts OF else personally in
 lcreslcd in injuring the Flirt. , Those who wish to obey thai "call of humanity" must remem- , ber that humanity has feelings as we'll as bones. for whose hurts hurry-up call is often sent out Very respectfully,
 D. F.. MORRIS, President of the Mutual Commer. cial Co.
