One hundred and nine days on.
from Grays Harbor, the borque Hes
pei has arrived at Antafogasta, after
one of the slowest voyages on record
For the last two weeks 1t was feared
that the unfortunate ship had met
with such fierce weather that she had
fcr ndered, and the news that she has
reached her destination has lifted Z
CLOUD from the waterfront, says the
Vancouver NeW-Adyertiser
The Hesper, owing to the wide at
tention she attracted just before leav-
ing the North Pacific in connection
with stories that she was to search
for the Gocos Island treasure, was the
object of considerable attention. The
bark for many years has been IA
fI.iiiart vessel In the coast trade and
has had a picturesque history. Before
sailing for the south she was placed
under Peruvian registry.
Several years ago the Helper was
sold to a company which announced
that she would be used In the South
Sea island trade, but for some reason
the plans were never perfected and
the vessel was sold by the United
States marshal at Seattle to satisfy a
bin for repairs, made in view Of the
South Sea islands project.
Shortly before sailing from GTays
Harbor, last August. Captain Fred
Hackett, who is well known to Local
mariners, denied that she would be
used to search for the Cocos island
treasure. While the vessel was at
Grays Harbor her master had varied
experiences. There was mutiny and
desertion by members of the crew,
and 1t was thought for a time that
her voyage to the south with lumber
would have to be abandoned.

Hesper was lowed to sea on August
