Officers and crew were saved, accord
ing to report that has been brought

under a severe list and nearly lost the
upper cargo When she arrived at
Port Townsend, her cook mysteriously
disappeared and she earned the name
"hoodoo" ship among her crew, some
of whom threatened to leave. The
difficulties grew more serious when
the cooks body was found under the
wharf where she was tied up. Minor
troubles beset the schooner through
her fitful run to final destruction.
The Nokomis lad been out 155 days
when the first tidings came from her.
Under ordinary weather conditions
