Famous Old AIaska Vessel

With the sailing recently of the steamer Corwin for San Francisco, the Seattle water front probably had its last glimpse of the little vessel which has done such valiant service in Alaska waters, says the Seattle Post st-Intelligencer. Captain R. J. Healey was at the wheel when the Corwin sailed fer the South where she will be turned over to her new owner, the Southwestern Steam ship Company of Los Angeles. She will hereafter ply between San Francisco, San Pedro and Mazatlan or Guaymas Mexico. For twelve years the Corwln has been the ice breaker for vessels in the Seattle Alaska trade She has been the first vessel into Nome and points in the North every year. Before entering the commercial routine the Corwin was United States revenue cutter.
 and as such participated in many raids oH
 poachers in Alaska waters. She also aided in rescung numerous whaling expeditions, and her appearance at ports on kotzebue sound and at Port Barrow in the spring of each year always was a sight for rejoicing at those places. Last year she was out
