Schooner Progress Reported Missing
 By The Blekum
Towing Harold Blekum Into Seward When Tow Rope
 Broke Jan. 31st

The Schooner Progress, which ar rived in Ketchikan on January 26th, and which left for the north on the 2Sth, commanded by Capt Thomas P. Quinn, with the Harold Blekum in tow has been reported as missing according to a dispatch received from the Sew ard Gateway this morning.
 The Progress, was purchased by a cod fishing concern, the W. J. Erskine Company of San Francisco and Kodi- ak, recently and both boats were bound for the Kodiak and Trinity Islands The Harold Blekum under Captain Kohlmeister was loaded with provis- ions and materials for Seward and Kodiak,
 The Ha Blekum arrived safely this morniz at Seward and reported that the F gress broke her towing rope on Jar ny 31st off Cape Omany and was j. st seen covered with ice.
 Everyth moveable on the Ble- kun inclu5 T sails was carried away by the hea gas and she drifted near ly 250 miles in 28 hours The Ble- kun arrived off Seward three days ago but was unable to get in on account of the thick weather. Capt Kohlmeister's wife, who is the daughter of Dr. J. P. Sweeney, Of Seattle, who has travel ed with him all over the world, says that it was the most frightful trip she had ever experienced. The crew of seven, together with the Captain, and his wife were all saved after many very trying experiences.
 Capt Thomas P Quinn, Of the Prog ress, is very familiar with the inside passage and it is quite probable that he put in at one of the smaller bays along the way, during the heavy weat- her. The cutter, Unalga will most lik- ely be ordered to the rescue.
