Explorer Arrives on the Channel; Patterson Is Placed on the
 Beach.

The coast and geodetic survey ship Explorer, in command of Cap tain Mahr, arrived from the south during the night and is anchored in the channel. The Explorer is on her way to her summer station where she will continue the survey work started last year.
 The Patterson was today put on the beach at a point below Tread we'll and an examination of her in iuries will be made. If the unship- ping of the rudder and the buckling of the shoe are the only injuries, she will be repaired by her own crew while on the beach, but if it devel- ops that her stern post is cracked or broken. it may be necessary to send her to Seattle or Prince Ru- port for dry docking. This can only be determined after a full ex- animation is made.
 With the cableship Burnside in the channel there are today three government vessels making a stay in these waters.
