Hits About Two Miles From Irish Cove While Outward BOund-Pas- sengers and Mail Transferred tn alametia-DetailS Unknown.

The steamer Admiral Watson, which left here Thursday evening, struck on a reef in Fidalgo bay about two miles southwest of Irish Cove, while coming out after having taken on ore at the mine of the Alaska Mines Corporation. She struck about o'clock yesterday morning, during blinding snowstorm, and immediat ely sent out a wireless call for as- sistance and to take care of the pas ssengers and mail.
 The message was picked up by the EAhitshed wireless station and relay sedf to Cordova, where the freighter Cordova was unloading and the Ala meda was taking on cargo of ore.
 s>he Cordova immediately left for th scene of the accident, while the Al4meda was held to take on the pas- sengers and mail. X.

The Watson has two holes punched in her hull, and two coh paftments were badly flooded by the inrushing waters.

Bolts Stuck and Oxy-Acetylene Ap-
 paratus Used to Cut Away Frame Road Commissions Office.

The vault of the First Bank of Val deg was opened yesterday afternoon, and the contents found in first-class condition, notwithstanding the vault had been subjected to the most in tense heat. The combination on the vault worked perfectly, but the head had warped the frame or the bolts so that they could not be withdrawn from their sockets. AS consequence the oxy-acetylene apparatus of G. w. Long was brought into requisition and the sockets melted out permitting the bolts to come out and the door was take noff without injury. The interior of the vault found to be un- 2 Linjured. During the early hours of the fire the valuable adding machines and typewriters in the bank had been placedfn the vault and these were uninjured, as were all the books and papers.
 Major P. w. Davison of the Alaska Road Commission, has rendered the use of the Commission office in the Seattle Hotel block to the bank off, cials as temporary quarters. and bus mess will probably be resumed there within a day or two.
