Wrangell experienced very
stormy night last Thursday night.
No damage was reported but the
Elihu Thompson towing a barge
which carried a very valuable
cargo of whale oil came into the
harbor and remained here all day
Friday. The boats had reached
Lincoln Rock on their southbound
trip when the sea became so
rough that it was found advisable
to come to Wrangell until the
storm abated. On Friday fore
noon an attempt to resume the
journey was made, but the boats
returned to port again until later
in the day.
