SOPHIA'S SAFE IS
 BROUGHT TO CITY:
Treasure Box of Ill-Fated Vessel Found, Raised
 After Long Search.

After two seasons search by div CTS the pursers safe of the wrecked steamer Princess Sophia has been recovered and is now at the First National Bank of this city. It was raised yesterday and brought to the city this morning on the Deep Sea Salvage Company boat Enterprise.
 What money and other valuables may be contained in the safe will not be known until an order is se- cured from Judge Jeremiah Neterer of the U. s. Federal Court of the Western District of Washington, sit. ting at Seattle. This order has been telegraphed for and it is likely that the court will authorize someone to represent it here during the opening.
 The fact that many wealthy people were on board the Princess Sophia on the ill fated trip in October, 1918, leads 10 the supposition that much money, and .ieweiryl had been put in the safe for safe keeping. The pro ceeds of the round trip of the yes sel were also in the purser's keep ing. 8.t
 Friday the Thirteenth
 The safe was definitely located on Friday, August Thirteenth by Diver Frank w. Walters of Vancouver while diving on the wreck for the Deep Sea Salvage Company. It was found at a depth of 120 feet of water and was no longer in the Purser's office. The walls and floor of the purser's office had been wrecked by an explosion and and the safe had fallen through the hole in the floor to the deck below in the after part of the vessel.
 Walters attempted to get the big box--it weighs a ton to a position where it could be raised to the sur face but before he succeeded in do- ing so the diving gear he was using was taken away by the owner and it was necessary to get other gear before the work could be resumed. The other diver for the company, John w. Close. was on his way South on the tug Daniel Kern. He was re-

BENEFITS BODY MISSING
Two Searching Parties Out Norton Body Found on
 Beach by Hunter.

Harry H. Bennett, 32, and Roy r. Norton 35, both employed by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company, were drowned near Falls Creek, Admiralty Island, about g miles south of here. Saturday after noon while on a hunting trip. Nor toms body was discovered late yes terdar and was brought to the city last night, Bennett's body had not been discovered up to late hour today although two parties were in search of 1t.
 The accident is believed to have occurred when sir foot tender in which they were going ashore from the gas boat "Attaboy' upset a short distance off shore.
 Discovery of Norton's body, which was the first intimation of the trag- edy, was made by John J. Woodland of Juneau, who came upon 1t lying on the beach about 25 feet from high water mark. while trailing a brown bear Woodland and his hunt ing partner, R. F.. Cowden, brought the body in, arriving here at o'clock last night
 A searching party sent out by the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company left on the Teddy early today to search for Bennett's body, and second party composed of members of Afford John Bradford Post, American Legion, of which Bennett was a member. left this afternoon. In the second party were Chester K. Tripp, Perry Coleman. George E. Mann and M. Dahl.
 Supplies are landed
 Leaving Juneau shortly after noon Saturday on the "Attaboy" belong ing to the crew of the Alaska Elec- tric Light and Power Company the two men are believed to have arrived at Falls or Hidden Creek on Admir- alty Island in about three or four hours time. Probably running in shore quite close on the rising tide they had either stepped right ashore from the gasboat or made several short trips to shore taking their supplies off and piling them on the beach.
 After having transferred everything that they wanted. they took the "Attaboy" several hundred yards off shore and anchored her so that she would not be caught by the falling tide. Apparently then. both got into the little six foot tender and pro polling it with one oar, started for shore. In some way the little skiff capsized. Bennett had hip boots and a very heavy hunting coat filled with ammunition on and probably sank immediately. Norton. who was a strong swimmer, was wearing shoes and no coat. He probably swan for shore as his body was found about twenty five feet from high tide
 Tender Bottom Side Up
 Passing along near Hidden Creek early Sunday. Woodland and Cowden saw the boat at anchor off from shore and the pile of baggage on the beach and thought that the two men were in the woods hunting Re turning later they found the body Of Norton on the beach and the tender bottom side up.
