 Damage Slight

The Standard Oil tank ship H. T Harper, Capt. Holm, ran aground on Colt Island last night about midnight. Favorable after -circum- stances enabled the ship to get off under her own power. The dam age was slight and the vessel pro- ceeded on to Skagway.
 The ship left Juneau at o'clock last night after being in port since late Sunday discharging bulk oils. The weather when she left was squally with flurries of snow. These averse conditions grew worse and at midnight the visibility was ex- tremely low
 The ship struck at midnight and Capt Holm at once sent a radio for assistance. John D. Helps, manager of the Juneau Standard Oil station, quickly got in touch with Capt. Parks, of the Margnita, in an effort to enlist the aid of that ship to go to the assistance of the tanker. The main motor of the Margnita was partly tore down at that time and Capt. Parks was unable to prepare for the trip in time. The army boat, Capt. James Torrance, was then secured and sailed from here reaching the scene about 3 o'clock this morning. When the Torrance arrived the tanker had refloated under her own power and the rising tide. The ship was inspected for damage which was found to be slight and a short time after 3 o'clock resumed her course for Skagway.
 Colt Island, where the ship struck, is about 30 miles from Juneau in Stephens Passage, near the en- trance to Lynn Canal.
