Wrecked Steamer, Bad Shape That practically all of the first class mail which left Seattle on the steamer Northwestern was saved, was the statement made by Capt. Charles Classcock of the Alameda, which arrived here last night and was the steamer that took the wrecked vessel's passen- gers from Campbell River to Se- attle early last week. Receiving word about 11 a. m a week ago yesterday that the Northwestern had gone agrour on Cape Mudge, the Alamede, which was then unloading ore at Tacoma, left at once for Seattle and then for the sceme of the wreck, leaving the latter ciiy about 5 p. m. last Sunday, a waak ago yesterday. The next morning at 11 oclock the Alameda arrived at" Oape Mudge and took from the Norti western some hand baggage and mail that had not yet been takei to Campbell River, and then pr ceeded to the summer resort where the passengers, baggage and first class mail were taken | Northwestern, aboard. The freight clerk on th Northwestern, = Capt. Glasscock sald, reported that only a few sacks of first clags mail had been [S lost. According to the story told by those aboard the Northwestern. she had filled with water seven | minutes after she struck, but the accounts sent out as to ‘her plight were exaggerated, according tc Capt. Glasscock’s story, for the water was only up to about a foot higher than the dining room floor. while no water at all enler\sd the mail clerk’'s room. E. M. Murphy, mechanical sup- erintendent of the ‘Alaska Stean- ship ‘Company, who ‘was seal north with ‘the Alameda to the reported ' to Capt. Glasscock that the ship's bottom wag' badly punctured and she lav in 'sand and roeks, with a list towards the shore. Capt. Glasscock said that Mur- nhy also ‘reported that the strain was showing on the ‘ship, as she had opened up lengthwise abaft the smokestack, while her’ enginy Land, boilers were ralsed up out of fon by the rocks on which Tay. % % In Exposed Position The Captain-expressed doubt as to whether the * Northwestern would be saved, for she is in‘an axposed position to any southerly storm which might come up &t any time, and‘which would be apt to batter - the stunded ship to pleces. Some trouble was had among the - Northwestern's ~ passengers with theft; ad several of them te- ported - Grticles ' missing.. Capt. Glasacock said that<most of the M baggage was’ saved but that thiere ~were' ‘few passengers Who 1d' not ' lese ‘many - personal be- zo l’dnu crew was-at the sodne of the wreck when the Ala- meda passed Cape Mudge mnorth- bound on the present trip, ani were endeavoring to save all pos- sible of the cargo. Shortly ‘after leaving Seattle on her present trip, Capt. Glasscock received a radio advising him to go inta Camphell River and pick up some baggage that had beey taken -off the Northwestern since the Alameda’s visit. In attempting tp dock hig steamer at the small wharf there, Capt. Glasscock ran aground on sand bar long side the dagk an reamained . there for & little mare |then: sewen hours.
