They are in a small boat, |and with the strong wind and heavy seas that have been present in the Taku entrance, have probably not been able to round Marmion Island. The other party is composed of two men who are weatherbound at Doty Cove. They are prospectors from Snettisham, Sanders Wilson and a partner. The Haida expected to return this evening. - e SHINGLE FIRE Another “four shingle fire,” was the sum and substance of today’s fire alarm at 11:35 that called out the Fire Department to 113 5th St., to extinguish a roof blaze of minor proportions.
