Northwestern railway at Seward, today
cabled the United Presa the most au
thentic and interesting account of the
volcanic eruptions which during the
past week have covered a large portion
of the coast of Alaska with, ashes .and
filled the air with sulphurous fumes.
His story follows:
Seward, 'Alaska, June 14. Mount Kat-
roal,-dormant for 20 years, erupted one
week . ago. . The steamer Dora, then '60
miles distant ; and . bound for Kodiak,
witnessed 'the approach of 'a huge ash
cloud which was accompanied by terri
fic' - electrical discharges, '
; The ship was completely enveloped
for five hours. Immersed in deep dark
ness, the ashes and fumes choking all
onboard.'- "j . i ! : ,

: For 13 hours the . Dora steamed sea

ashes. It was Impossible to touch at
Kodiak. . A storm raged.
'The revenue cutter .Manning- and can
nery boats took the Inhabitants ;of Ko
diak and the Wood Island mission
aboard, but' it' was' impossible to leave
the . shore on account of the intense
darkness. - Normally that district, now
