The tire in the lower grate had been by this time extinguished by the rising sea waters, and the stokers were wading in the fire room up to their knees. » On this side of the island are two 1 small frame salt houses used for the storage and curing of sealskins by the North American Commercial Company, which has a lease of the island from the government.

It was on October 8 that the cutter Corwin, Captain Herring, which had » left St. Michael for Seattle and San Francisco on September 80, sighted the signal of distress flying from tho mast of the Laurada.

Here the Laurada’» passen gers were provided with blankets and made as comfortable as jxvssible.
