MAKING ALli!
RECORD VOYAGE
The Mariposa, of the Alaska S.
S. Co., which arrived hero from the
westward today, will, if shy finishes
up the last leg of the voyage—be
tween here and Seattle—at the
sa'tne speed shown in the previous
part of the trip, make almost a new
record for the run betwto.i Seattle
and Cordova.
Coming noth, the time tousumed
between Seattle and Skagway, in
cluding all stops, was S4 hours, o;
3%days; and had it not been that
the vessel had to lay over seven
hours waiting for the tide at
Wrangell Narrows, the time would
have been reduced from 'lie above
figures that number of hoi rs, mak
ing it 77 instead of 84.
The run on the return trip from
Cordova to Skagway wai made in
36 hours, or from two to tour hours
less time than it usually takes.
Where the Mariposa an-! Alamed'i
save much time on th ,!r northern
voyages is in the few calls they
ure obliged to malce, Juneau,
Wrangell and Ketchikan heing th"
only ports between Sk.i'way and
Seattle where they slop.
THE BOATS
The Mariposa arrived from the
westward at 12:20 o'clock j>. in. to
day and continued south at 1: •* 0 i>.

left on her for the outside.
The John B. Stetson arrived in
port at 12:15 p. m. today and left
on her return to Portland at 1:
p. m.
The Jefferson, several days over
due, is expected in port at S o'clock
this evening.
The Alameda was reported at
Ketchikan at 8 o'clock last
and should be here tomorrow.
The Humboldt is du» to arrive
| on Thursday.
The City of Seattle left Ketchikan
I at 5 o'clock this L.orninr; and wilt
| get here sometime tomorrow, she
! has several passengers and 13 tons
! of cargo for Skagway.
The Georgia sailed from Juneau
for Skagway this morning, and will
probably be in here at al'OUt hor
usual time, 4 o'clock n. m. The
time of departure has been changed,
I however, and the boat will leave
at 12 o'clock midnight instead oi
| 2 a. m. as heretofore.

19 6E MARRIED
H. J. Lediard of the auditor's
force in the W. P. & Y. R. offices,
was a south bound passenger on the
Mariposa today to attend what will
doubtless be to him one of the most
delightful occasions in nis whole
career—his marriage to Miss Gladys
Leavitt, which happy ove.it is an
nounced to take place at the
Stockade hotel, Alki Point, West
Seattle, on the 5th of May.
It was touch and go with Mr.
Lediard whether he would be able
to cateli the boat or not, as it
only remaining a short time, and he
had miscalculated the date of sailing
not expecting it in port hero until
tomorrow. He made lightning change
connections, however, m getting
leave of absence from his duties,
packing his grip, etc. and reached
I he boat just a few minutes pre
ious to its departure, in an ex
hausted condition physically, but in
an extremely joyous state of mind.
I'XS INK ABLE LIFEBOAT
HAS NOVEL FEATURE
Recently an English inventor ex
Libited upon the Thames a lifeboa'.
which is claimed to be unsinkable.
It is a cylinder, pointed at both
f.nds, with sliding doors which may
be tightly battened, and affords a
refuge in emergency for 80 people.
This strange-looking craft may be
launched in a few seconds, accord
ing to the inventor, and buoyant
in the extreme, carrying its large
load easily and safely in a heavy
sea. Air is supplied to the interior
by means of a small pump. A pic
ture of the boat is a feature of the
May popular Mechanics Magazine.
