THE STEAMSHIP MARIPOSA IS
. SLUG INTO DEEP WATER
Seattle, Oct. 11—The latest ad
vices received here are to th© ef
fect that the ocean liner Mariposa
of the Alaska Steamship Co. fleet,
which struck the rocks at Pointer
Island, B. C-. ten miles south of
Bella Bella during a fog early Fri
day morning, is sliding off Into
deep water and will probably be a
total loss. Even if she can he
salvaged it Is though it will be a 1
hard task to accomplish for it is ,
believed the vessel was very b&dly i
strained by her impact with the ;
rocks.
The ilaripoea had on board 79 !
pas&eiigers and about 1,000 tons of j
freight, all of her cargo being in
sured except 250 tons for the Al- |
aska railroad commission at An
chorage. The passengers were tak
en to Ketcaikac by the Borderline
Btearner Lespatch and from there
will take tho Admiral Evans north- j
bound.
The ilarlposa was launched at
Philadelphia In 18S3. She had a
gro6s tonnage of 3,158 tons, was
314 feet long, 41 feet wide, and
17.3 feet deep, and usually carried
a crew of 50 mew.
She is a sister shiD of ths steam
ship Alameda, which was built for
tho Oceanic Steamship company
while the Mariposa was under con
struction. The Spreckels Interests
of California operated her between
San Francisco and the Antipodes
for several years. Later the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Co. placed the
Mariposa and Alameda in the Ha
waiian island-San Francisco ser
vice. The vessel^ at that time were
the fastest boats in the Pacific
and were speedier than most of the
boats on the Atlantic.
Five years ago the Mariposa was
purchased by the Alaska Steamship
Co. and put on the run by the out
side route between Seattle and Cor
dova. About three years ago she
entered the Southeastern Alaska
service and took the "inside jjas
saga"
