Today the ship is aground in Good News Bay, Alaska, near the end of her run, according to reports in-trecepted by Mackay Radio.

After an unsuccessful attempt early today to float the freighter, Capt. A. A. Miller messaged the Alaska Steamship Company here that he would start lightering the cargo immediately. PART OF IT UNLOADED The cargo of the 1481-ton craft, which aroused the interest of shipping men, is a dredge for platinum mining built by the Yuba Manufacturing Company of Benicia, and consigned to the Good News Bay Mining Company.

Part of it had to be unloaded at Daughters of nine cities joined with Betsy Ross Parlor of Centerville in a reception for the grand president, Ethel I.

It was transported in sections by rail from Benicia to the Encinal Terminal. It took a week to load the La Touche. When fully loaded the steamer was carrying almost its own weight of 2350 tons. Captain. Miller of Seattle, veteran Alaskan navigator, made tests of the ship's buoyancy and powers to ride the sea so heavily laden.

So full was the craft that pontoons of the dredge were piled 36 feet high on the foredeck, completely blocking the navigator's view from the bridge: These were unloaded, at the behest of the federal inspection service, and were left for another ship. THE TICKLISH FART The most ticklish part of his job, Captain Miller predicted, would be the unloading with lighters at Good News Bay. He predicted it would take 15 days. But the La Touche did not quite reach its objective, according to the report. MARTINEZ, Aug.
