Launch Tramp Returns to City After Yukon Journey
The launch Tramp, laid up near the Yukon mouth since last fall, was brought to the city by Sieg Frid Wig and Billy Stoneman. It departed last October with 22 bound for the Outside, faced freezing near Koilik, and reached St. Michael. The craft was repaired after being found underwater and will carry mail between the city and Dikeman.

A mail consignment arrived on the Sea Wolf, with the Tramp taking outgoing mail Thursday. Mike Hochreter of Tokoma visited Sunday, and Howard Turner of the Northern Commercial Company arrived Monday.
