H. Parker, H. j K. Strove. Ed. L. Terry, Eugene Hor- B ton, and one or two others.SZOHTXSO TBM WUCX.w ben four miles below Mokilteo the wreck was sighted, bottom np, four; opei miles sooth of the point where she met; of i with the accident, agronnJ in two the fathoms of wate'. The forward part of ; to e the hnli was all right from the fire-room ; Yak forward, but a hole was blown through j the the bottom, and se eral planks off at the tion knuckle. A portion of the horrioane : mit deck lay along side the wreck. The ex- j situ iJ'lion had tom it away aft the sraokentick. The main deck was tom up badly around the fire-room aft of the pump in the engine-room, and several planks were lord off of the bottom. The ! of t boiler seems to have blown up and for- J iear ward, t he wheel, rudders, engines, eo- j higi oentrios, purup and tillers are not ia- i and jnred. Several cords of wood in the i the hull forward assisted in keeping the Jud wreck afloat. 1 he wreck was towed into i the Tulalip Bay. and turned over, right side up, by Captain Smith of the Politkof-aky. A aearch was made in vain for noDisa,bat no vestige of a human being could be found among the wreck. The steamer-'a stays and rigging were still on board, her wheel is uninjured, and the capstan still in position.Captain Smith was none too soon in getting the wreek under shelter, as a strong north wind sprung up a few moments after the “Polly” reached Tula-lip with the remains of theJOSEPH IKK.The wrecked boat ia not so badly damaged as was at first supposed, and it is the intentiou to order a new boiler for her at once, lengthen her out fifteen feet, and have her again on the Skagit route within two months. It is estimated that $3600 will place her in better shape thap ever. Her keelson is broken in two amidships, aud that is the point where she will be cut in two t# be lengthened out. The wreok was left at Tululip, but will be brought Vo this city in a few days. TheIMDUMSalong the beaab have picked up much of the freight and considerable portable property from off the wreck and along the shore. The little safe, coutainuig at least $700, and the books of the boat will probably never be found. The Poiitkofsky returned st 7.30 last evening, and all hands spesk highly of th# way they were treated by Captain Frank Smith.vic«boaLevandmaientjwhchimSeathe]quahelentbanSigiTfoil, be i of a •jo bur sho tow pro up i ful out two the onP a P thainaiHtriforver;ingiret
