JEANIE REPLACES
S. S. SAMPSON
i -
Alaska Coast Company Plan Many
Changes in Present Alaska Liner
—Jeanie Will Take Run.
SEATTLE, Nov. 22.—The Alaska
Coast company have announced the
withdrawal of the steamer Admiral
Sampson on her return from the
present northern trip and the placing
of the. steamer Jeanie on the run
in her place. The change is made
temporarily so that repairs can be
made to the Sampson. When inter
viewed by a representative of the
Prospector Frank Watson, general
agent of the company, who is mak
ing the round trip on the Sampson,
gave the Prospector the following
Statement:
"The Pacific-Alaska Navigation
Company, the holding company of the
Alaska Coast Company and the Alas
ka-Pacific Steamship Company, an- i
nounce the purchase of the steam-1
ors Admiral Dewey and Admiral Sch- j
ley, which vessels, at the present:
time, are in Brooklyn, N. Y.. from '
which port they will sail about Jan.:
25th via the Panama canal for the
Pacific coast, arriving in Seattle ^
about Feb. 10th, where they will join
the steamer Admiral Farragut on the
Seattle-San Francisco, route, thus re-,
lieving the steamers Admiral Samp
son and S. S. Watson.
“The company further announce
the placing on the Southwestern
Alaska route of the steamers. Ad- i
miral Evans and the Admiral Wat- j
son (now called the Buckman and
Watson), effective Feb. 1st, on a ten
day schedule, sailings from Tacoma
and Seattle on the 5th, 15th and 25th
of each monlth, calling at all the
regular ports of call—port to port j
schedule to be published later. Be
fore being placed in this service both
vessels will be thoroughly overhauled j
and refitted with especial attention to 1
be given to the wants and comforts .
of Alaska travel. The passenger ac- j
commodations will be practically re-!
built and many new features will be
added and improvements made that;
will make both vessels attractive to!
the traveling public. Both vessels are
oil burners and absolutely double-bot
tom throughout and are especially
adapted, for the Southwestern am.
the Southeastern Alaska route.
"In. order 'o facilitate the plans it
became absolutely necessary to with
draw the Admiral Sampson from the
run, effective with the return of the
vessel to Seattle this present trip.
Upon arrival in Seattle she will re
place the S. S. Buckman on the Se
attle-San Francisco route and that
vessel will go into the hands of the
contractors for the making of the
changes as stated above. Under her
new name of the Admiral Evans, she
will make her initial trip to Alaska
on Feb. 5th. The Admiral Bewey and
the Admiral Schley will arrive on the
10th, the Admiral Sampson will sail
from Seattle for Alaska ports on the :
15th of Feb., where, with the Ad- i
miral Evans, will keep the schedule J
until the Admiral Watson can be
placed in commission, which will be
about April 16th.
in giving tne above uetauen ac
count of plans we <lo so feeling that
an explanation is due to our patrons, j
who have so faithfully supported us
in the past, and furthermore, it has ;
always been the policy of the com- i
pany to he very trank with its pa- j
Irons and the public in general, and
f'or this reason we have endeavored
to explain very thoroughly the mat
ter of our intentions concerning the
Southwestern Alaska route, as well sis j
our plans for making these changes
with the idea of showing the impossi
bility of keeping the Sampson on the
run and being ready for the demands
of our patrons in the early spring
rush. Up to within a short time ago
it was the plans of the officials of
the company to run the Sampson all
winter, but, brought face to face with
the problem of making these changes
both with and on the vessels, it was
found Imperative, much to the regret
of all, to take the Admiral Sampson
off the run Immediately. The atten
tion of our patrons is drawn to the
contemplated service for 1914 as fol
lows:
“On the Seattle-San Francisco
route—Admiral Dewey, Admiral Far
ragut and the Admiral Schley.
“On the Southwestern Alaska route
—Admiral Evans and Admiral Wat
son, leaving Tacoma and Seattle ev
ery ten days.
j “Admiral Sampson, unattached,
' which makes it possible for us to
keep our schedule all the year round,
ns when a vessel Is laid up for an
'till'd overhauling.”
