JUNEAU PARTY HAVE
HARROWIHG EXPERIENCE
A talc of suffering and hard
ship seldom equaled is the one
told by the survivors of the gas
boat Viking, which was wrecked
on- Chicagof island at midnight,
March 17. says the Juneau Em
pire.
The party ocnsisting of Capt.
John Madsen, Mrs- Susie Carter
and child, and Fred Olsen, left
Tenakee on ' the Viking, a 26
foot gas boat, on the morning of
March 17. Shortly after leaving,
trouble with the engine was had.
\iter working with the engine
for a short time the boat was an
chored a short distance from
shore. Along toward evening
the north wind began to blow
and it \va$ impossible to start
the engine. The anchor dragged
and at midnight the boat struck
on a reef about 50 feet from
shore anil started to pound to
pieces. The waves by this time
were running high, and an at
tempt had to be made to reach
shore.
The captain reached shore
with difficulty a^ his feet had
been frost bitten and Fred Olson
swarm ashore with Mrs. Carter
and the child. A fire was built
on the shore by Olsen and he and
Mrs. Carter worked for five
hours in an endeavor to draw the
frost out of the captain's feet.
About io o’clock the next
morning the party, hungry and
ill-clad, started to walk down
the beach toward Hoonah, 25
miles distance. There were no
shoes in the party and their coat
sleeves were torn out to wrap
around their feet to protect them |
from the sharp rocks on the
beach- The party dragged them
selves along until about 6 o’clock
when they were picked up by the
gas boat Alice.
The captain of the Alice tried
to make Hoonah but the sea was
nmning too high and after four
days of alternately bucking the
sea and anchoring the bow of the
;boat vvasi fceadfed for Douglas,
wfvere they arrived last Thurs
day.
The Viking and all personal
belongings of the party on board
are a total loss. Captain Madsen
has recovered from the effects of
the frost bite, but his feet are
still tender. The others of the
party have entirely recovered
from their harrowing experi

ALASKA NOTES
That there is more mining
going on in the vicinity of Ket
chikan than there is at either
Valdez, Cordova, Seward or
Fairbanks,is the statement made
by the Progressive Miner in a
recent issue. The paper resents
the mention of all these ofher
places by prominent mining
journals of the coast and nothing
said about Ketchikan. It says:
“The Ketchikan precinct has
several good mines that are
being worked extensively. Oth
ers are being opened up which
will make the precinct one of
the most prosperous mining pre
cincts of the country. Appar
ently some of those mining pub ,
lications are informed only in
spots.”
Diver C. F. Stagger recently
returned to Ketchikan from a
visit to the wreck of the Ramona
near Spanish island, says the |
Douglas Island News. Mr. Stag- j
ger reports that the Romona!
wreck : in ten fathoms of water,
anchored between two large
rocks, and owing to the under
current which makes working |
almost impossible except at ebb |
tide, the hull is battered and j
prtty well worn by being in con
stant motion against the two j
large rocks. The anchors and j
several fathoms of chain were!
secured and brought into town.!
During the five years they have j
[ suffered very little damage- The'
i boilers seem to be in very good
j condition, but all the piping is
torn loose and bent. Mrs. Stag
ger accompanied the diver and
has a number of dishes that
i were taken from the wreck, and
[ among the mtost interesting
I things found is the captain’s sex
tant.
j NOW IS THE TIME to
have vour spring job printing
done—before the boats arrive,
i prompt service and reasonable
prices at Nugget office.
