FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
GEORGE WILKS lS
FOUND HUNGRY BUT SAFE
A sigh -of relief went up in town
Inst night when it became known thnt
the Taku had arrived in port with
George Wilkes on board, the latter
somewhat the worse for his exper
ience, but otherwise safe. Accord
ing to the story of those on board
the Taku they were hunting ou Kelp
Island, just off Duke Island, and
on Sunday evening saw a big fire on
the shore of Duke. Some of the party
thought that possibly it was someone
in trouble, but the others were of the
opinion that it was an Indian camp,
o as it was very dark, with consul*"
able sea running and the point on
which the fire was burning was a
rock one, it was decided to wait un
til morning, especially as whoever
was keeping the fire burning was ap
parently making no signals. The next
morning the party arose at daybreak
and hunted on Kelp Island until be
tween nine and ten o’clock when they
returned to the Taku, and after eat
ing a lunch prepared to return home
intending to go over and see if any
help was needed. A lull in the wind
occurred ns they were raising the
anchor, and some of the crowd heard
cries for help. This settled the mat
ter and they made all haste to go
across the channel. Just as they were
nicely under way, the halibut schoon
er Stranger came along ahead of
them, and tho&c on board the latter
vessel seeing Wilkes on the beach
sent a dory in for him and then ran
on into the bay. to which place they
were followed by the Taku, and lie
was transferred to her.
Owing to the exposure, the nervous
strain and the unusual experiences
he had undergone, George was com
pletely exhausted, and could hardly
stand alone. His chief worry of
course was for his wife, whom he
had left <n the woods on the other
side of the island. As soon as he
had been made comfortable the Taku
went to bis camp, where the diseov
cry was made that Mrs. Wilkes, fear
ing something had happened to him,
had started to Ketchikan for assis
tance. Camp was broken and the lit
tle boy and bis nurse whom Mrs.
Wilkes had left there were taken on
board the Taku, and the party, hug
ging the shore line and keeping a
good watch for Mrs. Wilkes in the
little power boat, started for town
As they arrived at the north end of
the island they saw the fleet of half
a dozen or more boats headed down
to look for the missing man, and the
search and worry was over.
