DAYS OF HORROR MARKED
VOYAGE OF SILVER WAVE
As recited fur the Nugget by Captain
Gudmuudspn.
We left Nome, the lust heat of the
season last fall, on November tenth
at one !’• M and had a light and favor
aide breeze front the Northeast anil ar
rived off Capi Itontanoff the next
morning at daylight. There we first
encountered ice in considerable quan
tity and sailed west for about thirty
miles looking for an opening to get
through It Was at first supposed that
the lee was front the Tukon anti we
could go around it, hut we soon found
that the floe was thicker the farther
we went west so we decided to push
through as it was no use to return to
Nome. Having made the decision we
started through with all sails set and
tie engines full speed ahead and after
some difficulties got through on the
morning of Nov. 1". The ice pack was
Oiglity miles wide as we discovered be
foie we gut through amt on emerging
we were in tin \ tcinitj of N'univak
Island. We wire no sooner through
than we run ini" a heav\ southeaster
which increased t" a gale toward even
ing and by morning was a raging hur
ricane accompanied by heavy snow and
a high sea.- Tile storm lasted for three
days and suddenly calmed. We were
commencing I" think that every thing
would go along nicely but were doomed
to dissapointment as four hours later
tlie wind turned to tie northeast and
commenced ns hard as before. The
sea also came up again with greater
violence than before, It wasn't long
before the fierce wind compelled us to
lay too for twelve hours but at last
the wind went down and we started on.
We lost part of our sails during the
gale but were otherwise all right.
tin die morning of ttie Ifith we sight
ed t’nimak Pass about five o'clock A.
At We intended to go through False
l ass lint on account of the new storm
which had blown down mi us from the
northwest and kick* d up a high sea.
we had to give tip the idea of going
through Kalsc Pass and s" headed for
I'll I male Pass. We arrived off the
Pass about se\ en in tlu* *-\cning. It
was blowing a hurricane mil there
were squalls of hail so dense that at
times We couldn’t sec bill a short dis
tance'. The current running North
against the wind created mountainous
seas and the vessel was bouncing
around like a cork. We concluded not
to attempt to make the passage (luring
the night and so hove to.
We were then sonic twenty miles
north of tlie .Mentions and as dark
ness came on were drifting rapidly in
a southwesterly direction
At dai’ break the next day we hoisted
sail and started for land and after a
struggle with wind and water arrived
at the North head of Akutau Pass. As
out fuel supply w.is getting short and
it being impossible to open the hatches
to secure more from the supply carried
in the hold we decided to attempt to
go through, although the Akutan Pass
is seldom used by navigators especially
when ,i Northwesterly gale is blowing
We hadn't much choice about our de
rision as we had to find an anchorage
iti order to reach the much needed oil
The gale continued to blow furiously
and the tide rips in the Pass looked
at a distance like a white, foaming
wall of breakers. It looked had but
we liad to go ahead, so tarpaulins
were spread over the rompanionway »
and every thing was made tight and
the passengers went below The wind
was not favorable but the chart
showed twenty fathoms of water, so.
wilh forestays set and the engine wide
open, we entered the Pass. The surge
of wind and sea was terrific and at
