CUTTER UNALGA RUSHES
DOCTOR TO AID OF
CORWIN ENGINEER
BY FRED WEILER.
The Corwin's voyage was marred by
a most distressing accident to Engineer
.1 It. .Tackling. After leaving Seward
pleasant weather was encountered,
uniil having passed through Shelikof
Straits then It roughened up consider
ably. The Corwin dropped onehor tit
Pirates Cove Saturday Mat 15th and
passengers were given an opportunity
to fish for cod. After several hours of
this sport author was weighed and
voyage eontinued. After passing the
Shamagtn Islands the setts were run
ning quitp high and the Corwin was
metal in the man. Immediately after
the accident Captain Healv ordered
full steam ahead and the old Corwin
cat the Witter as It never hud before.
We passed through Cnirnak Pass at
about eleven p. m. and steered a course
in Heritor Sea to 1'nalaska arriving
there sit six a. m. where a doctor was
procured and the patient removed to
the marine hospital. The Cutter T'naltra
was at sea and was wirelessed to come
to I’nalaska at onee so t tie ship's
doctor could assist the port doctor In
the operation that was necessary. Cap
tain Hamlet of the ITnalga made a
i
STEAMER CORWIN UNLOADS ON THE ICE.
I Nobbing around quite freely. About
I fort\ miles southeast of Scotch (’ape
(apparently one of these seas threw
j.laekling off liis balance and his left
' leg was eaught in the maehinerv and
jail blit torn off. darkling was carried
j to the upper deck and made comfort
able in a stateroom all to himself and
nursed as tendely as rough hands could
do it. That he suffered untold agony
at each motion of the vessel is certain,
yet at no time, from the time of the
accident to our arrival at Hutch Har
hor did he he lose consciousness or a
smile leave his fare, showing the true
furred run us was evidenced by the
paint being all burned off the smoke
stack ami tile I'nalga reached port at
4:30 p. :n. and the two doctors per
formed the operation successfully, and
at the time of the Corwin's departure
next day, duckling was doing well.
A purse was made up among the
Corwin’s passengers and crew and
about $200.00 was subscribed, so that
voting Jackling could get any necessi
ties that he might require while con
fined at this port. After .Tackling is
strong enough to travel he will be
taken to his home in Seattle
CORWIN

E BY FRED WEILER.
( Charles Rosenberg, resident "f Uni
E mak Island for the past thirty-five
E years made s most phennminul and
unpmendented eateh of fox on that
n ] island last winter, having caught a
_ I total of 750. These skins are of higher
quality and grade than any others se
l |cured on the neighboring Islands, and
J have the reputation of being equal, if
not better than any skins secured in
other parts of Alaska. Among them
were quite a large number of black and
a few silver. Mr. Rosenberg had con
templated bringing a load of codfish to
Nome, lint upon hearing that the
Challenge was at Dutch Harbor for
the same purpose he abandoned that
prospect.
.loo Ross, of Nome, who has been
connected with the schooner Challenge
on its codfish expedition at 1'nalaska
all winter has purchased at that point
the 77* ton top mast schooner Olga.
Joe will reach Nome on the arrival of
the Cutter Rear, where he will pro
cure an engine and install the salm
on the Olga and enter the codflshing
business in the vicinity of Dutch Har
bor. .Too says this industry is a great
field and there is a great market for
these fish.
A codfisher named J. Campbell was
picked up by a cannery boat in Unimak
Pass on May 11th. Campbell had been
adrift in his dory for ten days and was
in an exhausted condition from ex
posure and hunger and was found in
tlie nick of time to save Ids life, lie
was taken to tlie Marine hospital at
Unalaska for treatment.
The Marine hospital at Unalaska is
now being overtaxed far beyond its
limit. It was constructed to bold six
inmates, and now with the seven frost
ed ship wrecked sailors, the fisher
man Campbell, found adrift in Unimak
Pass, and J. R. .Tackling, tlie engineer
who lost his leg on the Corwin, mak
ing nine. This is the first time in the
history of Its existence that more than
one or two patients were ever therein
at one time.
The first ice the Corwin encountered
I was on Thursday afternoon about 20
I miles to ttie northward of Nuntvak
) Island, the Corwin then went eastward
| until Cape Romanoff was sighted.
! These packs did not slow down the
•steamer to any great extent. Friday
morning we were about too miles south
of Nome and entered a pack that sopm
od to have no ending in any direction,
tin' ice was very flat hut packed close
and for hours our speed diminished to
one mile per hour. We got a radio
I from Nome giving ice conditions there
which was not encouraging. Wc
I cracked ice until seven p. m. then a
north wind sprung up which gave us
some good leads. At 9 p. m. we sighted
land, all leads running eastward. At
midnight we tied up. Started seven a.
m. Saturday and were about 50 miles
southeast of Cape Nome and from
there on to our arrival at Nome It was
a ease of hard grind.
Captain Anivlk who lias been in
command of the whaler Kit and other
vessels in tlie Arctic in previous years
will net in the capacity of Walrus
Pilot on the Corwin in its Arctic hunt
jand have charge of all details in that
department.
Tlie Corwin and the Polar Pear left
Pnnlaska together, as a good breeze
was blowing outside of Akutan Pass,
the Polar P.enr shot past the Corwin
and was out of sight. Next day wtien
ttie wind died down the positions were
reversed. The Polar P.ear is going as
far as St. Lawrence Island, then start
direct for the Siberian coast.
The first fifty miles north of Akutan
Pass was pretty rough and many of
the passengers who thought that by
this time they were hardened to a sea
faring life and had. good sea legs
were again placed hors de combat and
went to the rail. As cabbage was on
the menu the’ previous meal, of course
that famous vegetable came in for a
great deal of abuse and bad to hear
the brunt, the only exception being
Prank Orimm who elnimed ills naseau
■ was caused bv a painful eye tooth.
Large flocks of ring neck plover were
encountered, that had been separated
from tiie main migratory body going
northward, and were flying aimlessly
about in tlie fog. A few of the tired
ones took a rest on the rigging of the
Corwin.
c*n the night of the 19th considerably
to tlio westward of Nunivnk Island a
snow storm that covered the decks
several inches, was a sort of a “wel
come to our city” to the old sour- (
doughs.
The Nomeites who suffered In the
Seward tire were Tke Evans and A1
Chamberlain. Ike's dwelling was near
the depot and Al’s dwelling about a
mile and a half further hack on Babbit
point and was in course of construc
tion. tins Peterson's home, about half j
way between the two. had a narrow es- j
cape. Several of the Corwin passen
gers. knowing his location, fought their
way through the smoke and brought
his wife and children to the Corwin,
then gathering a bunch of Corwin pas
sengers returned and heat down the
flames that were crawling towards his
home.

W. J. Williamson of the Peoples
Laundry suffered a had accident while
returning from a trip to the Corwin
(this morning, owing, it is said, to «
loaded dog team striking his lower
limbs. The muscles and ligament* of
liis right leg were badly torn and
strained necessitating the surgical at
tentions of Dr. Chace. The injuries,
while not serious, will give the patient
trouble for a while.
A considerable crowd was on hand
at the edge of the ice pack to greet
: lie Corwin when she came to rest
ifter tile long struggle through the ice
does at 4:34 p. m. yesterday and
throughout the balance of the day
numerous sleds and many pedestrians
were observed making the trip to the
dge of the shore ice. That the ar
rival of the first boat is some event in
the life of the community was best
evidenced by the fact that nearly
everyone in town was out on the
streets to observe or greet the new ar
rivals and hear all about the winter
experiences of the returning sour
doughs.
