BERRY MEETS
WITH ANOTHER
MISFORTUNE
MORE HARD LUCK FOR
BERRY AND KELLOGG
Fred Berry and his brother-in-law
Jack Kellogg, who had their boat
wrecked by a gasoline explosion
while moving their effects to their
homestead on Mary Island, as told
in Monday’s Progressive-Miner; made
. another attempt yesterday, which re
ulted disasterously and they nar
rowly escaped with their lives.
Yesterday they chartered the gas
boat Grubstake, in charge of Geo.
• Fitzgerald and Ray Osborne, loading
Fred’s household effects into it, to
gether with Mrs. Berry and three
children the party set out again for
Mary Island. At the time of leav
ing town the water was perfectly
smooth, but at Nicholas Passage it
suddenly became rough and the en
gine stopped, all efforts to start it
again were unavailing. A heaw
anchor was thrown out but the line
parted, and the party was soon on a
rock right at ' Hans Apsch Trar
south of Saxman. Heavy seas
breaking over her carried off all of
the deck load including heavy ran'”
. Seating stove. They had two small
• boats along which they managed to
launch; Kellogg and Berry taking
Mrs. Berry and the children in the
. larger one, reached shore after a
desperate struggle, soakink wet and
chilled to the marrow.
The small boat with Fitzgerald
and Osborne capsized almost as soon
as it cleared of the wreck. Osborne
swam for the shore and landed bad'v
hurt by being dashed upon the rocks
* Fitzgerald was unable to swim, but
clung to the upturned boat and was
being rapidly washed toward the

ing his cries for help put out again
with the larger boat and with hard
work rescued him.
The whole party went ot Capt.
Forss’ house which is only a short
distance from where they went
shore. They found no noe at home
but they went in and made them
selves as comfortable as possibh
while some of the party walked to
Saxman and secured another gas
boat which brought them back to
town last night.
Mr. Berry says that settles the
homesteading for them. He has
lost practically everything except
what they cached in the indian cabin
at Ham Island. He is sending the
Creel out today to bring in his wife’s
mother and father who are already
down on the homestead, and
.o pick up their cache at Ham Island.
The sympathy of the community
is with the unfortunnat family. Mr.
Berry is under the necessity of se
curing work in town and we are
sure that the good people of Ket
chikan will see that he will not have
to seek for an opportunity to do so.
It is also to be hoped that no ill
consequences from the shock and
wetting will come to his wife and
children , the youngest of whom is
an eight months old baby.
