El Capitan Leave
Soon Down Coast
The readers of the Nome Nug
get have already been advised
through its columns of the many
handicaps and hurdles in the
way of long tows with two barg
es and a tug through the ice
fields before reaching the Nome
roadstead of the good ship El
Capitan of the Consolidated Ol
ympic Line under Captain Johan
sen.
These hardships did not stop
the sturdy Norse Captain who
fought every inch of the way un
til he dropped anchor here Tues
day night at 9:30.
After encountering so many
difficulties before arriving here,
they considered their troubles
over after the anchor was drop-'
ped. However, another problem
had to be met in unloading the 30
ton derrick crane belonging to
Heinie Berger of the Berger
[Lighterage Co. 8 by 14 timbers

ESTABLISHED IN 1900
from the ship to the barge and
when the crane was about half
day down, one of the timbers
broke and the crane landed on
one corner of the barge and it
started to sink but this catas
trophe was averted by the crane
being held up with the ships
cables. A second barge was rush
ed along side the sinking barge
and lashed to it and it was tow
ed to the beach by the tug Sut
wick belonging to Heinie Berger.
Several cats were used to pull
the barge up as far as possible on
the beach and after 24 hours of
strenuous labor of raising the
crane to an even keel to be run
off the scow and a temporary
ramp completed, the crane was
run onto the beach. Crowds of
people thronged the beach all
night watching the excitement
and all sighed a sigh of relief
when it was finally safe ashore.
Immediately the crane was run
upon the beach it was moved to
the dock where it was made
ready for unloading the barges
which were loaded with freight.
Unloading of the El Capitan is
expected to be completed tonight
and the ship will proceed to
Golovin, Unalakleet, Solomon,
Teller and then to Keewalik
where a thousand tons of freight
will be discharged for the Arc
tic Circle Exploration Co.
Captain Johansen and Purser
Wilkenson were ashore Thursday
paying visits to the various busi
ness houses in Nome.
