GREW OF SGHOONER
EMILY HAVE ID
The arrival of the native schooner
Kmily. of Si. Michael, yesterday ■
brought another of ihose tales of the j
sea which make the landsmen shudder
at the vicissitudes frequently suffered
by those who go down to the sea in
ships. The little vessel and its crew
of six men, all of whom are natives,
have, according to the story told by
those aboard, had an experience of
the most harrowing character during
the (last eight or nine days and have
been storm tossed and buffeted by
angry seas in a way that one is forced
to wonder that they survive.
In addition to being roughly handled
by the sea, the crew, for a period of
ight days, were compelled to go
without water and for six days prior
to their arrival in the roadsted from
Sledge Island they had no food of any
character. None of the men speak
Knglish and their story, as related
through a native interpeter is as
follows: The Kmily was in Hooper
Bay waiting a favorable wind to sail
for the Yukon when caught in a
tierce gale on Aug’ 12 which blew the
schooner to sea. The crew tried
vainly to get the anchor to hold but
without success. Once loosened from
its moorings the gale bore the little
vessel and its crew rapidly to the west.
After a hard struggle with the tempept,
they arrived at St. Kawrence Island
but could not land owing to the storm.
After cruising around the island for
a while the vessel was finally headed
for the mainland and, after being
nearly swamped a number of times
by the furious seas, finally arrived off
Sledge Island yesterday. There was
no water aboard the schooner when
leaving Hooper Bay and only enough

provisions to last two days. This
small supply was eked out as fur as
possible but by the morning of the
third day was exhausted. Front that
lime on until their arrival otf the Is
land not a morsel of anything passed
the lips of the crew. At Sledge Island,
some native fishermen were en
countered and they were enabled to
secure a half sack of flour and a
few dried salmon, the lirst food they
had had in six days. The natives
also told them how lo get to Nome and
they at once sot out, arriving here
yesterday afternoon. After anchoring
oft' the sandspit, the crew came ashore
and were taken by natives to the
Coast Guard station. The men were
in an absolutely destitute condition
and almost exhausted from their long
privation and battle with the elements.
Capt. Uoss provided them with a
change of clothing and also with food
before turning them over to the Bur
eau of Education this morning. The
coast guard also towed the schooner
in 1,0 Snake river where it was found
that she was leaking considerably.
As the crew are anxious to return to
their home at Hooper bay the Emily
will probably start on her return
tonight.
