Black and White Pup Survives
Harrowing ExperWce at Sea
NEW YOKE, UP—it salty sam,
the only dog who rides a Navy
ship as mascot, could talk, he
might clear up a mystery of the
sea.
The little black and white pooch
was the only living thing found
aboard a derelict Portuguese fish
ing boat drifting in the North
Atlantic in October, 1953.
The vessel, flying a distress
flag, was discovered by the U.S.
Navy auxiliary ship Wrangell.
The Wrangell’s crewmen found on
the ship only a dead man and
Salty Sam, then a badly emaci
ated pup. There was no indication
of what happened to the other
crew members.
Navy rules forbade taking an
animal aboard ship. So the Wran
gell began towing the derelict.
The next day the fishing boat
broke up and sank. Salty Sam
could be seen paddling desperate
ly in the high seas.
Captain George Demetropolis
threw the rules overboard and
had Salty Sam hauled to safety.
When the Wrangell returned to
port, Demetropolis obtained per
mis j*ftokeep the dog on as
mascot—to the delight of 13 other
officers and 220 crewmen of the
ship.
Demetropolis now is adminis
trative officer of the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. The Wrangell is under
the command of Capt. John Cor
bus of Ballejo, Calif.
Friday the Wrangell hove into
the Brooklyn yard and Demetrop
olis was on hand with his seven
eyar-old daughter, Angelica.
Salty Sam, so named by the
Wrangell crew, is a fat and sassy
character now.
But when he saw Demetropolis,
he gave his benefactor an all-out
greeting of frantic tail-wagging
and hand-licking.
Still, if Salty Sam could only
talk. . . .

GAMBELL NEWS
By CLARENCE IRRIGOO
November 19, 1954
Only one more day of bad
weather would have forced the
captain of the North Star to leave
St. Lawrence Island with two
scow loads of Savoonga Native
Store freight.
On the morning of Nov. 5 the
North Star, already over weeks
late due to bad weather, zig
zagged through heavy ice around
Gambell Point, giving up waiting
any longer off Savoonga.
Ice was coming in heavy packs
from the north and the northwest.
In spite of the approaching ice
bergs, the brave skipper, Capt.
Salenjus, stopped the big ship
close to the west beach of Gam
bell. In a matter of a few hours
all the Savoonga freight, except
oil was on the frozen shore some
30 to 40 miles away from its desti
nation.
Before the day was over, every
thing went into warehouses, only
to be transported again on the last
leg of the journey—this time via
the “Northland Express,” that is,
by dog team.
All of the Gambell freight and
the Alaska Native Service school
oil was all discharged a day ear
lier when the North Star convert
ed itself into an LST.

A beautiful baby girl was born
last month to Mrs. and Mrs. Lewis
Iyakitan. She was named Geral
dine. A baby boy was born to
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Campbell
several days earlier.
* * *
Dog teams from Savoonga
brought sad news of the death of
Horace Akeya of Savoonga. It
was learned that Mr. Akeya had
passed away at his camp. Cause
of death was undisclosed; but it
was revealed that he died after a
short illness.
He is survived by a widow, two
sons, five daughters and many
grandchildren. Mr. Akeya is well
known by many people in Alaska.
