NOW HINTED THAT COLLISION
WAS NOT ACCIDENTAL
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. G. When naval
men heard of the wreck of the F type of
submarines in Honolulu by a government
steamer, the general opinion was that the
work was done purposely, and that the sail
( rs are glad that they are now destroyed.
The statement is made by men who
served in almost all the under-sea boats of
the F type that none of them was safe, and
that this was known to everyone, and that
they were known as the “diving coffins’*
among the rank and file of the navy.
May Not Be Repaired
WASHINGTON, Sept. G. It is admitted
that it is unlikely that any of the wrecked
F type of submarines will be repaired and
remodeled along the same line as before. If
any of them can be refitted they will be
reconstructed alrng totally different mod
els This is regarded lu re as u practical ad
mission that the F type are unsafe, dan
gerous and inefficient. The view is se
cretly shared among naval men that the
wreck of these vessels in Honolulu was far
from accidental. They were not wanted in
the navy. _
Launch Tramp, with Score of Passengers, Frozen
In on Lower Yukon, Gut of Reach of Tele
Prompt Motion
Ip to a late hour last night no word had been received as to the whereabouts of the launch Tramp,
which left here at midnight on October 6 with about twenty-five passengers, most of whom were bound
for'St. Michael to take one of the last boats for Seattle. Some of her passengers were only booked for
Dikeman, and a few expected to stop at Marshall City. While there is little fear that the party has met
with serious disaster, it is beyond doubt that they are frozen m somewhere on the Yukon, and will be com
pelled to make camp until relief can reach them. The fact that there arc women in the party, and also
that William Detering, a helpless invalid, was on board, makes the position of the party somewhat difficult.
But it is pointed out that there are many experienced men among the passengers and crew of the launch,
and that the well-known resourcefulness of Alaskans will stand them in good stead and bring them safely
out of their difficulties. ,
Ray Henderson, in charge of the Tramp, stated when he left here that he expected to make St.
Michael in ninety-six hours. He started promptly on schedule, and with the determination to push right
through. It was expected that there would be other passengers for the launch at Marshall City, among
them Dan McKinzie and Mrs. Frank McGibnev. Sin ce there has been no report of the vessel since she left
here, it is not known whether these persons were added to the Tramp’s passenger list.
FIRST INTIMATION OF DANGER
The first intimation that all might not be well with the party was given by the wireless telegraph op
erator at Nulato, who telegraphed that he had heard n othing from St. Michael about the launch Tramp. He
stated that the Yukon was closing fast, and that the thermometer had registered 19 degrees below zero at
that point the previous night. A launch from Fort Gibbon had been caught m the ice at Nulato.
On Wednesday, no word having been received, Harry Yeager telegraphed the White Pass Agent at
St. Michael as follows:
“Henry Riley, Barney Walsh, Ford and fifteen others left here 6th launch Tramp. Reported not ar
rived. Do what is needed to find them. Answer col lect.
The following answer was received: _
“Have no tiding of party. Canal reported frozen over. No boat here to go up river with.
“C. A. MALMQUIST, Acting Agent.”
TO GUARD AGAINST POSSIBLE DISASTER
Upon receipt of the above telegram it was realized that the vessel evidently had been overtaken by
the ice.* But it was thought possible that the party might have reached the mouth of the river before the
freeze-up. It was known that Henderson had been in communication with the master of the schooner
Arctic with a view of having that vessel meet him at St. Michael and convey the party to Nome. Having
in view the possibility that Ira Ranke, the master of the Arctic, might have news of the party, The Pioneer
telegraphed him, stating the situation and inquiring for any news in his possession. The answer came on
Thursday night that no word had been received from Henderson since he left Iditarod.
By this time it was realized that the parly was in grave need of assistance. Ihe vessel was provi
sioned only for the short voyage, and unless they were laid up at some river settlement they would be
short of provisions. Many of the party were not provided with heavy clothing. The weather, while cold,
had not been unusually stormy, and little fear was felt that accidetn had befallen them. However, to
guard against the possibility of disaster, it was felt that relief should be started, and with this end in view
The Pioneer, after consultation with Deputy Marshal Charles and other citizens, telegraphed the Fairbanks
News-Miner, detailing the circumstances and urging that newspaper to interest the government officials
there in procuring a relief party from the military post at St. Michael, and urging haste.
RELIEF PARTY IS ON THE WAY
The response from Fairbanks was most gratifying, and gives assurance that Uncle Sam s officials are
alive to the seriousness of the situation and will leave no stone unturned in an effort to locate the missing
party. Yesterday afternoon The Pioneer received the following dispatch from the Fairbanks News-Miner:
“Have notified Judge Bunnell and Marshal Erwin. They in turn communicated with McIntyre and re
ceived the following reply: ‘Yours le launch Tramp. Ail stations otlow Nulato abandoned. Cannot reach
Holy Cross, Russian Mission. Nulato advised contents your message.—McIntyre.
A later dispatch from the News-Miner was as fol lows:
“Just received the following: ‘Officer in command Nulato informs will open Kotiik. Have requested
St. Michael to send searching party to operate from Kotiik.’ Will keep you posted.”
McIntyre is supposed to be the army officer in charge either at Fort Gibbon or St. Michael. Kotiik is
the wireless station near the mouth of the Yukon, and had been abandoned for the winter' prior to the
exchange of the above telegrams.
NO NEED FOR ALARM AS YET
While a voyage such as that undertaken by the launch Tramp is always fraught with a certain
amount of danger at this season of the year, men who know the Yukon thoroughly declare that there is no
cause for alarm as to the safety of the party. That they will experience some discomfort, and possibly
hardship is probable; but there seems to be little fear that disaster has overtaken the craft.
The relief party from St. Michael probably wil find them encamped at some point on the lower river,
awaiting succor, and knowing that their non-appearance would cause a search to be made for them. The
fact also that there are many among the passengers who are used to battling with the elements is a point in
their favor.
