DR. JOS. A. SILVERMAN,
chased and fitted up a power-boat,
which they stocked with a camp
equipment and also took a skiff along
equipped with an Evinrude which was
run by K. Lazaroff. The men left here
on Wednesday afternoon for Mummy
Island to dig clams for the Pioneer |
Packing f’ompany, although Superin- I
tendent McConaghy endeavored to i
persuade them not to start out until |
the big boats owned by the company \
left.
When the party reached Whitshed 1
the boat went on the spit and Lazar- j
off wanted his companions to anchor
for the night and go ashore until I
morning. Pankoff, however, insisted
upon proceeding on the journey and
a fresh start was made. The gasoline
tank was empty after an hour's run
ning and as the engine became stalled
the boat started to drift. They had no
light abroad but by watching the land
marks learned that the tide was go
ing out, and brought large ice Hoes
from the flats.
Pankoff joined Lazaroff in the skiff
and together they held the line fast to
the power boat, and had it within
2.000 feet of the shore, when Pankoff
returned to the big boat and said he
would start his engine. He pulled the
line from the afelff and In doing so
the water put the Evlnrude out of
commission. The Ice was getting
thicker and realising his danger Laz
aroff started to row for the beach,
where he arrived several hours later
completely exhausted. He notified the
Pioneer camp at Strawberry Point of
the fate he feared was in store for his
companions, and power boats were
immediately dispatched to their res
cue, the search for the missing men
being kept up all day and until late
last night when Clyde Kelley, in
charge of boat No. 7, picked up the
body of Christ TripenolT at the end
of Strawberry Point. He also saw
the body of Pankoff, with a life pre
server on, but it was too near the
breakers to pick up. The remains of
TripenolT were brought to town dur
ing the night. The derelict boat was
seen about four miles from Steel
Point, it being upside down, and as
nothing was seen of the camp equip
ment it is supposed to have been
washed out with the tide.
Superintendent McConaghy has
sent out five power boats to search
for the missing men and every efTort
will be made by the company to re
cover their bodies.—Cordova Times.
