SURVIVOR’S STORK
snGMv m
The following account of the loss
of the Superb; near Skagway, early
on the morning of July 4th, was giv
en to the Skagway Alaskan by Jnd
Matthews, who was one of the few
saved:
"A pret'ty stiff breeze bad been
blowing alt day and the water kept
getting more rough until seduction
Point, about twelve miles beloW
Haines, was reached, when It was
decided to turh back home, which
was accordingly done.
“When we go* to HAines about 1
o’clock on the mOrnlhg of the 4th,
a stop Whs made With the’ Intention
of Ikying over there uiitil tfcie wind
went down and'then cOhtlhUlng oh
to Juneau, but we were told thkt
there was no hopes of that taking
place, so after spending an hour
there the boat was again headed for
Skagway.
i “Before leaving Haines, however,
a change had been effected in the
list of passengers on board, George

Matthews, Otia Oakes, Clark and B.
Vance getting off and four others,
Monte Price, Thos. Matureln, John
Logan, and a colored woman named
Myrtle Burlington, taking their
places.
“Between Mains and Skagway all
went well until at 4:30 o’clock a
point had been reached about three
and a half miles south Of here and
a half mile south of Sturgill’s wood
camp, on the east shore of the ca
nal. The launch was pretty well in
shore, with only a moderately strong
breeze blowing, when it suddenly
lurched, throwing all the people on
board to one side, their combined
weight causing the boat to turn bot
tom side up almost in the twinkling
of an eye.
“All managed to get out of the
cabin of the overturned boat except
Orchard and Arthur Bootte, the lat
ter of - whom was asleep. Orchard
immediately broke out one of the
windows, cutting his right hand bad
ly in doing so, and when the boat
rolled back he managed to crawl
through and get a band held along
with the others, who were clinging
to the sides. Young Boone got out
some way, no one seeming to know
how, and also managed to support
himself by holding to the boat.
“All those on board, except Bell
and Logan, succeeded in keeping
themselves afloat with the assistance
of the boat. Bell swam to a trunk
that was floating in the water a short
distance away and, clasping it in his
arms, tried to make shore. When
almost there, however, he rolled ov
er on his back, with the trunk up
permost, and that was the lust seen
of him.
“From that time on the casualties
were but a repetition of each other.
Whenever the boat rolled, which it
was constantly doing, some of the
benumbed fingers relaxed their hold
and their owners slipped quietly into
the water and were seen no more.
Their going could be told by the sur
vivors by the roll of the boat when
they let go.
“When the boat first turned over
there was a great deal of excite
ment, everyone yelling and appar
ently not knowing what to do, but
in a short time two or three took
the lead and after that things went
better. Henry Bernhofer was hold
ing on to the boat, but when it roll
ed he and Arthur Boone were forced
to let go. They were two or three
feet away and X called to Henry to
catch hold of my foot and hold on,
but he seemed to be dazed and paid
no attention, and after struggling for
a short time went down.
"Boone heeded my call, seized my
foot and shortly after 1 was enabled
to drag him up onto the boat.
“Stanley Dillon managed to stay
with the boat fiuite a while, but final
ly let go, although 1 did not see him
when he did so.
“Logan thought that he could swim
ashore, and after I had helped him
to put on a life preserver he started
out and had almost reached it when,
for some reason, he turned back to
ward the boat. I yelled tor him to
go on as he was as near to the shore
as he was to the boat, but he did
not seem to understand. When I
again looked for him he was gone.
“At this time all my attention was
taken up with trying to save Orch
ard, who apepared to have given up
all hope. He was hanging on and
the seas Were washing over his face.
I managed to get hold of him and
pull him up so that his body wab
across one of my arms between my
body and the boat. It was sobn af
ter this that we Were taken off.
“Shortly after the boat went over
Tom Running and Peterson started
out for shore and managed to reach
It at almost the same place, about
a half a mile th<s side of Sturgill’s
wood camp. Running was the first
to land and he at once started along
the shore line over the cliffs for
Skagway. There is a trail, but he
failed to find It, so It took him much
longer than it would have otherwise
done to reach the dock, where he
edtfld get help and Cdfne to our re
lief. I
"The boat In the meantime was
drifting out into the hay. We were
In' plaih sight of Skagway and kept
calling for help, hot no one ht&rd,
and it was not until near eight
o’clock that relief reached us.
“One of the fellows frtim Seattle
hung (fft until the relief boat was
weir out toward tie, and although I
told him It was coming he apparent
ly- could hold out no longer and let
go.”
