Schooner Wrecked.
The schooner Abide M. Deer in p,
in command .of CapL Harry Ob!
mentz, with thirty-two passengers
including two women, left Mmm
August 26 bound for Seattle, in
tending to stop at Kodiak and Val
dez en route.
They reached the Aleutianlslands
on the night of Sept. 3, and ran
into a pocket studded with rocks
on the Pacific aide. The mate who
was in charge seeing ttw danger
came to anchor and sent for the
captain. They were tiien about
400 yards from a bad looking bunch
of ruck and small islands, with the
tide rushing in that direction. The
captain seeing the situation order
ed the anchor raised. The mate
knowing the dancer of such a .pro
ceeding hesitated to comply and
asked the captain if he ckeired to
wreck the boat? The captain reit
erated hi* order, the anchor was
raised, and in a few minutes the
schooner was hooked upon the rocks
and her bottom stove in. 1
Three nativee saw the wreck and
went for assistance. In the mean
time the passengers knd crew were
occupied in getting to a place of
safety on a nearby island, while
two of their party A. Oleaon and
Mr. McDonald, with a small boat
undertook to follow the natives,
and are evidently lost, as no trace
of them could he found.
The cutter Manning met the ns
tires and went to the aid of the
wrecked people and took them on
board. They had been two days
on the island. They were brought
to Unulaska and transferred to the
Thetia.
The passengers are all very indig
nant at tlie treatment they received
on tlie scliooner Deering. They
say that the eook received instruc
tions to only parlioil the meat so
that lew would be eaten. They
make tin farther sietensest that
the loss of the vessel is due to crim
inal negligence, that no many occa
sions from Nome to the islands
they saw tbs wheel tied while un
der full sail and no one on deck,
and that generally at night.
