SCHOONERS WERE CRUSHED
INfO SHAPELESS MASS
A special to the Post-Jntelli
gencer'from Nome, Alaska, says:
Sam (Jottschalk, of the whaling
schooner Moras reached Nome
last night after a trip of 100
miles over the broken ice in Her- .
ing strait with news of the loss I
of Hie schooners Kittiwak and!
Moras and the hardships endured
by the members of the crew. The
two schooners were ca.ught in the
ice near the Siberian shore last
fall at the time of the freeze-up
and landed boats to prepare win
ter quarters. Before the men were
able l.i land all their provisions
or make extensive preparations
for the winter, a great storm
arose and they were unable to
return to their schooners. Dur
ing the storm the ice coming
down from tile Arctic caught the
schooners and crushed them into
a shapeless mass.
The crews, consisting of (iolts
chalk, Koren, a naturalist, the
owner of the Kittiwak: Albert
(■undersoil and (lus Schroeder,
started out in the lone remain
ing whaleboat in a desperate at
tempt to cross the strait through
the open leads in the great ice
does to the Seward peninsula.
Capt. Willing, of the Moras, re
fused to accompany them, believ
ing that their attempt would end
in death for all, and started south
along the Siberian coast in an
attempt to reach Plover bay,
where there is an Eskimo settle
ment. Whether he arrived there
is not known.
The party in the whaleboat en
countered a terrific storm near
Point Diomedes island and their
boat was smashed to splinters in
the surf and ice does when they
landed. For three months the
party subsisted on walrus, living
in huts constructed of stone and
ice, before they were able to at
tempt the passage over the brok
en ice to the Seward peninsula
and Nome.
The Kittiwak was a small aux
iliary gas schooner of 15 gross
tons. She was purchased two
years ago by Koren, who went
north in her to make a study of
Arctic wild flow-ers.
“Strenuosity.”
The editor of Ihe Skagway Daily
Alaskan has figured it out Ihal
Shakespeare’ and Scott and Bacon
and Johnson and Veritas and Vox
populi and all that raft of volum
inous writers, had an easy time
of it as compared to an ordinary
Alaska daily newspaper man.
All the stuff that Shakespeare
'wrote in his lifetime would not
make ropy for a daily paper for
a month.
The Alaska editor lias lo write
about six columns of news, semi
news. editorials and i|uasi-editor
ials. jokes, obituaries, truths, un
truths. forgeries, roasts and 1am
basls. per day. Thai is tlti col
umns per week or I 4 1 columns a
month, which is more than most
of Ihe high brows have written in
a lifetime. Multiply that liy the
days in a year ami by the years
in a decade ami (lie public will get
some idea; of the meaning of Ihe
word “strenuosity.”
Some of the Alaska, editors are
willing to admit that Shakespeare
put a few more comas into his
writings than we do, and that he
polished off his sentences with
bigger words than is possible for
us lo take the time lo look up
in the dictionaries, Imt for the
amount of words used and for the
reckless manner in which they
arc handled. Hill hain’t go! noth
ing on us.
The literal lire of Bacon is best
understood by the Alaskan editor.
Thai constitutes about all the
food that gels into his thoughts,
and system.

Evans was arrested here wit It j
Urquehart a lew years ago, hut
was released and both ordered In;

When their rooms were search- j
ed a dozen packs iif cards and ;
two holtlr's of fluid such as is;
used ill “shading” cards were |
fiuiiid among their effects. Since ;
