THE BAZAAR
GRAVE FEARS ARE
FEIT FOR SAFETY
OF 2 S WARD MEN]
It is now believed that Ben Sweasy and “Bill” Weaver
were drowned in the recent storm which swept around Ke
nai Peninsula or else are marooned at some place down the
coast.
Friends of both are today inclined to believe that the i
two hunters are dead, although they have hopes other
Y> ifcU.
The grub basket the two took with them, and a
smashed dory, which is thought to lie theirs, have been
found. These are the recent developments in the case and'
these incidents called for the sending out of a searching!
party which left this morning.
Last night U. S. Deputy Marshal Mossman, at An-i
chorage, wired U. S. Deputy Marshal Evans, of Seward,
asking if Weaver had gone hunting from Seward and
stating that a grub basket marked “Weaver and Revell”
had been found on Elizabeth Island and brought to An
chorage .
When the Evans arrived in port last night Mrs.
Whorf reported that W. T. Ludy had carried information
to Seldovia that a badly smashed dory had been found and
its description answered that of the one the two missing:
men left in when they went hunting.
These two facts were sufficient for Marshal Evans to
immediately arrange for a searching party.
H. 0. Roberts, of the San Juan Fishing & Packing
Co., placed the gas boat New Josie at the command of Mr.
MUSHERS FROM
OPHIR COMING
OUTTO SEWARD!
Mushers are hitting the trail from
Ophir and ten were aboard the Ad
miral Evans last night. C. Sankey
was one of the ten who came over the
trail and he reported that the travel
ling was line, just sullicient snow on
the ground to permit good time be
ing made. The Kirby brothers were
also in the party and J. Kirby reports
that ;',0 more are now coming out over
the trail and should reach Anchorage
in time to catch the Mariposa. If they
do not, they will come to Seward and
catch the first steamer from here. The
mushers report an excellent season in
the interior and splendid clean-ups.

SOLLY GOING SOI TH
C. A. Solly, agent of the Pacific
Steamship Co., at Anchorage, accom
panied by his wife, was on the Ad
miral Evans last night for Seattle.

Seattle until his return north. He
stated that business had been excep
tionally good this season on Cook In-,

The Lodge of Elks at Juneau took

Evans to use as lie thought best in determining the fate
of the hunters.
This morning the New Josie left for a trip down along
the coast. Capt. Harry Swartzen was in command of the
gasboat; Engineer Giliis and Charlie Einsmiller were also
aboard, the latter going along as he is familiar with ail
the nooks and bays between here and Ialick Bay and fur
ther. Provisions and other supplies are aboard the New
Josie to last for ten or twelve days.
Sweasy and Weaver left Seward for Ialick Bay on
October 15th with supplies to last about two weeks. Their
boat was a dory with an Evinrude. Yesterday, Mr. Evans
began to fear for the safety of the two men, as they were
long overdue, and he made inquiries as to the feasibility
of a searching party. The receipt of the information of
the finding of the men’s grub basket, and the further re
port of the finding of a smashed dory, quickly led to
Mr. Evans’ desire to net and the searching party today
was the result.
