DESERTER'S
DDY FOUND
Fred Moraud Leaves Whaler Kar*
Ink at He* sciiell and Perishes
on an Ice floe.
By Cacle to Tlie Daily Gateway.
Sun Francisco, Nov. 18—Upon the
return of the whaler Karluk to this
port it was learned that the body of
Fred Moraud was found on an ice lloe
badly eaten by wild animals.
Moraud belonged to the crew of the
whaler Karluk owned and operated by
a company in this city. Last summer
he shipped on the whaler when she
went on her voyage to the Arctic
ocean. When the Karluk put in at
Herschell, Moraud deserted, taking
with him a quantity of provisions from
the ship’s supplies. Diligent search
was made for the missiner man, but no
traces of him were found till late in
the season, when a party of hunters
discovered his torn and mangled body
on a lloe of ice. >
It is reasonably certain that Moraud
had been hunting on the ice when it
broke up, and he was thus cut oil
from land and carried out to sea where
he perished.
