■OWING DETAILS
SINKING OF INK
HIK’ DELATED
(Continued from Page One)
This bay offers no protection
being full of rocks and reefs. High
waves swept her decks washing
many overboard including Mrs.
Startkus and her baby. Larry Step
etin, her brother, was also washed
overboard, but managed to grasp
his siter and climb back twice, but
the third time she was lost to him
and he finally struggled ashore
more dead than alive, with the
scene of the struggles of his lost
sister and her baby and the hor
ror of it all, forever imprinted on
his mind.
TRAPPED IN GALLEY
Two others managed to get
ashore without serious injury, but
apparently that was all. They saw
Bishop Antonin being swept
ashore and then rushed out to sea
again as again the waves ran
mountain high—and saw him noj
more. Captain Nelson was last •
seen clinging near the top of the
mast and then finally washed
away. Many were trapped in the!
galley which had only one door.
Captain Stankus was dragged
ashore by the three survivors but
probably from a combination of
grief, shock and injury, was una
ble to recover himself, but sank
down and died almost immediately.
Such and many more incidents
of this harrowing disaster can be
told—but enough. The only ray of
brightness comes with the news
that searchers from Umnak went
to the scene of the wreck several
days later and found Bishop Anto
nin alive, but in a very serious con
dition with feet frozen and legs
badly frosted, unable to walk.
ALIVE BUT HELPLESS
This information was relayed to
Unalaska by the SS Starr when
she got to Umnak February 13.
Upon hearing this A. H. Proctor,
agent for the Alaska Commercial
Company sent urgent wires re
questing headquarters to give
Captain Boe, of the Bureau of
Fisehries vessel “Penguin” permis
sion to rush to the scene of the.
CANDY HEARTS, fresh from
Haas for VALENTINE’S DAY, Feb.
14th, at the Alaska Shop.
wreck in an effort to save the life
of Bishop Antonin and at 10 p. m.
of February 13 the “Penguin” left
with Dr. A.' W. Wilson, the Office
of Indian Affairs physician at Un
alaska, aboard. They found Bishop
Antonin still alive, but helpless
and suffering from exposure. It
is believed that only amputation
of part of one heel will be neces
sary. This is good news among all
the distress and suffering.
ATE KELP, DEAD BIRD
The three men who were able
to get to Umnak out of this dis
aster were Finnegan Ermeloff and
George Dushkin of Umnak, and
Larry Stepetin of Unalaska. These
men had to walk for four days to j
Umnak from the bay where the 1
disaster occurred, living on kelp !
and one lone goose they discover- j
ed in a fox trap half-eaten, but j
it was good food to them in their i
starving condition. The names of !
the five Umnak boys who were lost J
is not known at this writing. *
Deacon Mike Tutiakoff leaves a 1
wife and five little children. John i
Galateanoff leaves a wife and
three children—Mrs. Galacteanoff
also lost at this time two brothers «
and a nephew. i
While Captain Andrew Nelson '
was unmarried he leaves brothers J
and sisters in Seattle and was a ■
nephew of the late Andrew Gros- a
void. Everyone here will miss his J
happy face and good heart. *
