to the northward in Alitak Bay.
The next day, Sunday, the 12th,
this vessel anchored in Kemoff
Bay, which is about a mile and a
half from the village, and the
medical officer rendered aid to the
school teacher and brought off a
native named Evan Constantine,
suffering from periappendiceal ab
scess. The school teacher stated
that the children in the village
were suffering with conjunctivitis,
and in the afternoon medicine was
sent to her by the ship’s boat to
alleviate this trouble.
‘‘On Tuesday, the 14th, the Tal
lapoosa arrived in Kodiak and all
of the Chirikof party went ashore
except the native with the broken
leg, who was taken to Seward for
hospitalization.
“When the Chirikof party was
picked up they only had beef and
bread to eat. The beef was ob
tained, as is usual on the island,
by shooting a bull, but they had
so long been subsisting on this one
kind of meat that it had become
very unpalatable to them. Their
bread was made from flour the last
of which was a year old and was
wormy and buggy. In order to
make bread they had to use three
or four times the normal amount
of yeast. The coffee was used up
within about a week of their ar-i
rival on Chirikof. They made bis
cuits out of baking soda, flour, tal
low and water, the tallow being
melted down from bull fat. They
used tallow for butter—or nothing.

heavy cigarette smokers, including
the two girls from Chicago, and
they were hard put to it to find
substitutes for cigarettes. They
ran out of tobacco on the 18th
of that month. They then began
trying substitutes, and finding
some tea three years old, which
was not useable as tea, they en
deavored to smoke that. They re
ported this substitute as tasting
like soap and smelling like the city
dump. Their next substitute for
cigarettes was dry powdered veast,
but this was given up at once. It
had an indescribably bad taste.
Musty hardtack found in the loft
of the cabin was likewise tried
and at once given up.
“The best substitute they dis
covered for cigarettes was alfalfa,
which had been left on the island
as horsefeed. Into the alfalfa
they rubbed mentholatum and dub
bed the product Chirikof Spuds.’
They told me that this was almost
passable as a smoke. However,
they ran out of mentholatum the
day before the Tallapoosa arrived.
FEW MATCHES LEFT
“The party was nearly out of
matches in the middle of
January, and then seriously began
to husband them. They would use
:>ne match in the morning to light
two fires, and thereafter use the
tires for lighting instead of any
more matches during the day.
They had one penny box of match
5S left when they were rescued
“The matter of ammunition was
approaching a serious point. It
ivas necessary to be armed in
walking across the island, as there
are numerous bulls in the cattle
herd and they are quite ready to
charge anyone on foot. They had
)nly 20 rounds of ammunition left
and had begun to break down
hotgun charges and melt the pel
ets into slugs big enough to kill
i bull and thus maintain their
neat supply.
“With the highly unbalanced diet
ind total lack of vegetables in the
atter part of their stay, they foijnd
hemselves hungry no matter how
nuch bull beef and musty bread
hey ate.”

KETCHIKAN BROADCAST
RECEPTION EXCELLENT
The Ketchikan broadcast station
programs and news reports are be
coming increasingly popular here,
the reception being extra good.
Often, the 9 o’clock program is
“drowned” out by a California sta
tion but generally the Ketchikan
announcers pleasant voice comes
through clear and distinct.
The full half-hour news program
generally begins promptly at five
or 10 minutes past 9 o’clock and
often another news report is an
nounced at 11 p. m.
Through newspapers of this dis
trict of the Territory, considerable
publicity is given the railroad belt.
F. P. Cook, aged 80, a resident
of Juneau since 1911, died in that
city yesterday. He was a well
known prospector in that area.
