The Admiral Watson Southbound connects with
Wednesday’s train on dates shown, sailing at
9 p. m.
Agent Seward.
Stranded on the beach for six days,
clad in oilskins and rubber boots, and
subsisting on fish caught in a near
by river, and on a sack of flour, is the
story brought to Seward today bv
rhe nine members of the crew of the
I
I halibut schooner Alaska, wrecked on
| Xodb'k Island February M) The nmu
j ■•>,c passengers on the Admiral Wat
j cam i n route to Seattle.
! The Alaska, one of ihr finest hal
ibut vessels ever to come to Alaskan
waters and valued at $30,00^, struck
a rock, in a rain-fog and heavy gi’e,
East of Goo«e Island, a rocky coast..
The bottom was ripped off and 3m
mjdmte’.y the bout fibed with water,
tno mew buctv getting in time
Every bit of personel belongings,
oven to their money was lost. As
the tide came in the boat was lifted
1 of the rock and floated inshore where
it sank 15 minutes later,
i Then for six days the crew went
| thru tortures of the dammed!
; Miserably wet and cold, keeping
warm the best they could against the
?»5netrating bite of the winds, they
finally discovered the hut of an old
Indian who gladly gave them his only
sack of flour. From this flannel
cakes were made, supplemented by
fish caught in a river. At the end of
| the sixth day they decided to strike
! out overland for Kayuck. clad as they
were, in their oilskins and heavy
boots. They arrived worn out, at
i
• the Indian vilage of about 15 inhabi
tants, and were picked up by the
i schooner Olive which brought them
l]
I to Kodiak where they 'awaited the ?.r
[.! rival of the S. S. Watson.
The Alaska, a vessel 84 feet Pi
!
i length, was but three vears old. It
i
: v as insured for $15,000. Captain Con
•rad Peterson, the skipper, is remain
ing gear. Andrew Jorgenson, a broth
endeavor to salvage some of the fish
ing gear. An drey Jorgenson, a broth
er to Captain Peterson, and a mem
ber of the crew, will continue on to
Seattle where the Captain will later
join him.
The first thing on the program at
yesterday’s well attended meeting of
j the Seward Chamber of Commerce,
■ was the welcomed extended by Pres
ident Leon Urbach to two members
who have just returned home follow
ing extended visits in the States and
Europe, Elwyn Swetmann, proprieter
of the Seward Drug company, and
Charles Lechner, proprietor of the
Seward Machine Shops. '
Mr. Swetmann when called upon
told of his trip to the States. He said
Spokane was booming and fine new
buildings were going up; that the en
tire coast was fast building up and
that all the citi# he visited on the
coast appeared to be prosperous with
structures going up everywhere.
Mr. Lechner dwelled on his jour
ney to Europe. New York seemed to
be thriving although he had been in
formed that conditions were' rather
quite. But no place looks as good to
him as the old home town of Seward
even though other cities may out
glitter it from an exterkm standpoint.
A degree of divorce was granted, at
Anchorage, in the case of Gabrielson
vs. Gabrielson.
