CAPTAIN IIEINIE BERGER LEFT
SELDOVIA SATURDAY MORN
ING WITH NO WORD SINCE
In view of the fact that a great
storm raged Tuesday night off the
mouth of Cook Inlet and Shelikof
Strait, and that the Motor Ship
Discoverer left Seldovia Saturday
morning for Seward and no word
I: is since been heard, grave fears
felt for the safety of Captain
Heinie Berger, his crew and what
rs he might have had.
Capt. Berger win d the Seward
Gateway from Seldovia last Satur
day that he would arrive in Seward
Sunday noon and figured on get
m -: '' '-ida;. Ro further
word being received, O. B. Millctt
who has been waiting here to be
taken to Iliamna, wired C. M.
Chambers at Seldovia yesterday
and received a wire this morning
saying that the Discoverer had left
there Saturday morning for this
port.
Tha matter was*taken up with U.
S. Commissioner Curtis Morford to
invoke the law of the Territory to !
send out a searching vessel to look
along the coast between Seward
and Seldovia and to look into the
possible harbors, and if no word is
received here by 5 o’clock today, in
structions will be sent to the U. S.
Commissioner at Seldovia directing
him to charter a vessel from that
port, as it is thought there are
more available boats there and that
the search could be conducted bet
ter from that end.
The Discoverer was stuck in the
mud recently on the flats of the
Kusilof River, but Capt. Berger was
evidently able to get her off again
after staying with the problem for
more than two weeks.
Rumors have been rife about
town that he might have proceeded
to Iliamna and that he had been
ordered back to Anchorage to pick
up mail but no confirmation of
t hire reports could be obtained. It
•"as also stated by Babcock and
Downey, mine operators of Nuka
Bay that they had an agreement
with Capt. Berger to call in there
for them October 10th and that he
might have stayed there to ride out
the bad weather outside.
However, these reports are not
reassuring to Capt. Berger’s friends
who fear that he may have piled up
on the rocks along the dangerous
Coast to the Southward along the
Kenai Peninsula where the storms
raged to such an extent that prac
tically all fishing craft were driven
from the seas, and where several of
them came to grief.

j ILENE DISABLED OFF POUT
LOCK BY HUGE WAVE
BREAKS HOUSING
A southeaster that swept the
seas from the mouth of Resurrec
tion bay to the westward of Ko
diak and drove practically all hal
ibuters from the banks and near
ly brought disaster to several and
almost wrecked the Ilene of Ketchi- j
kan, Capt. Matt Madson, owner j
which limped into the Port of Sew
ard with a disabled rudder and
!stove in the pilot house.
She was hit by a wave off
i Portlock that carried away the
I rudder and nearly took the above
I deck structure. Luckily the boat
was far off-shore and drifted 10
; hours before the rudder could be
fixed and the engines got going
again after pumping out the wash
from the hold.
The Ilene has a crew of nine
and was just getting on the banks
j when the storm came up. The
j boat put into this port for repairs
which will take several days. Other
halibuters are in for shelter from
' the worst storm in years.
Fred Everett, chief teward on
the river steamer Jacobs, of the
Alaska Railroad fleet, arrived in
town last night on his way to
Juneau where he will spend a few
| weeks.
Frank Gleason arrived in town
i for a few days vacation from Jack
j Hanson’s bridge crew at Willow.
