GASBOAT UNIVERSE
WRECKED; PIT CREW
ARRIVES'IN SEWARD
TERRIFIC GALE SWE'PT BOAT;
HIGH ON BEACH; CLIMB
BLUFF, TRAPPERS CABIN
The gasboat Universe, owned by.;
J. Shellenberger of Wahington, D. C., j
operated by Erskine & Arrntrong, and |
which left Kodiak on November -_
Cherikoff Island, known as the grave
yard of the North-Pacific, was totally
wrecked an November 22 when blown
ashore in a northwest gale. The crew
was rescued on December 4 by Captain
O. A. Johansen, veteran Alaskan mas
ter and navigator, of the S. S. Starr.
Captain Johansen was in search
of the boat, following an inquiry, and
on the evening of December 3 picked
up a light on the beach on the island.
The following morning the men were
rescued. Three of the crew, Hilbert
Anderson, Eric Dahlberg and H. Olaf
son, were left on the island but four
others, Randall Swenson, Chris Leite,
John Chya and E. L. Lynch, were
brought to Seward last night.
Cherikoff Island is 90 miles due
West of Kanatak. On their way to the
island the gasboat stopped at Alitak
on account of engine trouble then pro
ceeded to the island where they land,
ed. On November 22 a heavy northwest
gale cam eup and carried away both
anchors compelling the Universe to
put to sea in the gait.
About one hour offshore the boat
began to open up at the teams caus
ing loss of gasoline and oil; the ves
sel’s engines then stopped but were
,i - - ■> * ’
again- started vessel then putting
-J' *' \ ; ■' Ai *’ „•* &'• r *'
in toward the beach on the South end
under a high bluff. Upon arriving off
the shore the boat was caught by a
tremendous swell landing high on the
beach.
The men, who landed safely, had to
scale the bluff and go about 11 miles
to a trappers cabin, but only two of
them reached the cabin the others be
ing worn out by their struggles on the
water, the climb up the bluff and the
'exceedingly hard traveling through
the grass reaching up to their waists.
It is said theey could not have remain
ed on the beach overnight owing to
the freezing w'eather and accompany,
ing gale. Trappers at the cabin went
back over the route and brought in the
men who were having a hard time
'-'’■''el ng. Arriving at the cabin their
troubles were ended fr plenty f hot
awaited them and dry clothing.
In making the cabin the wind blew
with such fury that at times the men
were literally blown off their feet.
The next morning the S. S. Starr
was at first taken for a coast guard j
cutter sent out in search for the men.;
However they recalled no cutters did
patrol duty in those waters during the
winter stormy season but only in the
summer time. As the steamer came
closer in it was recognized as the
steamer Starr.
The Starr took those aboard who
wanted to come in. The others will
come in later. The gasboat was a 30
ton seine boat and was being used to
carry trappers to and from the island.
