Several oldtlmers, some of whom
have been prospecting on the Chicka

very much interested in a proposed
road up the riiver to open up the min

A ‘mirage’ was responsible for the
wreck of the steamship Catala, of the
Union Steamship company, in British
Columbia waters, according to a Can
adian investigating board. The offi
cers in charge of the vessel were ex
onerated from blame.

After struglging for 11 years, under
what physicians declared to be here
ditary inflictions, the adopted daught
er of Mr. and Mrs. George F. West,
of Ketchikan, died recently in the
Southeastern Alaskan city.
t The complete story of the recent
. deaths by drowning of four people at
Akutan last month, news of which
. was published at that time, was re
ceived by The Gateway in yesterday’s
mail from the Westward.
• Intense sorrow prevails over the!
. little village of Akutan by the tragic
• death of Mr. Ole Anderson, Mr. and
, Mrs. Mike Speacns, and Mrs. E. B.
! Elliott, who were drowned wiiile re-j
I i
j turning to the whaling station after
I attending the Christmas entertain
i ment given by the pupils of the
school.
After the program refreshments
were served and the guests left for
home about 11:45 p. m. Owing to
the down-ponr of rain, they were all
clothed in heavy oilskins and high
rubber boots.
While going across, and judged to
be about 200 feet from shore, a heavy
gust of wind caused a wave to break
over the stern swamping the boat and
capsizing it throwing the five occu
pants—Mr. Elliott was saved—into
the deep and icy water. Being so
firmly buckled four were unable to
save themselves.
The accident happened about 12:45
a. m. on December 25. Mr. Elliott
reached the village about 1:30 a. m.
and immediately the natives began
to search for the bodies all of which
were recovered before 11:30 a. m.
As there wks no way of communi
cating with other points and no pos
sible chance of securing the services
of an undertaker the bodies were
prepared for burial and they were
laid to rest on a little sunny hill
side just east of the village, a pretty
place overlooking the entrance to
Akutan harbor and the village.
Mr. Anderson was born February
14, 1888, at Solor, Norway. He had
made one trip back to Norway in
1911 in the interest of his property
holdings there and upon his return
took out his first papers. Last July
he became an American citizen. He
was associated with the American
Pacific Whaling company for the last
> 10 years as an oil chemist and by
his exemplary habits, his genial dis
position, was beloved by all.
Mr. Mike Sperms was a native of
Nova Scotia and was employed as
foreman, this being his second year

like an arrow from a bow
Buick for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you've
driven a Buick for 1928.

•100,000 CARGO OF FURS
It is reported the steamer Starr,
which returned to port yesterday |
from the Westward, brought in ship
ments of furs valued at $100,000.
Attorney Harry F. Morton, of An
chorage, who has been a business vis-'
itor in the city for the last week, de
parted yesterday for his offices.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Delaney, newly
weds, left yesterday for their home
in Anchorage.
i
at Akutan. In previous years he had
acted in the same capacity for the
company in Bay City and Aberdeen.
When he was retained as winter man
at the Akutan 'plant he sent for his
wife to come and spend the season
with him. She arrived on the last trip
of the S. S. Alameda and was only
three months there when she came to
her untimely end.
Mrs. E. B. Elliott, wife of the radio
operator and assistant foreman, was
born at White Salmon, Oregon, and
was 21 years of age and a bride of
but 15 months. When the whaling
season dosed and the crew left she
came to join her husband. Mrs. El
liott was a lovable woman and by her
sunny disposition and true Christian
motives, was endeared fcy all; she
was in the bloom of womanhood
when she answered the “Great Sum
mons” and obeyed.
—and they rest on a sloping
grassy knoll while the wind unceas
ingly sings a requiem over their
graves.
THANKS TO THE LADY
One of these days the vase which
was carried away last summer from
a local plot of soil wherein was inter
red the remain's of “Blackie” —Juet
a dog —, will probably be sent back
to Seward soon from a Southern
State. Clippings from The Gateway
eventually found their way into the
hands of the lady who took the vase,
unthinkingly, and this paper is ad
vised in due time the vase will arrive.
Chocolate and vaniUa iee
cream. Schallerer’s Alaska
iou read it in The Gateway first.
