(By Special Correspondent)
After establishing a record for
winter traveling in the stormy wa-;
ters of Bering sea from Unalaska
to Attu, the brave little Eunice, op
erated by the Alaska Commercial
company, came to grief March 11,
two days out from Unalaska, when
she broke her tail shaft, injuring
the rudder, thus becoming totally
j disabled.
The Eunice is in command of
Captain Andrew Nelson, one of the
best, if not the best, navigators we
have covering the Aleutian islands.
The Eunice left Unalaska March 9 ;
I for Atka, but when going through
; Amukta Pass this accident hap
I pened and were it not for the able
! seamanship of the captain and a
1 providential northeast wind which
| kept steady for five days, she
| might now be at the bottom of the
i sea with all on board, or drifting, a
| derelict, down into the South Pa
I cific to perish without water. In- !
! stead, by using their small sail at
I the most propitious moments and
; putting out the sea anchor at oth
er times, she slowly zig-zagged un
! til after four days of peril she fi
l nally drifted helplessly into Atka
; harbor, landing up against a high
rock wall where anchors were
dropped and a small dory was
launched to find its way to the
native village. They were sighted
; by some of the villagers, and power
boats put out to meet them, and
the Eunice was slowly towed into
| safety, with crew and passengers
j none the worse for their experi
! ence except suffering from the re
I suits of the nervous strain of the
past four days, not knowing the
moment when they might strike a
submerged rock or drift on to
some villainous looking reef in a
storm.
Since there is no means of com
j munication with any of the islands
j except Kanaga, Unalaska was not
1 made aware of the fact that any
i thing was wrong. In fact it has
| come to be believed that nothing
| could go wrong with the “battle
ship” Eunice, as she was appro
priately called. But after she be
came 10, 15, 20 days overdue, wires
started going back and forth in
an attempt to get assistance to
make a search and the Cutter Tal
lapoosa was dispatched from Ju
neau post haste.
It is expected, upon arrival, the
Talapoosa will continue on to Atka
and tow the disabled Eunice back
to Unalaska.
The U.S.S. Swallow arrived April
13 with a crew of about 21 men to
begin construction of a large
apartment house for the families
at the naval radio station at Dutch
Harbor. This work will probably
take about four months to com
plete, at which time Dutch Harbor
will have a very handsome build
ing on a well-chosen site with a
commanding view of its surround
ings.
The codfishing schooner Beulah,
operated by the Alaska Salmon
company, is on her way up to Un
alaska and should arrive here not
later than May 10. She will be an
chored here for the summer and if
all goes well will depart at the end
of the season with a capacity load
of 1,000 tons of our good, fat Aleu
tian island codfish.
The Bristol bay canneries have
closed their doors to any but regis
tered resident fishermen and those
from the States who have been
previously employed by them. So
this codfishing seems to be the on
ly real source of income for the
dozens of fishermen here who have
been looking forward all winter to
their usual employment in Bris
tol bay.
And thus, on his way continues
Old Man Depression, priding him
self on the thoroughness of his
work. One wonders where he gets
all his energy as he whirls his far
reaching arm, not even missing
this one of our most far-flung
points on the globe.
Mr. A. H. Proctor, agent for the
Alaska Commercial company, felt
he had just cause for celebration
upon his safe return from his un
pleasant experience on the Eunice,
and so gave a stag party April 14,
in honor of the officers of the U.
S. S. Swallow, at which the follow
ing gentlemen were present: Lieu
tenant Commander Warris, Lieu
tenant Vensel, Inspector of Radio
Stations; Dr. Hubbard and Lieu
tenant Morgan, G- R. Gardner, Dr.
A. W. Wilson, Donald Ross, A. J.
Armstrong and Durell Finch.
Rev. D. I. Hotovitzky of Belkof- .
sky was a passenger on the Starr,
arriving at Unalaska April 15. He I
will return on this same trip of
the Starr, but finds the time all too
short to visit his many friends, as
well as to attend to important
school and village matters, which
are the main object of his visit. Fr.
Hotovitzky is a man who has force
and energy enough to really do
things and no one can accuse him
of sitting with hands folded “wait
ing for something to turn up.”
While he rules with a firm hand he
stands for right and morality and
accomplishes much for the best
welfare of his parishioners.
Let us not pass lightly over such
pieces of information as the epi
demic of measles in that small
village of Perryville, resulting in
nine deaths. One is prone to read
these items concerning sickness
and remark: “My, that’s awful,”
and then pass on, looking for
something more pleasant and
thrilling. We do not stop to think
what this means to those whose
work it is to relieve the suffering
and dying people during these epi
demics.
To many of us measles sounds
like a trifling illness that all of us
should have and “get it over with,”
but it should be remembered there
are many who have never had
measles and there are many who
have died as the result of an at
tack of measles. For this reason
each traveler has a moral obliga
tion not to expose the people in our
isolated native villages to any
form of contagious disease.
Mr. and Mrs. Halfton Burgh,
teachers at the village of Perry
ville for the office of Indian Af
fairs, should receive great credit
for their efforts at relief work. Du
ring the height of the epidemic
they had 80 people down with the
disease at one time. This means
a complete cessation of all ordina
ry activities. It means that the
making of fires, feeding the sick,
attempting to protect those who
have not yet been exposed to the
disease, organizing the few re
maining on their feet into helpers
to perform the ordinary every-day
chores for the sick ones, rests with
the teachers, and taxes their
strength and endurance bevond
the physical limit.
