HUNDREDS OF CHINESE
REMOVED FROM VESSEL
OV LIGHTHOUSE BOAT
The lighthouse tender Cedar, Caof.
J. W. Lcadbetter, covered itself with
considerable credit in its rescue of
300 odd souls from the sailing vessel
Star of Faukland, recently wrecked
in Unimak Pass.
At the time the first radio was re
ceived from the Star of Faukland. at
11:45 in the morning in which mes
sage it was stated the ship had
struck the rocks-156 Meridian- the
Cedar was discharging freight at
Scotch Cap. At 11:56 Captain Lead
better was under wav to the scene
of the wreck.
The Faukland was in bad shape
when the Cedar arrived at 2:48, fori
the lee side was completely under I
water Steaming up close Captain
Leadbetter began transferring the
passengers of a dozen different nat
ionalities, and at 6 had taken off
300 of them with the Cedar’s launch.
In the meantime the cutters Haida
and Unalga came up and completed
taking off the remaining hundred.
All the passengers and crew were
transfered to the cannery vessel
Arctic which in turn took them to
the plant in Brstol Bay, their desti
nation.
The Captain of the Faukland, and
eight members of his crew, stayed
on her until all were off. The cap
tain’s name could not be recalled
but it was said this was his first
wreck he has had in his 35 years as
roaster. Fog, and darkness, were
held responsible for with just a few
feet more of clearance -way he would
have cleared the rocks, on the tack.
If there were any suicides they
were not officially reported, and a
doubt exists, Captain Leadbetter
said, that any occured for he heard
nothing authentic about them. Thj
report was a number of Chinese had
tilled themselves. There was prac
tically no disorder the captain and
crew' displaying splendid efficiency.
One Chinaman died a natural death
and one Kanaga jumped overboard
; but was brought back on board. The
Star of Faukland is thought to be
a total wreck.
The Cedar departed early this
morning for Ketchikan.
Mrs. George W. Albrecht was
among those arriving in Seward to
day on the steamer Yukon from
Seattle. Mrs. Albrecht re-'des in
Fairbanks and has been in the States
for some time.
The vessels in port are Marion, As
trid, Westerallen and Maude.
