FIFTEEN YEAR-OLD

young Krudoff, who had remain
ed on deck, played his part with
courage and zeal of a true hero,
the name with which he should
be forever endowed. Finding his
shipmates all imprisoned behind
doors that had jammed in the
sprung frame work, he seized a
club and battered down the ob
struction. Then with the final
plunge of the wreck he was hurled
with the others into the churning
water.
SIX REACHED SHORE

to miraculously avoid being dashed
to death on the jagged rocks—
half-dozen out of 15—after a bitter
! struggle and valiant effort were
able to reach the beach aiive:
John Stankus, Archbishop Anton

three other natives who were with

boat’s anchor line carried away.
“The fact that they were able to
get ashore was far from ending
their trying ordeal. There was no
shack or hurt, however, humble,
wherein they might seek shelter
for their tired bodies. No dry
matches with which to start a fire
and warm their aching limbs. Tlw
closest relief to be found was at
the village of Umnak, which lay
some t»0 miles down the rugged,
pathless coast.
‘ About midway, they found an
empty, dc-serted barabara, some
times used by trappers. But the
survivors still found themselves in
dire straits. Having rested and
regained some of their strength,
the three natives started or. the
long trek to Umnak, where they
arrived three days later. It was
not till the next day that the vil
lagers heard from them the stir
ring tale of their adventure, and
were able to dispatch a party to
investigate. Believing all else had
perished, and being overwrought
and weak from the severe strain,
I will perhaps account for the na
j tives’ delay in reporting immedi
| ately on their arrival home.
HEAVILY GARBED
“For what transpired meanwhile,
on that desolate beach nine miles
to the northeast,we have the Arch
| bishop’s own story, which takes us
back to that dreadful scene of ter
ror. subsequent to the wreck.
“Heavily garbed as he was in
priestly robes, it is a mystery, even
to himself, how he was able to
swim to shore thru such turbulent
waters. Spent from exertion, he
lay on the beach in despair. Tnere
George Krudoff saw him, and
staggering to his side, helped him
crawl to a drier spot, away from
the lashing surf.
“Among the fragments of wreck
age that drifted ashore the youth j
found a crate of oranges, and these
he dragged with feeble effort to
the prostrate Archbishop. From a
bundle of water-soaked fur he se
lected several skins and after
wringing them out, fashioned a
bed on the tundra, hoping it
might offer some warmth and pro- j
tection to the older man.
YOUTH COLLAPSED
“Then, somehow, he rallied hh
fast waning strength, and taking
three oranges, set out on the hard
hike to where he knew was the
barabara. The rocky beach, fes

BURIED IN FAMILY PLOT
I The remains of Andrew Gros
vold, pioneer Westward resident
who died in Seward last month
after an illness of many months
and whose body was sent to Sand
Point on the last voyage of the SS
Starr, were laid to rest in the
family plot at Sanak. Services
■were conducted by Ernest Bailey,
Sanak school teacher.
A "YOKE” ON PETE
Capt. Pete Sather, master of the
Nuka Bay Transportation Co.,
speedboat Rolph III, wdiose never
fading brilliant smile shines like
the morning sun, was temporarily
wiped off Wednesday afternoon
when a case of eggs got the upper
hand and made a break for liber
ty. Five dozen spilled onto the
floating dock as he was carrying
them down the gangway. “Well,
that’s a yoke on me,” he was heard
to mutter.
tooned as it is with lofty preci
pices and perpendicular cliffs, is
in itself a test for the most fit,
and proved too much for the va
liant lad. After having traversed
over half the distance he finally
collapsed from exhaustion. He lay
with his head pillowed on his arm
as tho in peaceful sleep, and it
was thus they found him. his body
succumbed to fatigue. His trail,
leading back, bore mute evidence
that bitter indeed were the hard
ships he had endured. His zig
zagging footprints led to the many
places where he had been forced
to rest, only to rise again, stagger
about, and with unsteady and fal
tering steps, struggle onward.
Scattered, far apart, were found
the orange peelings.
MUTILATED CORPSE
‘•The searchers found Archbishop
Antonin, who suffered a frozen |
foot. It was later reported by the
M. S. Penguin’s doctor that the heel |
would have to be amputated to j
avoid gangrene from spreading. i
“John Stankus’ body lay some i
distance further dowm the beach, i
where, overcome by weariness, he J
had fallen asleep and froze while ’
he slumbered. On a little ways, J
the naked mutilated corpse of |
Captain Nelson sprawled where |
the surf had washed it. A missing [
leg testified that the fox and car- |
nivorous birds had already been at !
work on the lifeless form.’" 5
