NOME SCHOONER FAILS TO LAND
AT ST LAWRENCE ISLAND
Caught in continuous stormy weath
er almost from the time <>f her depar
ture from Nome early last week, the
schooner Ukiwuk, which was sent to
St Lawrence Island by <ieoige R Gosh'
aw and others with a large load of
supplies to assist in relieving a short
age believed to exist there, was forced
to return Wednesday night after fail
ing to land on the island. The vessel
encountered an experience of the ut
most severity and was at one time In
such dire danger that it was found
necessary to jettison a Large part of
the cargo to escape swamping in the
heavy seas. After arriving off the is
land. although able to come within
hailing distance, all attempts to land
were futile because of wind and heavy
seas. According to those on board
the 1'kiwok the schooner Unalga was
also lying off the island but was un
able to land either Mr. and Mrs.
Burns, the government school teachers
who were taken to Unalaska by the
Bear, or the government supplies,
which were taken off the coast guard
vessel by the Unalgn.
After lingering around the island
for some days the weather finally
became so violent taut the Ukiwak .*■
said to have weathered it only with
difficulty. After enduring ;he struggle
us long as possible, Duffy O’Connor,
master of the schocner. decided to re
turn to Nome. At the time of do*
