HCH. WHITE MOUNTAIN HOLD
TO SIHKHIAX GOV’T
Sam Malsagow and Jack Mitchell
returned to Nome during the week
from Siberia after over two months
spent along the Siberian Coast.
According to Jack Mitchell who
was captain of the sch«H»ner White
Mountain on her trip to Siberia, the
schooner was sold to the Russian
Volunteer Fleet for a large price,
as that Government is in need or
small craft and are unable to obtain
the class of small boats desired.
The White Mountain was outfitt
ed in Nome by A. Polet and Sam
Malsagow in July this year and
sailed for Sibeiia July 29th on a
trading cruise. Arriving in Whal
ing on July 30th the White Moun
tain remained in that port until
August 3rd. and then sailed for
North Cape, arriving at Cape Bill
ing the schooner enrountered Ice in
such large amounts she was forced
to tdrn back.
Twelve miles East of North Cape
the White Mountain met the Russ
ian Volunteer Fleet ship. Stavapol.
The Captain of the Stavapol inform-!
ed Mitchell and Malsagow. the Si-1
berian government wished to pur-j
chased the White Mountain, and
both boats then got underway for
Great Cape BaronofT. The White
Mountain arrived In BaronofT 14
hours ahead of the Stavapol. on ac
count of the Stavapol being of a
deeper draught and having to stand
out to sea further than the White
Mountain.
When the Stavapol arrived in j
BaronofT. thru some accident or mis- j
judgement, she went on the beach j
and had to have a large amount of |
her cargo discharged before she |
could again be floated.
Mitchell and Malsagow took thp!
White Mountain up the Kolyma
River while in Siberia, and upon
their return with a pilot from the
Kolyma River district, the White j
Mountain was turned over to the
Soviet Government.
According to Mitcheil the Soviet
government informed Malsagow
that any price placed on the White
Mountain would be paid by the
government. The Soviet officials
were very” considerate in their bar
gaining for the schooner, and ac
cording to Mitchell, treated the par
ty going over on the White Moun
! tain with all consideration possible.
Mitchell is loud in his praise for the
present goveriyuent and states the
government is a very stable one.
The Russian Volunteer fleet ship, i
Stavapol returned Mitchell and Mal
sagow to Whaling, where the schoo- j
tier York was encountered. the
schooner York transported the two
men to York and there the small j
schooner went on the beach. Mit
chell proceeded to Cape Prince of I
Wales and obtained a skin boatj
with natives and returning to York j
tlon from York to Teller, where the
two men to«»k passage to Nome on
the seh»*>ner Nokatak.
