In a letter received by Judge C.
W. Thornton, on the last mail, was
the sad news of the death, at the
County Hospital at Seattle, of J.
L. (“I)oc.”) Wesley, an old
timer of the Nome district. Mr.
Wesley left Nome on the last boat
last Fall for the outside, as he
was getting pretty feeble. Mr.
Wesley died the fore part of Aug
ust, last past. He came to the
Nome district from the Kotzebue
Sound country about July or Aug
ust of the year 1899, and has been
a permanent resident of the camp
ever since that date. Mr. Wesley
had a host of friends in this sec
tion, and was regarded as a solid,
substantial and material element
in the early days of the camp, and
his departure on the last, lone trail
will cause much sadness to many
an old timer who knew him well.

i stated in an interview with the
i Nugget the following interesting
| story of the trip north:
On the 16th. of August we pro
• ceded from Wainwright to Point
Barrow. The first day out we
found that tlie ice extended clear
to the bench and it was Impossible
’o proceed further We were de
layed until the 1 Pth., when we
t »und an opportunity to get around
the edge of the ice pnc,k. finally
leached abreast of the- wrecked
motorship Arctic, being about one
Mile distant. Met Teddy Bear here
southbound. We then proceeded
Mr. Patmore, representing the
Hudson’s Bay Company, and the
Second Mate of the Lady Kinders
lc-y who made their way over the
ice to Barrow from the ship, short
ly after the vessel began to drift
and were unable to get aboard the
Kinderslev again: both men came
aboard the Boxer to consult about
organizing a relief expedition to
rescue the crew of the Kinderslev.
It was decided to employ some na
tives and a skin boat to use in the
ice. At 9 p. m.. took the relief
t arty aboard the Boxer and im
mediately proceeded to work the
vessel through the ice and fog
from Barrow station to village at
the Point, about nine miles to
northward. After getting the ves
sel behind the Point, started the
relief party out with two power
launches, supplies, etc., to establish
camp at Point Tangent. 35 miles
cast of Barrow, where it was ex
pected tlie Kinderslev crew would
1« found on the edge of the ice l
pack, as they had wired the Boxer \
that they were then leaving the |
Kinderslev. The relief party con- j
tinned the search for two days '
but were unable to find the crew ,
anywhere, due to the fact that the
Kinderslev crew found It. impossi- i
1 le to proceed to the edge of the ^
ice due to the leads and broken •
condition of the ice. After they !
returned to the Kinderslev. they
started the engines working again j
and wired the Boxer that they j
were forced to return to the ves
sel. and gave their position and \
siated that they were drifting fur- i
flier westward toward Barrow. % '
On August 30th. ice conditions '
being favorable, the "Boxer made a ]
dash in an effort to reach the
Kindersley and rescue the crew. !
and at 2:00 p. m. the Boxer ar
rived within six miles southeast j
f the Kinderslev. After both cap-1
t:iins talked by radio about the I
chances of the Kindersley getting
free. Captain Foellmer decided to
make one last desperate attempt i
! i » release the vessel from the ice
> :ip. He reported that the ice
•j which had been under the vessel
| 1 ad slipped away, and that there
• v-as a spuce of about SO feet of
j vater around the vessel. Sound
ings showed 90 fathoms of water
' and no bottom, liut could see loose
. i e some distance ahead. Captain
. Foellmer used all his power and
t very means but to no avail. Fin
ally, on August Mat. at eight
! "'red the Boxer that the ice had
; again enveloped the Kindersiey
, and was tightening. The captain
i then decided to abandon the ves
sel. On the second trip into the
Ice Captain Whitlam found ice con
i flit ions much worse and lost no
time in proceeding as far as pos
sible toward the crew of the strand
ed vessel and reached a narrow
lend extending 15 miles SSK front
Hie Hindu; ley. getting within 3 Vs
miles of the vessel. Due to the
eat danger of the lead closing in
on the Boxer, thev remained only
one hour before returning with the
crew. While on the way back to
Barrow, tin* lead closed the pas
sage twice and it was with some
difficulty that the Boxer finally
made her way out into open water.
Two hours were consumed in go
ing for the crew, but it took seven j
hours to make the return journey, j
and ail aboard the Boxer were j
much relieved when she arrived j
end anchored in open water off j
The following day the Hudson's;
Bay steamer Bayt-IBmo arrived at .
Barrow and relieved the Boxer of:
the Kindersley’s crew of twenty]
men. and sailed immediately for *
Vancouver. B. <C.
The Boxer then took aboard the i
27 members of the crew of the
wrecked Arctic and other passen
gers, including eight men of the!

cceded on Sept. 1st., at 9:00 p. m.

to, at Tin City. The Kindersiey |
