BELVEDERE CRUSHED
DY .ARCTIC ICE PACK
CHitched in the mighty grip of the
Arctic ice pack, the Seattle trading
Spooner Belvedere has been crushed
into a broken mass of Iron and tim
ber and is now either a shattered dere
lict borne with tlie vagarious lee or at
the bottom of the sea, according to
advices reaching CVome from the St.
I’aul radio station thlp morning.
The wreck occurred smne distance
off Cape Serge, Siberia. September 18.
News of the disaster was conveyed to
S'. I’aul in a message from P. W.
Alexander.representative of the Swen
son. Hibbard Company. of Seattle,
owners of the Belvedere, who Is sta
tioned at Anadyr. Siberia, stating that
he was in receipt of a message from
Captain flruenberg. commander of the
Ititssian steamer Stavarpol. now at
some point on the Northern coast of
Siberia, announcing that the American
schooner Belvedere was wrecked off
Cap.- Serge on the stated date. Capt.
flruenberg reported that no lives were
lost ami tin- crew was able to reach
shorn. The crevy was reported "as
walking to Hast Cape. Mr. Alexan
der. also requested that the Coast
fluarrl cutter Bear be notified and also
Customs Collector II. \V. .1. Heed and
It has been known here for several
days that the Belvedere was in a
precarious situation off the Siberian
coast. Messages from Mr. Alexander
to Customs Collector Bred last week
reported that the Belvedere,( an un
known American schooner, and the
Ititssian steamer Stavarpol1 were in the
ice off Kolyuchian Island, approxim
ately seventy five Guiles to the west
ward of Cape Serge! and were in dan-'
gcr o£ being frozen in. The Belvedere
had Is-en engaged intruding along the
Arctic coast of Siberia and was pre
sumably returning to Hast Cape at
that time. The message announcing
the destruction of the schooner indi
cates that the Belvedere was wrecked
before the first report of her predlcn*
I1 meat was received. The message re-!
porting the situation of the three ves- J
sels reached Nome September 22,
of the region claim not even the faint
est tradition indicates as having been
the site of an Eskimo village They
were discovered by a native assistant
of Mr Van Valin's while digging for
relics in ahillock. which Mr Van Valin
surmised for various reasons might
cover an ancient dwelling. Penetra
tion of the soil for a short distance
disclosed that the heap was indeed a
former native holm- and closer inves
tigation revealed that the frozen earth
contained the remains of human be
ings In.an excellent state of preserva
tion. Tools, implements and clothing
found on or near the bodies indicated
that the remains were those of a people
for older than the .present Eskimo
tribes. The elothing is !n many In
stances of a far different pattern and
the greater part of the implements
hear only remote resemblance to those
used by the natives nt the present time
i’pwnrd of eighty bodies were found in
the ancient village, together with a
wide assortment of tools, bows ind
arrows, skins and other paraphernalia
In many instances 1* a hands of the
dead were found holding tools and
many of the bodies wrre in positions
which might Indieat.; that the village
was suddenly ovqrt-ien by some ca
lamity which wiped nut the lives of the
inhabitants -hu >:*■ instantly The
most slgnifcmt indication of the ex
treme age of th' bodies, however, lbs
In the fact that not a single scrap of
anything composed of metal was found
in the debris of the ancient settlement.
The natives were apparently not even
accustomed to the use of copper, as not
a trace of that metal was found. *On
the other hand, the axes and other
forms of cutting instruments were in
variably made of stone or bone and the
elothing found was entirely of skin.
Numerous polar bear and musk ox
hides were found among the bedding
and a considerable number of cups and
i howls of musk ox horn were discover
ed. Mr Van Valin is convinced that
the remains are those of some people
(who existed age* ago and is sending
lout the remains of a number to have
jtheir probable age determined by the
scientists. He says, the physique,
clothing, tools, household 'implements
and the weapons of the chase are all
different from any that he has seen
during his several years of residence in
northern regions and lead to the con
viction that they belonged to an en
tirely different type of people from
those now existing her*. *
The remains of the ancient aborigi
nes will he shipped on the Victoria
and their antiquity determined by the
scientists. Mr Van Vnlln and his fam
ily .will also leave on the Victoria.
while the* message announcing Her
destruction says it occurred Septem
ber 16th.
The Belvedere was ono <>f the best
known of the ouai^e trading fleet and
was for yearrf in the whaling trade.
During the earlier years 'of Nome's
existence, -the Belvedere was a famllr
iar figure in port and was usually
imong the first vessels to arrive in
Spring after* the ice had departed.
The vessel' was steam propelled at
that time hut was changed to a motor
driven vessel following her purchase

one of the old whaling fleet, the^schoo
ner attained a wide degree of fame
