DROWNS CROSSING PENNY
D. (Jim) Andrews, well known to
Nomeites. thru his bavin* been an
active prospector in this section foi
many years, was drowned while
crossing Penny river September 19.
Andrews and his partner Jim Efs
datheu. both Greeks, left Nome last
Sunday night for their claim be
tween Cripple river and Rodney
creek to work on a ditch being con
structed by them.
On Monday night b.vh men left
their cabin an Rodney creek Intend
ing to return to Nome. They iross
p*j ('ripple river in a skiff and walk
ed tc Penny river where tbev were
enable to find any craft to take
them across. Andrews, who wore
rubber boots offered to carrv Efs- j
datheu across on his back but was |
refused as Efsdatheu was afraid to
venture and further realised that
Andrews was unable to swim.
Efsdatheu took off his shoes and
intended to wade alone, in the mean
time Andrews started across, got
into deep water and disappeared
from sight. At this time it had be
come quite dark and Efsdatheu
called and searched, but was unable
to bear or find any trace of the
missing man and so returned to his
cabin on Cripple river. The point
at which the accident occurred was
about three hundred feet from the
mouth of the river and the watef
was much deeper than usual.
At six o’clock the next morning
Efsdatheu started out again for
Penny river, seeking traces of his
missing partner, but with no success
He then crossed the river at a high
er point and continued to hunt for
Andrews with the same result as
before, nothing could be found and
he came to Nome and notified Thos.
A. Ross of the Coast Guard Service.
Mr. Ross immdeiately dispatched
four surfmen to patrol the beach
from Snake to Penny rivers in
hopes that the body could be found.
They left the station at 6:16 a. m.
with a team of horses supplied them
by W. J. Rowe and while one man
drove the team the other three
walked along the beach.
Arriving at Penny river at 11 |>.
an., without having seen any trace
of the body the banks of the river
were carefully searched, also with
no results. Shelter was then found
in a deserted cabin until daylight
when the search was continued fur
ther. Unable to find any trace of
the body the men returned to Nome,
following the beach as before, ar
riving in Nome Sept. 20th at 3:00
p. m. Three surfen. one of whom
was a member of the first search
party again started to search the
beach from Snake to Penny rivers
in the hope that the body had
washed ashore, but arfun failure
was the result. The second party
returned to Nome.
Since receiving the first information
of this accident surfmen have main
tained a constant patrol of th'
beach between Snake and Penny
rivers hoping that some trace may
be found. At the time of going to
press no trace'has been found.
D. Andrews was a Greek, aged 4 3
years, and has been in the Nome dis
trict for many years. In the sum
mer time he would work at any
thing ofTered and thereby accumu
late enough to enable him to again
start out and prospect his property
he was a typical prospector, a true
Alaskan. May the Gods of his
fathers receive him and bid his soul
welcome.

1*01,AII BEAR CRUSHED
IX ICE PACK
Last year the schooner Polar Bear
was caught by spring freshets ant)
beached on the flats of the Kolyma
river. Janies Castelle was sent
north in the Belinda to lauch the
beached boat and bring her to Xoiue
this season.
Arriving at the Kolyma river he
proceeded to launch her by hauling
tne vessel out on the ice and eg
nepted that when the ice broke up
in the spring the vessel would be
readv for her return trip. Fate
however decreed otherwise. Vfhen
the ice broke up the boat was let
into the water, but storms arose
and the ice crushed her to pie-os.
Castelre then returned »o the Belin
da and cc’t'Ji-ed his TV't'ng v***
A member or the Beit a- a ien
vessel and was seen a I Chaun Say
where he told the story of both the
Polar Bear and the Belinda. When
he left the Belinda that boat was
without fuel oil and was caught in
the ice some 30 miles West of Cape
The Belinda was boarded by the
White Russians who took over the
entire outfit. When first approach
ed by the Russians they attempted
to levy a tax of ten per cent upon
all goods entering the country and
a like tax on all stuffs taken from
the country. Conditions were such
that Castelle decided to let the Rus
sians take over the boat while he
retained the furs acquired by him.
After the change had taken place
he purposed to leave the Belinda,
freight his skins to East. Cape and
if possible make connections for
Nome. Tt is not known whether he
was successful, as nothing further
has been learned concerning him or
his boat.
According to the report of the
crew member the Belinda was in
complete control of the White Rus
sians and Castelle was - merely a
passenger. Ice conditions were
such that the report further states
that the Belinda will likely suffer
the same fate as the Polar Bear.
About 35 miles North of Cape
North the Chuckotsk was met head
ed for Chaun Bay but decided to
go no further. The Blue Sea and
I the Silver Wave were also at this
point and their present whereabouts
and condition is indeed a serious
matter.

VICTORIA PASSENGERS
ABOARD THIS EVENING

that unloading was discontinued or
carried on intermittently.
Unloading has progressed so far
that R. S. Carroll has issued notice
for all passengers to go aboard at
4 p. m. today.
The Vic. will leave Seattle on or
about October 20th.
