that the small supply of provisions
there was almost gone ns a result of
tin- inroads made by the newcomers
on the already scanty store of the vil
lagers. The remaining supplies were
given a hasty inventory which disclos
ed barely enough to lust the village
and its unfortunate guests two days,
idealizing that starvation was tin* in
evitable result of waiting for help to
come, six men started across the
mountains for Tin City and York, hop
ing to secure more food. After a
.toilsome and stormy journey the party
arrived at its destination only to find
that, both York and Tin City possess
ed little surplus provisions. What
little could be spared was cheerfully
given by the residents of the two .set
tlements and four of the- party started
back to Wales bearing the meager
store of supplies. The situation was
by this time desperate in the extreme
for all concerned and Capt. .Johansen
and Kngineer K\> rn decided to walk
to Teller In an effort to secure help
for the starvation threatened one’s at

I them in Teller. At the time of reach

wore nearly exhausted as a result of
the terrific hardships they had endured
on their heroic march. .Eye-witnesses
say the feet of the two men resembled
pieces of raw meat when they reached
Teller and l>oth were able to walk
only with considerable suffering. At
Teller they were given all possible as

Owing to the White Mountain being
long overdue, Capt. Boss had notified
the coast guard cutter on July 3ft r?
garding the schooner, but the Bear
was engaged in repairing her bullets
and coaling at Pnalakleet in prepara
tion for her annual cruise into the
Arctic and was therefore not in a posi

Capt. Rost* late in the evening of July
rsl iinfl an hour or two later the Silver
Wave had been secured ax a relief ship,
thanks to the philanthropic kindness
of Jafet Rindebcrg, president of tho
Pioneer Mining Company, who. on be
ing shown the message an hour or
two after it*s arrival immediately of
fered to personally defray all expenses
of sending a vessel to Whies. After'
reading the radiogram Mr. Rindeherg!
exclaimed instantly: "Go and get a!
vessel at once and get those people
regardless of cost.’’ The only stipula
tion attached to his characteristically
generous offer was that Capt Ross and
his crew should accompany the rescue
Arrangements to charter the Silver
Wave were Immediately instituted by
Capt ltoss and the vessel sailed at b!
a. m. Sunday morning last, with pro-J
! visions and other supplies, including a*
[quantity of fuel for the stranded Whltej
In the meantime, the trading
schooner Herman. Capt. Peterson,
owned bv the Riches Co. of San Fran
cisco. had arrived at Cape Prince of
"Wales after a cruise on the Siberian
coast. The coming of the trader was
providential, as by this time the scanty
sto.e of provisions al the Cape village
was almost gone and another day or
two would have found the White
Mountain refugees, as well as the vil
lagers. In dire straits for food. On
learning the situation Capt. Peterson
agreed to take the White Mountain
passengers on board bis vessel and
convey them to Nome. As there Is
no communication with the Cape. It
was of course, not known here that
relief had come to the Cape before
the Silver Wave set forth on her er
rand of mercy. As events later dis
closed, the Herman was at Sledge Is
land with the stranded passengers
when the Silver Wave left Nome. The
two vessels sighted each other at the
island on the following evening but no
communications were exchanged. The
Silver Wave left Nome In the teeth
of a rising storm and found heavy
going from the start. Arriving off
Sledge inland, it was decided to lay
to and take on a fresh supply of water.
Capt. Ross states that the Herman was
already there when the Silver Wave
afrived. having taken shelter there
from the storm during the night. The
hours, taking water. Oapt Ross also
interviewed the crew of the wrecked
trading schooner Kolyina, who were
on the island, to ascertain if they need
ed ! •dp. The men were in no need of
assistance but wanted to he taken off
the Island. On leaving the island the
Wave headed for OapePrJnccof Wales.
Th wind was still blowing a gale and
tiie .‘■eas were heavy. Arriving off Port
Cl: cnee It was decided to put about
and head for Teller, as the southeaster
eon'.tnied to blow violently, precluding
all prospect of making a landing at
Wales. The schooner arrived early on
th< following morning and picked up
On pi. Johansen and Engineer Evern,
afterward proceeding to the Cape, nr
riv'ng there the same evening. As the
Herman had taken on 13 of the 14
passengers on July 30 and left for
Nome the Wave was headed for Ixipp’s
Lagoon, after taking on hoard Mrs.
Fred R. Tate, wife of the Bureau of
Education school teacher who wished
to come to Nome. On reaching the
lagoon, the White Mountain was found
high and dry on the beach and entirely
undamaged. Capt. Johansen and his
engineer were landed, together with *
supply of provisions and wrecking
gear to enable them to place th*
schooner hack In the water. As the
vessel lay only about 60 feet from the
chalined, it Is expected this could he
done In about 48 hours." The Silver
Wave then returned to the Cape, wherp
the schooner took aboard Joe McArthur
the fur buyer who was the one White
Mountain passenger who failed to go
on board the Herman. McArthur, who
is an agent for the George Goshaw
Co., of New York, had about 910,000
worth of furs from the Koyuk and Ko.

board the Silver Wave and also the
Kotzebue malls brought to the Cape
on the White Mountain. The Wave
then set out for Nome.
On the way down the roast the
schooner encountered the power boat
Toiler, with five persons on hoard.
The vessel was picked up in a fog
about 15 miles ofT Pt Spencer and was
bound for Teller, but had become lost
through some defect In her compass.
When found by the Wave, the little
vessel was heading straight for Siberia
with her passengers totally unaware
they were not on the right course.
The occupants were taken on board
the Wave and later their vessel was
towed within sight of land, from
whence it could follow the coast line
to its destination. After completing
this meritous service, the Wave re
sumed her course but on arriving off
Sledge Island sighted a signal of dis
tress set by the crew of the wrecked
Kolyma. On putting in to shore, it
was found that the captain of the
stOi in shattered trader wanted to com.*
to Nome. He stated it was impos
sible for him to remain on the deso
1 late island any longer. He was tak
en on hoard, but his companions re
mained on the island to protect the
valuable cargo. The Wave then pro
ceeded to Nome, arriving Wednesday.

express deep gratitude for the kind as

sincere thanks particularly to Mr. and

are also grateful to the kind natives
of Wales village, who generously sup
plied them with such provisions they
could spare, to Capt Peterson of the
Herman and his crew, who extended
them every courtesy and to Mr Kindi -
berg, whose splendid benevolence and
generosity is none the less appreciated
because it failed to achieve the objet •
at which it was aimed. Only the pro.
vidontlal arrival of the Herman pre
vented the noted mining man being
fhe means whereby the unfortunates
tvero relieved from hunger and suffer
in this connection recalls that tie was
once before the Good Samarltaln in a
similar tale of sea disaster. nvherein
human lives were hanging in the b.il.
nnce and only the hand of kindly be
nevolence could save. This was when
the survivors of the ill fated Kafluk
chief vessel of the famous Stefansson
expedition, were marooner on the deso
late shores of Wrangell Island in 1914,.
On that occasion Mr. Un deb erg's
splendid spirit of benevolence was ex
pressed in the chartering and outflting
at great expense of the former revenue
cutter Corwin in an effort to reach the
ice beleagured island and rescue the
ill fated castaway’s.
Warm praise is also due Capt Jo
hansen and Engineer Evern for their
heroic endeavors in behalf of the un
fortunate passengers and to Capt. Ross
and his gallant crew.
Following is the list of passengers
who share# in the hardships and dan
gers of the White Mountain's bitter
experience and for whom the tale has
happily ended well.
