CANDLE RESIDENTS
PLEAD FOR RELIEF
PRESENT DISTRESS
"We were six people from Candle,
including a man from Deering. who
had already, while the Valdez was
at Deering. been promised trans
porti/jon to Nome. We were told
that the Valdez would take a limit
ed number of passengers; so we
•congratulated ourselves on being so
lucky as to obtain a safe and speedy
journey to Nome. Alas, for the dis
appointments that this country is
full of. particularly for us in Can
dle was again in evidence. As we,
my husband, myself, a little girl
and three other men came to Kee
we.lik to take the boat, we were
told that they were only allowed :
certain number of passengers, ant’
having already two passenger*
aboard only two more would be
granted transportation; I was one
of the fortunate two. We begged
and pleaded with the captain, told
him the record for several years
past, that there had been no boat to
*ake j*assengers as late as October
and that even so. the boat that does

accomodations whatsoever; showed
aim that we were marooned there

Hut no, the captain was not to be 1
won over. As « last resort we
telephoned Collector of Customs R.
W J Reed in Nome, asking would
the captain he allowed to take on
Itoard these people., and we receiv

could take cn these people, it was
up to him entirely, and the captain
wou’d not be fined for doing so

boat aud everything. My husbanc'
j even was on board the boat but ha*
to get off. The reason as stated b
the captain was. that they did not
ha,ve accomodations that the law
required for so many passengers.
Seems to me that it is a strange
law that will allow a small boat like
the mail boat, that has absolutely
no accomodations for passengers,
that can not even travel all night or
in little stormy weather but has to
lay to somewhere, to carry up to 18
passengers when a boat like the Val
