• • • that government of the people, by the people,
for the people shall not perish from the earth-'—Lincoln
14Caroline" Sinks
(Editor’s note: Rev. Gregory
Cleboff, of the Russian Orthodox
church, returned to Kodiak this
week after a trip to Karluk. He
had some interesting experiences
while away and following is his
-own account of his journey )
1 left Kodiak for Karluk Aug
L5 on the mailboat boat. Two
days later we got to Larsen’s
foay and Mr. Jones, superintend
ent of the cannery, met me
warmly and I told him I was go
iug to Karluk.
Do you care to make service
for Larsen’s bay people this ev
ening and tomorrow mo niog. he
asked me, because the Caroline,
belonging to the San Juan Pack
ing company, is going tomorrow ;
at 9 to Karluk.
After dinner I baptized two
children and blessed with holy
water and gave orders for every
one to come at 7 in the morning
for confession and communion.
But the same evening the cap
tain from the Caroline sent me a
man with a notice that they were
leaving at 4 in the morning.
1 sent my suitcase to the boat
that evening because in the
morning no one would help me
because they would all be asleep
At 4 the next morning I went
to the boat. A light was shining
'ia the Caroline’s kitchen and I
asked foe help to go down on the
boat. The cook stood in the door
aad in a good voice said if-v-o-u
4tave hot-tie then you can come
down; if not, go away. I repeated
ray question and got the same
answer. So I went down myself
by jumping. When I stepped in
the kitchen I saw my suitcase in
the middle of the floor and the
rope it had been tied with under
the table. I was scared because
in the suitcase was a bottle of
wine for services. But to my big
surprise nothing was touched.
When the cook saw me in the
kitchen he got so angry that ev
erything wh'ch he had prepared
for breakfast he threw through
an open window to the ocean
We left at 5 o’clock and when
we got to the old Uyak cannery
there were many fishing boats
sheltered from angry old Sheli
kof strait In one corner the mail
boat was anchored. Our boat
went to it and the captain notic
ed me We will stay here and
wait good weather, he explained,
but if you want to get to Karluk
today then you go on the mail
boat. I asked Mr. von Scheele,
on the mail boat, and he said al
right I went with him and we
got to Karluk safely but on the
third day we got the news—the
Caroline sank and everybody
was safe but they had to spend
a day and night in the rain and
a sharp southwest wind.
I stayed 10 days back at Lar
sen’s bay waiting for transporta
tion to Kodiak but the time was
the best vacation during my
three years of life in Alaska, be
cause Mr Gordon Jones, Axel
Carlson and OJuf Graff each
treated me like his own father.
God bless them.
With that good company I got
to Kodiak Sept. 9 at 7 30 pm.

"SO LONG SON'S"
s
A car honked outside and he said: “Well, I
guess that’s for me.” He kissed his mother, and
held out his hand to his father who said “so
long, son’’. Good Luck. Some months later he
was reported “Missing in Action”
The more bonds you buy the fewer will be the
