SlI.YElt WAVE RETURNS
FROM WRANGELL ISLAND
Bearing a somewhat curious story !
indicative of a possible attempt to
annex a portion of the Siberian do
main by the advance representatives
of the forthcoming Stefansson Arc- j
tic expedition, the power schooner!
Silver Wave. Oapt. Jack Hammer. |
returned "Wednesday from atrip to
Wrangell Island, where the Stefans
son party were landed after a some
what stormy passage north.
According to those on board the:
Silver Wave, the party had no more
than landed before either a British
or Canadian flag was raised over the
island as if it was intended to take
formal possession. Some of those
on board the Silver Wave commented
on the hasty action and were in
formed by members of the expedition i
party that the flag was merely in
tended as a demonstration of respect
to those members of the first Stefans
son expedition who died on the island
following the wreck of the steamer
Karluk in 11*14. It is stated, how-'
ever, that several members of the
expedition were confidently expect
ing to be knighted as a result of
their venture into the Arctic wilds
and were nothing loath to express
their views that such honors would
be forthcoming, aliioigli it is dif
ficult to determine just why mere
connection with an Arctic explora
tion party should merit such reward.
The Silver ;Wav"e arrived at the
lonely island September 15 and de
parted on the following day. NTo
ice was encountered but passage
from Nome was considerably delayed
by stormy weather. The vessel was
forced to lay to several times en
route. The party was landed at
Cape Hawain on the west side of
the island and apparently intends to
winter there. .
