way bark to the Peninsula side, still keeping a look
out on the bridge and in the rrowsnrst.
Alfred Lomen, who was aboard the Cutter has
nothing but praise for the officers and crew, and
when interviewed he said. “The work of the officers
and crew was splendid. They did all that was pos
sible and went as far as possible and there wa.- not
a man on board who was willing to quit even when
it was seen that it was out of the question to pro
ceed further wdth the expedition. The Cutter, in
the tirst place, is not built of the type for such work
and it took skillful handling to ipsure the safety of |
th* ship and crew." He said that Captain Pemp
wolf had the safety of the ship and th** crew of 100 j
always in mind and praised th** judgment used at all!
Asked for his opinion on the possible position of
th* Silver Wave. Mr. Lomen said that th*- ice they
encountered had a general westward drift of at least
a knot an hour, heading out into the Arctic Ocean.
It was young ice and broadened out as it hit the'
Arctic, breaking and forming many leads In case
th.' Silver Wave was caught in the ice the chance
would be that she would lx* freed on gettine out to J
sea. thus saving the lives of the m**n aboard There j
is plenty of provisions, fuel and oil to last for i long!
time ami there is no danger on that standpoint. “If
tin* boat is still in Kotzebue Sound in the vicinity of
Cape Espenberg. the Hay should soon freeze over
solidly enough for the parry to make shore over the
ee,'' said Mr. Lomen, “and with this in view, word
was sent to George Goshaw. at Sbismaref. to have
a party start out toward Espenberg and build bear >n
fires along the coast at intervals and keep a lookout
and arrangements were also made to have parties j
start out from Peering and cover that section of the I
coast line for the same purpose. Captain Hcgness.
of the Silver Wave, who is ashore, was instructed to i
have the coast line toward Point Hope well patroled
and to have the natives keep a lookout for the boat
In charge of the lost party is Mr. Walters, who
was 1st mate on the ill-fated Arctic. Alf Tiesberg. a
relative of the Lomens. two passengers. Mr. Christen
sen. of Tin City, and Hill Armstrong, and also an
Eskimo from Cape Prince of Wales
Before leaving Nome the Lomen Company sent
aboard the Cutter a number of good parkas and other
warm clothing as th** equipment in the crew’s kits
was not for weather in the Arctic at this time of the
year Those standing the watches on the bridge and
in the crowsnest were well able to stand the cold in
this way. This gave the gobs a thrill that will be re-j
membered for many a day It is said that Captain
Ross of tin* Coast Guard Station here, who was a
member of the party, stood one watch of eight hours
in the crow's nest and was a great help otherwise*

execution here a few days ago of four pirates at
traded a crowd estimated at G.OOu persons. It
emphasized the callousness which is a recognized
trait in Chinese psychology. The day was converted
into a festival. Peanut, candy and soft drink vend

BY FATHER AND SON WEDDINGS
MUNICH. October 29. (AP)—The recent weddings
of Karl Braun 25 years old, and his father have
started an endless chain of relationships which have
got beyond the reach of genealogists and culminated
in Rraun becoming his father’s rather-in-law.
Young Braun married a widow of 4 5 with grown
up children. Shortly after his father. 50 years of
age. married the 24 year ol*l daughter of his son’3
wife. Genealogists figure that as a result of the
two weddings young Rraun became his father’s fath
er-in-law and that Ins’ wife’s daughter became her
mother's mother-in-law and the step mother of her
own step-father.
