DETAILS WRECK RUSSIAN
SCIENTIFIC PARTY
Through the courtesy of Itaron
ilo Kriedlander, prominent intet
<r
nationally known mining engineer
who is now engaged in mining in
the Nome section, the Nome Nug
get is herewith giving the first nii
t Pontic details of the ship wreck
and drowning of one of the
memhgrs of the Russian Scientific
Exploration party at Little Dio
mede Island. Due to the fact that
Mr. Friendl'ander talks the Russ
ian language fluently, we are
greatly indebted to him for this
interview, which is as follows:
“On the- 17th 0-f-September-the
schooner “Explorer” with the
three Russian scientists and one
mechanic, which constituted the
exploration party occupied with
the Geographical Research of the
Qhukotsk Peninsula ahd Diomede
Islands, were overtaken by a sey«
ere North westerly, storm. Thjfc
storm drove the ice from the Sib
erian coast, and in trying to geK
through tlie ice pack the schoouer i
was damaged at the how, taking |
water rapidly. This made it im-j
possible to reach the SibenVn^ :
shore. The ■ schooner after working!
out of the ice. went before th*»j
wind towards the Diomede Is
lands with all hands at the-pumps. •
'*■ Finally they succeeded in mak- ;
ing the little Diomede Island
close to the native village and 1
not being familiar with the har
bor they ran upon a reef. The I
leader of the expedition. Prof, j
Hakine in endeavoring to put
ove‘f board the anchor was wash
ed over the side. The rest of the
party by superhuman exertions
succeeded in getting' him out of
the water iu about fifteen Tuin
dies. However, all efforts., at res
toration proved unsuccessful he
had evidently succumbed to shock
and cold. lie was buried the
following day on Little Diomede
Island.
$ Hi off Hakim- was . a talented
sciont.ist known by his works on
lmnerojogy and physical chemistry.
Ho was. a professor at the AIos
i gw_Institute for the study r.f
FTase Metals and occupied film
