Tells Story Saving
Str. Santa Anna In
1901 Enroute Nome
The following article is reprinted
from the Valdez Miner, which was
printed under a heading entitled
“Communicated,” being addressed
to the Editor of the Valdez paper:
Valdez, Alaska, Feb. 9, 1935
I have read in all the Alaska pa
pers of stories about some of Alas
ka's oldtimers, their experiences,
etc., but truth is stranger than fic
tion This story will be one on
myself It is about my second trip
to Nome in 1901
I left San Francisco, May 20, on
board the steamship Santa Anna,
Capt. Schage in charge; arriving in
Seattle the 25th, and loaded and
took on passengers 1 was to be
employed by the North Coast Light
erage Company at Nome, of which
Mr Woods’ then mayor of Seattle,
resigned to operate the company,
also the Yukon Transportation Com
pany with Captain Klitgard as sup
erintendent And here is where my
story begins and my experiences in
the Far North
Saved The Santa Anna
My story is how I saved the San
ta Anna from burning at sea with
GOO people aboard We left Seat
tle the first of June and to make it
a little hard on the captain, we had
to large lighters in tow for the com
pany at Nome Myself and one oth
er man were to look out for them,
put lights on at night and see that
1 they were kept shipshape
On this particular night I had the
shift Just about eight bells I call
ed the second mate to relieve the
mate on the bridge I had my
stateroom in the hallway leading to
the dining room, and right opposite
the galley, but when I opened my
door I found I could not get in for
smoke I opened the galley door
but could not face the smoke, and
everyone was asleep .
I rushed for the bridge where the
mate and the second mate were en
gaged in conversation obvious to
the danger . I told the mate not to
get excited or make any noise, but
that there was a fire somewhere in
the ship as my room and galley
were full of smoke. ; They followed
me down and we went into the gal
ley and noticed the smoke seeped
in from the hull between the deck
and the bulkhead leading into the
boilerroom
When we cut a hole in the deck
the smoke boiled out but not a soul
other than us knew anything about
it When we went to call all hands
but warned them not to cause any
alarm until we found out more
about conditions We went to work
taking off the after hatch so as to
not make any draft, just so two
men Could get into the hold So
the mate and myself went down,
and soon located the fire
First we had to take all the bag
gage out and up on deck We kept
digging in from the builkhead and
found the cause of the fire right
against the front bulkhead, which
had caught from the boilers, near a
lot of tar and wrapping paper If
we had not found the fire when we
did it would have been but a short
time until the hull would have been
a seething furnace
The mate asked the engineer to
turn the steam hose on the blaze
and quickly smothered it out By
morning, without a soul being any
the wiser, we had all the baggage
on deck and when the passengers
came out of their staterooms and
saw all the baggage on deck they
exclaimed “why we must be getting
into Nome this morning “ 1 told
them we had about 400 miles to go
yet, and one lady asked why we
had all the baggage on deck I re
plied we had to get hold of some
of that good liquor, so every lady
could have a smile on her face
Among the passengers were a
number of prominent people such
as John Considine organizer of the
F O E; Lucky Baldwin and others
Considine had his troupe of actors
and dancers aboard for the Stand
ard Theatre and I was engaged at
$100 per night as the Human Pin
Cushion Lucky Baldwin was to
open up a saloon in East Nome
Well after we got all the freight
straightened out and damage re
paired, the smallpox broke out and
the ship was placed in quarantine
behind Sledge Island and for eleven
days we laid up hoping to get per
mission to go to Nome We had no
such luck but got into Nome the
day after the Fourth of July, so we
had two celebrations, one aboard
ship and one at Nome And did
we celebrate
Some of the girls and many of the
passengers never learned of their
danger from the fire in the ship,
because of coo] heads and no ex
citement by the mate and crew
The North Coast Lighterage Com
pany had no boats I was forced
to go aboard the company’s tug
boat, Lena L , Captain Chichester
and it was blowing strongly from
the southeast We had to anchor
behind Sledge Island for shelter
and the day after the Santa Anna
left it was blowing so hard we wait
ed behind the island for twenty
four hours Coming back to Nome
I saw a box floating in the water,
marked B White I pulled off my
coat and trousers and dove over
board The ship kept on going and
I let out a scream for help Captain
Chichester said, "What in h— are
Any Silk Or Wool
Dresses $5.00
