ANCHORED AT
ST. LAWRENCE
It was learned here recently,
that a large Japanese vessel drop
ped anchor at Gamble, St. Lawr
ence Island (in Bering Sea op
posite Nome), on July 21st. The
ship is reported to have anchored
within a half mile of the beach
and several boat loads of Eski
mos went out to her. The natives
reported afterward that one of
the officers on the Japanese ship
could talk English and offered
them whiskey and wine. The
native called “Jimmy" who board
ed the ship Said “that the people
on the ship wanted to buy ivory
and fur from the natives and also
offered to trade liquor.
The natives were asked if there
were any white men on the is
land and informed the Japanese
that there was a school teacher
there and that they expected the
U. S. Cutter Nortland to arrive
soon. The ship left as soon as
the natives went ashore, fearing
the presence of the U. S. govern
ment cutter Northland.
The Eskimos of St. Lawrence
Island report that they have seen
several large Japanese ships, “big
ger than the S. S. Derblay of the
Alaska Line, cruising near the
Island this summer. It is presum
ed that these vessels are probably
making a survey of the fishing
grounds of Northern Bering Sea.
