A Stowaway
Deserter
By ALBERT T. KflNYON
The secoSd officer of the ship Albn
tross running between Now York aud
Iluvana one morning walked aft
where the captain was standing talk
Ing with a passenger. The mate win
conducting a stowaway who bad Just
been found concealed In the hold. The
latter was a man about twenty years
old and appeared to b< healthy nnd
strong. He was partly dressed In the
uniform of a United fltates soldier
Ou his face was a bitter, rebellious
look.
"Who aro you?" asked the captain
sternly.
"A deserter."
"You don't seem ashamed of being
one."
"Nor should 1, seeing that I had a
tyrant for a captain."
"Well, you'll have to work your way."
The deserter-stowaway was put
down among the coal bjavers, where,
stripped to the waist, he shoveled coal
Into the furnace. The ship was off
Cape Ilatteras when her rudder post
broke and left her at the mercy of
wind and waves, the former blowing
directly on shore. To put In a now
pout at sea In rough wenthor was not
to lie thought of. Some expedient
must be made for ga.nlng steerage
way temporarily; then the ship must
be taken Into port for repairs. The
captain planned to Ox a chain to each
side of the rudder, bring an end of
each chain up ou to the deck, attach
both to a capstan and thus steer the
ship
There was a heavy Ircn ring on each
side of the rudder, and the intention
was to pass a rope through the ring
anil secure an attachment for the
rhaln to the ring by melius of the rope.
Hut how get the rope through the
rings? When the ship's keel was on
a level the rings were five feet under
water When the ship plunged down
a wave the stern was lifted and the
rings exposed. The pixiblem was to
get the ropes through ihe rings when
they were thus raised above the sur
face The only way was for a man to
be lowered on to the rudder, go down
with It and up again, putting the ropes
through the rings when they were at
the highest point To tuspend a man
for the pur|H)se would not nvall. He
would likely be dashed against the
.stern To do his work he must cling
to the rudder.
The captnln ordered the ship's crew
lined up on deck and called for volun
teyri to do the work Only ono man |
could work at a time. The reason for.
calling for a number was that It was
supitosed several would t>e disabled be
fore one succeeded.
An.l so It proved. The flrst man was
lost by losing his grip. The second
was hauled up unconscious. The third
became benumlted. and the fourth wag
killed by being dashed against the
ship's stem. That ended the volun
teering, so far as the crew was con
cerned, and the work had not been
done.
Then the stowaway, who had come
on dock to see what was going on.
stepped forwnrd nnd offered himself
for the next victim. The vessel was
approaching the coast, and death was
staring all on Ixwinl In the face. The
offer was nccepted as a last hope. The
man had on only troiuers and woolen
slilrt. and his strength was apparent
V rope was looped under his shoul
ders. the one to l?e attached was glvon
Idin. and when the ship was about to
plunge he was quickly lowered:*
Clinging to the rtngii. knowing that
he would not have tliuo to do his work
before the stern would go down, he
waited to l>e submerged nnd rise again.
As lie disappeared these leaning over
the stern to watch him wondered if
when the rudder came up he would be
there. Few expected that he would.
It was a good minute before the rise
came, but the stowaway came with It
While the rudder was exposed he ran
the end of the rope through ono ring.
Down again he went, was gone nn
other minute, came up and this time
(Missed the ro|?e through the other ring
A third time he sank and rose, and be
fore the stern went down again he had
the rope looped aroun l him. He was '
pulled up nnd laid unconscious on the
deck.
The ope rope passed through the two I
rings enabled the crew to get the
chains through and thus secure con- 1
trol of the rudder not ten minutes be
fore the ship would fnvo been bump
ing on the sands. The lives of all be
Ing In danger, no one paid any atten
tion to the stowaway till the rudder
was pulled by hand to port and the
ship, making a curve, stood out to
sea. Then tho captain hurried to the
side of the man who had saved him,
his crew nnd his passengers nnd, lift
ing him up. embraced him. The stow
| away opened his ejes; tho captain
called for some llcjuor and poured It
down his throat
Pneumonia set In, but the stowaway
did not lack for attention nnd rccov
<>red. When he was able to leavo his
room the captain asked him what he
could do for him, offering to go to
\\ ashlngton, stnte his services and ace
If a commission In ths army could not
be secured for him. But tho deserter
said that he would rather be under
the orders of one he could depend upon
for kind treatment nnd begged the
captain to tako him Into his serrlca
Oils was done, nnd the deserter was
[?laced among the crew under a differ
ent name from his own. Ho was pro
moted as fast as thera wero vacancies,
studying navigation the whllo under
the captain's tuition.
PROMINENT MINING ENGINEER |
MAKES REPORT ON C1H8ANA*
( Continued from Pago X.)
Going southerly up to the head of
Qluclor Creak one comes Into Skoo
kuu Gulch which In half u mllo
loads Into Little Eldorado ,a stream
about two miles long emptying Into
Bonunzo Creek, two and one half
miles above Its junction with John
son Creek.
Little Eldorado is a wide open
gulch to within 500 yards or Us
mouth. Then It narrows to about
uU feet width. At that point the
original discovery o I tho district was
uiado by James and Nels. 'Iho day
of my visit there, flvo men were'
shovelling Into a string of three
sluice boxes, taking tho gravel from
it width of about 25 feet aud a
depth of two and ono half to turee
foet. 1 Judged thoy wore taking up
from ti to 12 inches of bedrock, u
urokcu slate like rock.. In the after
noon 1 passed tho place while
iho cleanup was being made,
and estimated that thero were from
40 to 50 ounces of coarse gold in
tho pan. Flendle thought there were
uearer 80 ouuees. It being about
*10 gold, my figure would rnoau a
oout *150 per man a day of seven
or eight hours shovelling. 1 asked If .
the balance of the gravel on the
sides of the gulch carried values
and was told that It docs. They
said that their present operations:
were for the purpose of obtaining
ready money and that next spring
they intend to put In a plant to1
take the full wldtl- of the gulch and
clean the bed rock. The first claim
abovo tho discovery was equipped
with three boxes and some gravel
has bcou washed, but wo tould not
ascertain tho result.
A mllo down the Bouunza below
Little Eldorado, three men have a
fraction lu the creek bed. Thoy
had three boxes rigged up and had
aiude their first run tho day before
our visit. They too were taking up
two und one-half to three foet of
gravel from tho crook bed. We wer
told thoy got 25 ouncoa from seven
hours shovelling. In tho clean up
wus a *42. nugget, which we saw.
It was clean gold, free from quartz
Apparently these woro tlio only
two places from which gold In pay
lug quantities had been taken. On
tho other hand, so far as 1 know,
these wero tho only likely places In
which bod rock hud been roachod.
Most of tho men In tho district wer
busy doing tho work roqulred for
recording their various claims, hunt/
ing *or fractions, and whip sawlnij
lumbor. Several had encounters
frozen ground.
It Is likely that tho gravel on the
Wilson creek slope and thut Includes
tho larger part of th edlstrlct, is
considerably deeper than that on
Little Eldorado and Bonanza and ox
cept In tho creek beds, frozeu. Tho
gravel of both Johnson and Wilson
Creeks Is undoubtedly of consider
able depth.
Considerable Jumping of claims Is
said to havo occurred aud It Is
told that there has bcon more or
less blanketing. 1 saw some claims
with at least two sets of papers.
Tho rocordor George Morgan, told
mo that 250 claims had been record
ed and that about 1500 had been
staked.
People going Into the district
now should bo propared for a so
journ of several mouths. Thoy mu?
either wait for claims to lapse thru
failure of tho Initial work or thoy
must soarch for gold on new creeks.
I' I wero to go In there as a pros
pector I would not hesitate a min
ute about pursuing this latter
course. As you will romember, a
limit was set upon my return to
Whltehorse and 1 had no choice a
bout remaining. The Shushanna
country looks promising and the
gravel deposits seemingly extend al
so down tho Boavor .Valley Into
Canadian territory. I fully expect
that now and doslrable discoveries
will bo made outside of the district
described abovo.
Wo left Wilson Creek August 17
and wont across the Johnson to tho
Beaver Creek watershed and fol
lowed the course of that stream for
35 miles. A mllo bolow where
Ptarmigan Crook empties into It,
wo found tho trail across tho Rab
bit Croek divldo to Canyon City, 15
mllos. From Canyon City wo took
tho regular Kluane Lake trail, ar
riving at SUvor City August 30th.,
fourteen days from Wilson Crook,
an estimated dlstanco of 210 mllos
Our roturn packs wore not hoavy
but our horses had been on grass
for thirty days and over and wo did
not try to averago more than 15
miles a day.
If I -had to mako another trip to
tho Shushanna, I would tako tho
Kluano trail. At tho hoad of White
Rlvor wo mot aiid talkod with mon
who had como in ovor the Chltl
stone (or Scolal) Pass and on Boav
or Croek we saw many who ha>.
taken the Coffee Creek trail. W
wero groatly Interested to knov
which trail Is the most satlafactor.
and accordingly asked many quest
Ions The conclusion that the Klu
aue Trail Is the best wta easily I
rcnchc-J. j
Tho Chitistono (or Scolal) Trail Is
shorter, but It Is ovor u difficult
rocky pass and a dangerous glacier
and morulue. An englneor friend
who lias had much eperlence on
trailR in South and Central America,
Melco and the West, told me that
Scolal Pum is the worst trail In tho
world. He did not return by It.
Many people arc going via Coffee
Croek trail and 1 am told tho prin
cipal difficulty is that portions of It
Is a muskeg and nlggor head counti '
However, the Canadian government
are spending $6,000. Improving the
trail and Btumpedcrs continue to go
in with horses.
Tho Kluano Lake trail, while per
haps longor, has severul advantages
Tho first 142 miles Is a good wagon
road. If ono so doslreB, ho can
hnvo his freight carried by boat to
tho foot of the lako, saving pack
ing 50 miles. Tho Canadian gov
ernment has a party on tho trail,
marking It and putting up signs.
There Is good feed for horses tho
wholo distance. Wo carHed no
horse feed whatever, and at no
time on the regular trail did our
animals lack good pasture. There
is an abundance of gamo and trav
tleru at this souson of tho yoar,
need not be without fresh meat. Af
ter leaving Kluano lako caribou,
inooso and mountain shcop may bo
obtained without great effort. I?v-:
ery cloar stream and lako is allvo
with fish and in the higher elova
llons ptarmigan aro in great abun
dance. As a winter trail this is
sure to be satisfactory o unccount of
its low passes and open divides. In
very few places and then only for
short stretches Is it without shel
ter and firewood. Anyone proper
ly equipped as wo were should en
counter no difficulty in getting thru
over this route.
Respectfully,
Froderlck P. Burrall.
