The Coast Guard Cutter McCul
loch a trim looking craft dropped
anchor in the roadstead shortly
after noon yesterday, having on
hoard the marooned crew of the
Great Bear, twenty-one in all,
rescued from St. Mathew Island
where the Great Bear was wrecked
some seventeen days ago. All are
well; suffered no hardship and lit
tle privation of any kind.
The Great Bear which was awned
in partnership by Borden and Louis
Lane was a fast boat reaching Un
alaska in ten days and sixteen hours
after leaving Seattle July 25. The
Great Bear then proceeded on its
passage through Bering Sea, direct
ing its course towards Mathew Is
land with the intention of hunting
walrus off Hall island, at the north
est end of St. Mathew island.
At one o’clock in the morning of
Thursday, August 10, in a fog which
was thick as mush, the Great Bear
tore across the reef surrounding
Pinnacle rock tearing its bottom,
and shattering its- stern as it
brought up with its bowsprit about
fifty feet from the edge of the Pin
nacle cliff that rises from the water
about nine hundred odd feet. At
the time of the striking the rock,
Mott, second mate was on watch and
Borden was navigating officer. Cap
tain Lane being sick in bed at the
time of the occurrence.
With four whale boats launched,
the party proceeded to salvage what
they could from the wreck, and pro
visions of all sorts, bedding, per
sonal effects and sundries belonging
to the trip were removed to St.
Mathew island from the wrecked
ship. The report that they lived on
seal meat carried its own refutation
for. any person who witnessed the
work of unloading under the super
intendence of T. M. Clowes at the
j Sesnon dock, the scow load , of sup
plies, food, and belongings that were
taken on board the McCulloch at
St. Mathew Island and lauded in
Nome yesterday. Yet in spite ot
this, there is still an ample stock
of provisions and supplies which
will have to be later removed from
the island.
The McCulloch was induced to
search for the missing party when
advices were sent to the Coast
Guard steamer from Nome. After
waiting two days from the first no
tification of the missing steamer and
the Great Bear still missing the
McCulloch set out to search for the
motorship, the captain shaping his
course in the direction of St.
Mathew island where they landed
at ten o’clock Friday morning, and
came upon the marooned party at
three in the afternoon. They easily
traced the shipwrecked party al
though they touched the island
about six miles from the encamp
ment.
Life on the wilds of St. Mathew
Island, notwithstanding the plenti
ful supply of salvaged stores and
supplies, was anything but a plea
j sant dream. With rod and gun
j they subsisted upon such luxuries
as trout and snipe as a welcome
change from their store supplies.
But for all that, they had already
started rigging up a launch with a
view of making for St. Lawrence
island if the rescue party had not
arrived on the McCulloch.
It is likely that the Collector ot
Customs will send out the ship
wrecked crew on.the Northwestern,
while Lane, Borden, Clowes as welt
as some of the rest of the officers,
will remain over for some time to
attend to the business end of mat
ters.
By the way, as luck would have
it, the cabin Lane erected some time
ago on St. Mathew island was noi
in existence when the party got
wrecked there. It was burned down
by the orders of the commander of
the Unalga some time previously,
the island being one of those mys
terious bird reservations that adorn
so many sections of Alaska.
The Great Bear was a fine boat
137 feet long and 223 net tons. At
the time of her striking the rocks,
carried 525 tons. She was a motor
ship fitted with Bolander engines
of the latest type. She carried no
insurance.

ZEPPS ALMOST GET
LONDON POWER STATION
I
LONDON, Aug. 27.—It is officially
stated that Zeppelins which raided
the environs of London caused the
death of nine and the injury of
forty. Women and children as usu
al were heavy sufferers.
The Zepps almost got the London
Power station, several bombs being
dropped in the outskirts of the plant
which suffered some in the follow
ing explosions.
The raids were conducted during
the night and all the Zeppelins got
away. A heavy mist obscured the
air craft which had a peculiarly
favorable night for their operations.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—
To say that the Congressmen are
rushing work just now with a view
of adjourning on September 1 might |
not be quite correct, but they are I
speeding up some. The revenue bill

The suspended sale was having
