LADNCHYANKEE
A TOTAL WRECK
NEAR DRY BAY
The launch Yankee II was wrecked
about forty mites below Yakutat,
while en route from Seattle to Port
Wells, where it intended to enter into
the fishing business. The crew,
George Strixner, C. C. Rudlop, E. C.
Kessler and S. L. Oliver, arrived in
Cordova yesterday afternoon and re
port that the launch is a toal wreck
and they had a most thrilling ex
perience. The Yankee II was an
eighty-five foot boat, of 36 tons bur
den and the loss is placed at $7,500.
When off Cape Spencer there was a
gale blowing which the little craft
tussled against for five hours, during
most of which time, the waves were
breaking over the cabin. Finally she
landed broadside on the beach at the
entrance to Dry bay. Here she was
stuck until the breakers washed her
up high enough for the men to get
off. For four days it was impossible
to launch a life boat in the breakers,
which were rolling high. The first
attempt resulted in the boat being
swamped, but later it got through the
breakers, although the boat was half
full of water and had to be baled out.
The crew headed for Ydkutat and
when within thirty miles of there was
picked up by the cannery tender
Comet. Another five day delay was
experienced at Yakutat when Captain
Murray hove in sight with the tender
yuillacine, which he was bringing up
from Seattle for the Eyak Packing
Company and he brought the crew to
Cordova.
J. G. Watts, former townsite mana
