The details of the wreck of the
freight steamship Delhi, by striking
the outer end of a jagged reef on the
south end of Strait Island, in South
eastern Alaska, as published exclus
ively in Wednesday’s Times, show the
urgent necessity for more aids to navi
gation in this territory.
According to the stories of mem
bers of the crew, the Delhi was pro
ceeding from Craig to Wrangell when
she met with her disaster. Captain
McCarthy and Pilot Victor Gnquist
were on the bridge. A filmy haze
blotted out all landmarks, and as it
was dark, the light on the island was
not visible. The Delhi struck bow-on,
and water began to pour in from a
rent In her hull. Capt. McCarthy
ordered lifeboats made ready but it
was an hour and half later before they
were launched, as the ship was in no
immediate danger. Finally the Delhi
was abandoned, when it was feared
that her boilers would burst. The i
swell pounded the vessel heavily, ac
cording to the crew, and the ship la
^ bored on the reef, with her timbers
amidships bending and straining.
When the Alameda came along her
searchlight "picked-up the lifeboat
n charge of Fourth Officer F. E. Pet
?rs, and the boat and its men were
fioisted to the deck of the Alaska
Steamship liner. A short time later
Float No. 2 was picked up. Before the
\lameda continued North Capt. Mc
Carthy and seven members of his
:rew returned to Strait Island, to pitch
lamp. Although it was quite dark, the
Delhi was visible through, the mist,
ind passengers on the Alameda de
dare the vessel did not seem to be
nuch under water. The vessel’s prow
s crushed down on the rock, but her
mperstructure will not be submerged
it high tide.
When the Delhi struck the reef it
vas within one and one-quarter hours
intil low water. Fortunatly the ves
iel’s hatches were empty. Her cargo
:onsisted of 15 drums of fuel oil and
14 empty oil drums.
"The vessel was traveling at the
•ate of nine miles an hour, which is
ler full speed,” said Pilot Enquist,
vho was on the bridge when the Delhi
itruck, “However’ I think she can be
lalved, although we could not tell
vhen we left the wreck.”

GAME HUNTERS
BRING MANY
TRDPHIES
Carey Morgan, a young New York
er, of the Helmont-Morgan-Iselin hunt
ing party, arrived In Cordova yester
day after a five months hunting trip
in interior Alaska, and leaves on the
Alameda for his home to be followed
a few later by his friends who are now
enjoying some trapping and are loathe
to leave the wilderness. There prob
ably was never a better equipped
hunting party ever went into the In
terior of Alaska than this one, com
posed of the sons of prominent east
tern flnancers, and Morgan says that
they got all they bargained for and
more too.
The boys hnve had a great trip and
they will no doubt return east with
such an enthusiastic acqyunt of what
Alaska ofTers to hunters that other
parties will come this way next sum
mer. With their moving picture ma
chine, they have taken hundreds of
feet of wild animnl scenes and hunting
expeditions that will later entertain
their friends and the public at large
perhnps, telling the story better than
It can be told In print or by words of
mouth.
With their guns they have shot
hear, mose, caribou, mountain sheep,
’ox and smaller game, and they
will ship out innumerable trophies of
he hunt. Young Morgan brought
with him many skins, horns and
leads, most of which were secured
>n the Toklat river In the Mt. Mc
Kinley district. One set of horns
neasured over five feet nine Inches
icross and projected so far beyond the
'Ides of the load that they had great
rouble cutting the trulls wide enough
n places. Iselin killed a grizzly that
neasured eight feet nine inches from
ip to tip, in an unstretched condition.
Once when taking moving pictures
>f mountain sheep, they were able to
;et within forty paces of three rams
md remained there for a long time,
rhe game appeared to be fascinated
iy the sight of the machine and paid
ittle attention to the men themselves,
vho smoked and chatted with each
>ther, wondering how long their wild
inlmal friends would remain. Also
hey secured a good picture of foxes
it play and some thrilling bear plc
ures. These films will be taken out
iide for development.
•'It's a large country,” said Morgan,
"much larger than I ever realized.
This trip beats the stereotyped trip
around the world that so many of the
college boys take after completing
their university work and when I re
turn I am going to tell my friends and
acquaintances so. We are highly
satisfied with our experience and none
of the boys would have missed it for
anything. It has been greater sport
and good for us in every way. My one
regret is that I am obliged to go East
alone.”
The hunters covered the McKinley
country pretty thoroughly. They
practically circled the base of the giant
mountain, hunted on the dozen
streams which find their source on Its
glaciered sides, and made countless
trips in all directions from their es
tablished camp on the middle fork of
the Toklat river, 45 miles above
Knight’s place. If there la anything
they missed, he dosen’t know what It
Is. They had no accidents, no sick
ness and in fact to date every ar
rangement has worked out smoothly.
