HSLIBUT BOAT
•. Wrecked in the North Pacific,
forced to take to the boats with
out any preparation, chased off
the beach by a large brown bear,
rescued in the nick of time by the
steamer ariposa and arrested in
Juneau of alleged looting of the
steam Al-Ki, is the story of hard
ship told by the members of the
crew of the halibut steamer Man
hattan who arrived there last
night and who are in the federal
jail awaiting trial on the charge
of looting.
On the . 15th of Novefhber at 2
o’clock in the morning the Manhattan
struck an uncharted rock near Lituya
bay, 40 miles west of Cape Specer.
The alarm was sounded and the crew
took to the boats, the steamer sink
ing from sight within a very few min
utes. At the time she struck the Man
hattan was loaded with 90,000 pounds
of fish and was headed for Cape
Spencer on her way to Ketchikan
from the fishing banks. JThe weather
was dark, but the sea was fairly
smooth at the time, although it was
bitter cold.
Bear Attacks Party
Scantily clad and suffering from the
cold and wet, the men in the boats
started for shore where a fire was
built and they started to dry theii
clothing. Shortly after reaching tht
beach, a large brown bear attackec
the party, and as they were unarmed
not even having an axe, they wen
H again forced to take to the boats.
I They were all soaked again in get
dug their boats off the beach through
the surf. The bear followed them for
some <i>*.«wee into the water, sv.iP'r
miag along after the boats.
At 7 o'r'.cek cn the moi uiug oi the
same day, the lights of the steamer
Mariposa were sighted and the men
in the boats shouted to attract the
attention of the steamer. On account of
the darkness they were not seen and
the Mariposa was going to pass them,
when one of the men discovered one
dry match in his pockets. Hearing
a piece from the inside of his oilskin
coat, he managed to set it on fire
and the flare was seen by the men on
the Mariposa.
In the darkness one boat became
separated from the others, with seven
men in it is still missing, although il
is thought probable they have beer
picked up by some other fishing ves
sel.
When found by the Mariposa the
men were all stiff with the cold anc
were nearly dead from exposure. They
had no matches, food nor water ir
the boats and the officers of the
Mariposa say that, they undoubtedly
would have perished from exposure
end hunger before they could read
any habitation or shelter.
On arriving at Juneau the men wen
rounded up by Deputy Marshals Man
nlng and Fossas and, thinking tha
they were bound for the custom
house to report the wreck, they wen
marched to the federal jail and lock
j ed up. Last night they were arraign
j ed before Commissioner N. L. Burtoi
I and the charges against them wer
read to them.
Captain J. E. Koseth was release
on his own recognizance to arrang
for bail which was plac^l at $10
1 for each of the men and $500 fc
each of the officers, other than th
.1 captain. Chief Engineer M. Kenned
