n ICITIC EXPLORER
now nemihg gum
In a wire received by the marshal’s
office from Fort Yukon the advice is
given that a messenger named An
thony had arrived from Rami>art
House, three hundred miles away,
bearing the intelligence that Explorer
Vilhjamur Stefansson was seriously
ill with typhoid-pneumonia at his
camp at Herschel Island. Anthony
was four days on the trip, traveling
night and day, in order to make fast
time.
Upon receipt of the news Dr. Graf
ton Burke, located at Fort Yukon, im
mediately made preparations to make
the trip to the stricken explorer. A
party consisting of Anthony, the mes
senger, and other inhabitants of tlfe
Yukon town, Ott, Jones, Allen, and
a native who knwos the country, left
with all possible haste for the Arctic
regions.
Besides the men, five dog teams
were taken along, and the party will
travel night and day in order to reach
the sufferer’s side before it is too late
to aid him. Carrying only the neces
sary provisions and a light camping
j outfit, the men .will work the relay
i system of carrying one or probably
two dog teams in empty sleds in or
der to have a fresh team at command
for ready relief. They confidently ex
pect to make the 650 intervening
miles in about ten days.
The report of Anthony states that
the explorer was very low at the
time the messenger left Herschel
island, and grave doubts are ex
pressed as to whether the noted and
intrepid Stefansson will be alive on
the arrival of the relief party. Many
cases of typhoid-pneumonia are re
ported at Herschel island, and Dr.
Burke made preparations to meet any
possible emergencies that might arise
out of the reported cases.
It is probable that the party will
make the trip by way of the Old Crow
river to the Arctic divide and down
the Firth river, at the mouth of which
Herschel island lies.—Fairbanks Citi

NORTHLAND AGAIN SAILS
IN ALASKAN ITERS
The famous old Northland, which
: was wrecked at Kake and lay on
;the bottom of the bay for so long a
couple of years ago, is again on the
northern run, flying the flag of the
Admiral line. The Northland was
purchased from the Pacific Steamship
Company and was remodeled consid
erably. The ship can now carry 500
tons under decks and has the reputa
tion of being able to get away with i
the biggest tonnage below decks of
any boat of her size. The Northland
is now named the Admiral Nicholson,
and left Seattle recently for Chatham
strait cannery stops.
The Northland was operated for
many years by the old Northland
Steamship Company. She was the
first boat put in operation by that
concern. Later she proved too small
for the business and was cut in two
and lengthened. When the Border
Line company took over the holdings
of the Northland Steamship Company
the Northland was included in the
deal. She was wrecked once in Ton
gass narrows, above Ketchikan, and
again at Kake. The last wreck came
near being her finish, as considerable
difficulty was experienced in raising
the ship.
The wreck was caused by a heavy
deckload causing the steamship to li4t
and water filled her through open
ports. She sank in deep water and
was abandoned by the underwriters.
Later the British Columbia Salvage
Company undertook to raise her. After
they got her to the top she slid out
of the slings and again sank, this
time sticking deep in the mud. They
raised her again, and an explosion
and fire occurred on board from the
fuel oil which covered the inside of
the vessel.
Their last attempt to get the ship
to the top was successful, and she is
again plowing the waters of the North.
There is an old saying in marine cir
cles that the Northland will go any
where and into any kind'of a harbor,
calling at many points where other
ships are unable to call.
