VIC FLEISCHMAN
JOINED THE NAVY
ON APRIL 18IH
Ed Cronin, chairman of the Ne
nana Local Board, received a tele
gram this morning from the com
manding officer of the naval train
ing station, Seattle, which reads as
follows:
"Victor Fleischman enrolled this
station April 18th, with release
Seattle Board Six; notification to
local board mailed you April 19th.”
This clears a very worthy and
patriotic young man of the stigma
of being a deserter and his name has
accordingly been removed from the
list of deserters made up by the Ne
nana local board. The notification
of induction referred to in the wire
from the officer commanding, naval
training station, Seattle; as having
been mailed on April 19th, has not
yet been received in Nenana.
At the time the list of deserters
was made up for publication, the
local board, as well as his many
friends in Nenana knew that Victor
Fleischman had entered the service,
but, in the absence of any notice of
induction or other official communi
cation to this effect, the local board
had no option but to publish the
name, together with the others of
whose movements no advice had
been received .
It is thought that Howard Curtis,
the former chairman of the Nenana
local board, issued the necessary per
mit to Fleischman to enable him to
go Outside and enter the service
by voluntary induction, but there
is no record of the transaction here.
It is possible that Curtis had over
looked making a note of this in the
records of the local board.
Ed Cronin, the present chairman
of the Nenana local board, wired
on July 14 to the Seattle local board
regarding young Fleischman, but got
no reply; he then on the 17th of
the same month, wired to the execu
tive officer of the navy yard, Seattle,
and this message also remained un
answered. On August 23rd Chair
man Cronin again wired; this time
to the Bremerton local board, and
after some delay received a reply
indicating that the local board there
had no record of such a man. Re
cently another wire was sent to the
Officer Commanding, Naval Station,
Seattle, requesting information re
garding Fleischman and inquiring
why his enrollment was not pre
viously reported, as the registrant
has been shown as a deserter. The
reply to this wire was received this
morning, as shown at the beginning
of this article.
Owing possibly to a failure by a
former member of the board to put
on record the permission granted
him, and largely to the red tape
governing transactions of this na
ture, a very worthy and loyal Ameri
can was temporarily listed as a de
serter owing to no fault of his.
In addition to the wires sent re
garding young Fleischman, Chair
man Cronin, of the local board, also
wrote several letters to Vic Fleisch
man, addressing them to the care
of the Frye hotel, which was the ad
dress given him when Victor left
Nenana for the States. These let
ters have been returned to the local
board.
Victor Fleischman and his brother
Carl are both in the service of their
country. Their parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Tobias Fleischman are well
known and respected citizens of
Fairbanks, where both of the boys
were practically brought up. They
count a great many friends, both
in Fairbanks and in Nenana, who
1 j will be glad to hear that the stigma
I of being a deserter, which was at no
I time deserved, has now been re
moved.

PASSENGER ON
LAUNCH FLYER
IELLS OF TRIP
Peter Jensen, Who Got Off At
Wood River, Tells of Passengers
On Board Launch.
Peter Jensen, one of the men
who took passage on the launch
Flyer on her ill-fated trip, and who
got off at Wood river, returned to
town yesterday in a poling boat
when he heard of the accident to
the launch. .
Jensen says that the launch was
not travelling at a very high rate
of speed and the trip from Nenana
to Wood river consumed one hour
and forty minutes, which, in his
opinion, is not as good time as this
launch has hitherto made.
The Flyer, he says, had a canvas
covering all around it, also at the
stern end, fastened on the outside.
A glass shield forward and flush
with the forward deck of the boat
could be easily let down for the
purpose of ingress and egress. Im
mediately aft of this shield, on the
starboard bow, there was a small
opening in the canvas covering
through which one could get out by
diving head first; a similar opening
was also available on the same side
of the boat at its after end and
next to the seat occupied by Mrs.
Hawley Sterling.
The engine of the launch took up
much of the space in the center of
the boat and extending slightly aft.
The space between the engine and
the hull of the boat on the star
board side was used as a passsage
way and for luggage; the space on
the port side was taken up by the
exhaust, magneto and the fittings
of the engine. The position of the
passengers, as described by Jensen,
was as follows:
Immediately back of the wind
shield, seated on some baggage, were
Richards and Jensen on the port
and starboard side respectively, Jen
sen being immediately next to the
small opening in the canvas cover,
which though fastened, could have
been easily opened; immediately be
hind Jensen in the starboard pass
ageway between the engine and the
hull, Craig was said to have been
in a reclining position on some bag
gage. Next "to the engine at the
after end, on the port side, the
“Hungry Kid” sat at the steering
wheel. On the seat immediately be
hind the “Hungry Kid” was Mrs.
Craig and her child; abreast of her
on the starboard side was Helen
Moulton. George Coleman was seat
ed behind Mrs. Craig and Mrs. Ster
ling sat behind Helen Moulton. Mrs.
Sterling’s seat was immediately next
to the canvas flap opening at the
after end of the boat.
As a possible cause of the acci
dent, Jensen favors the same theory
as advanced by Fred Douse, and
thinks that the shaft of the boat
was forced up by the shock of the
impact when the boat grounded and
that the rapidly revolving propellor
tore a great hole in the stern end
of the boat before the engine came
to a stop. The boat on drifting
off the bar, sinking by the stern.
Asked as to whether Mrs. Craig
had a life preserver on when leav
ing Xenana, Jensen says he did not
notice it. She may have had one
on under her coat he thinks, but has
no recollection of seeing her with
I
one on.
Joe Johnson, of the launch Peer
; less, is of the same opinion as Douse
: and Jensen as to the probable cause
of the disaster, and the finding of
■ the wrecked boat will alone estab
i lish the means of her destruction.
No word has been received, so far,
; from the scene of the salvage oper
| ations. The steamer Shusana is
| expected to arrive on the scene
i sometime to^ay, when the big grab
i hooks, recently sent out from Fair
banks, will be used to drag the
river for the hull and the bodies of
the victims.
There are about forty-five men
engaged in the rescue and salvage
work now, and more expect to go
there later. Hawley Sterling was up
at Fairbanks this morning for sup
plies and returned to Hadley’s in
j about an hour’s time.
