IN SEARCH FOR
FLYER VICTIMS
Diligent Search Continues Unabated
For Boat and Victims; No
Further Results Reported.
Norman Hadley’s lonely camp on
the bank of the Tanana river, a few
miles below the now famous 12-mile
bar, is now a scene of great activity;
and a small sized tent city for the
accommodation of the searchers has
sprung up there. The once quiet
waterfront in the immediate vicinity,
of his cabin is now the mooring
grounds of quite a fleet of non- j
descript craft, ranging from boats!
of the size of the Northern Light
to the humble birch bark canoe, i
who come to rest only during the'
dark hours when further search be-'
comes impracticable.
There are about 40 men, including
the telegraph operator, encamped
there, and an untiring search for |
the bodies of the unfortunate pass
engers of the Flyer, and for the
hull of the wrecked boat is being
kept up. The searchers are work
ing under the direction of Tom Blay
lock and Walter Fisher. The waters ■
in the neighborhood of the camp
and for miles above and below it,
literally swarm with craft of various,
descriptions and every known device
for dragging the river bottom is1
being tried in an effort to solve the
mystery of the disaster and recover
the bodies of the victims.
As occasion demands it, a launch
is detached from the fleet and des
patched to Fairbanks for gear and
supplies and on its return, invariably
brings a welcome addition to the
searchers. The Northern Commercial
company have given the searching
parties “carte blanche” insofar as
supplies, gear and equipment is con
cerned, even to a supply of cigars
and tobacco for the use of the
searchers, these being gladly sup
plied, free of cost, by the big com
pany.
The Pioneers of Alaska, Fairbanks
Igloo, will, it is thought succeed in
chartering the steamer Shusana for
this errand of mercy, and she will p
prove a very valuable and welcome
addition to the searching fleet. No
stone will remain unturned until the
mystery is solved or the freezeup
compels a suspension of operations, j
Fred Douse on the launch Victory,
arrived in Nenana yesterday; lie,
called at the camp at Hadley’s oil '
his way down and landed some sup-1
plies and a new set of batteries
and telegraph instruments for the
operator stationed there. On his
way down to Nenana, in a quiet
eddy on the first bend below Wood
river, he found a life preserver of i
the type in common use on river;
steamers and launches. There was |
nothing on it to indicate its owner- j
ship, but is thought to be one of j
the life preservers belonging to the
ill-fated Flyer.
Fred Douse advances the theory
that the Flyer may have struck hard
on 8-mile bar, the impact throwing
the passengers forward in a heap
on top of the “Hungry Kid” at the
wheel. The shaft, he thinks, was
forced up, causing the rapidly re
volving propellor to tear a large
hole in the stern of the boat before
the engine stopped; the bow being
clear of the bar, was swung around
by the current and the boat was
carried to deep water, where she
sank by the stern. This theory is
borne out, he says, by the position
of the hull when seen by Norman
Hadley. Several theories have been
advanced, and the finding of the
bull and a close examination of it
will alone disclose the cause of the
great disaster.
A brief message from the oper
ator at Hadley’s camp this morning
:ontained the news that a ball of yarn
with knitting needles, and a lady’s
aat were the only things that re
warded the searchers up to the time
:he message was sent. The hat has
jeen identified as belonging to Mrs.
”raig. It was found just below
12-mile bar.
A report from Fairbanks, received
ate this afternoon, says that a man
-lamed Pete Jenkins got off the
aunch Flyer at Wood river and went
HUN FOOD LAWS
POOR HELPLESS
NEW YORK.—Starvation would j
be the portion probably of the larger j
German cities did they not increase
their scanty stores through “illegal!
trading", Deputy Von Herzburg-Lot
tum said in a food debate in the
Prussian lower house, according to
the Berlin Tageblatt.
“The larger cities of Germany
are obtaining one-quarter of their
necessary stock of foodstuffs through
illegal trading—without that they
would starve,” the deputy asserted.
“The increasing severity of pen
alities heighten the risk of indulg
ing in secret trading and raising
prices,” he continued." There are
now 100,000 persons employed in
the war food administration and
that under the circumstances we
deliver 30 eggs per year per person 1
is really no heroic deed.”
Other speakers told of pitable1
conditions in Autsria-Hungary. J
Count Stolberg said:
“I have seen now in Austria that
the rich man has everything, the
poor man nothing. It is a pity to
see how the poor people there are
suffering from hunger. In compari
son to conditions there, things in
our country are much better.”
“In Budapest, in rich Hungary,
the poor wait in line all night for
the 30-gram fat ration, and then
they don’t receive it, Major Koch
of Cassel, said.
The illegal or secret trading re
ferred to probably means that the
German cities violate the law which
fixes a maximum price for food and
prohibits consumers from paying
more than that price. German offi
cials have attempted to stop such
violations by some cities.
on up that stream on a prospecting
trip. It is believed that he may
be able to throw some light towards
the solution of the mystery in con
nection with the great disaster, and
efforts are now’ being made to get
him back.
