CAPTAIN OF ISKUM TELLS OF
ADVENTURES IN SIBERIA
( By Associated Press)
Nome,—A story of duplicity, double
dealing and peculiar actions of swash
buckling of soviet representatives,
who boarded his ship at Sand Point,
Siberia, June 4, and assumed charge
of her is told here by Capt. E. Putta,
of the trading schooner Iskum, which
arrived here last Wednesday after
overpowering the soviet guards plac
ed aboard the Iskum to hold the ves
sel and fled from Anadir to Nome.
The Iskum was interned six weeks by
the red authorities and reached here
with the youthful armed guards from
the red army praying that they be not
returned to Russia for fear of losing
their lives. It is believed the Russians
will be taken to Tacoma if possible.
Cause of Trouble
A message from the coast guard
cutter Bear reporting the flight of the
Iskum from Siberia says the present
Russian trade regulations designate
Petropavlovsk and Vladivostok as the
ports of entry in Siberia. All vessels
trading there are required to obtain a
license in the above mentioned ports,
and the government has a monopoly
on all furs, all traders being required
to sell turs to the government and the
Hudson Bay company is agent for the
government for furs in the London
market.
Americans in Danger
Putta toid a graphic story, declar
ing that among other things are a num |
ber of Americans at Anacir living in
daily fear of their lives, and praying
each day that an American revenue
cutter will take them away.
Putta stated the Iskum was board
ed at Sand Point by three Russians,
heavily armed. The leader said his
name was Burke, and that he repre
sented the soviet government. He de
manded to see the ship’s papers. After
seeing them Burke declared the Is
kum could not trade without a liscense
and could obtain a license at East
Cape or Anadir. Putta said he secured
a temporary license at Anadir, but
traders and natives refused to deal
with him, having been ordered by
Eurke not to do so. Burke, who had
been carried hospitably on the Iskum
from Sand Point, resorted to double
dealing, £nd the Iskum, after six
weeks, made a break from Anadir,
where she went from East Cape, over
powered the guards and took them to
Nome.
