ERSKINE AND HANSEN FINALLY
GET TOGETHERl AND SIGN
WORKING AGREEMENT
KODIAK. Oct., 5. 'Special to the
Gateway)—After much iegal skir
mishing and the exchange of vol
uminous 'A.re correspondence be
tween U. S. Commissioner Stowe of
Kodiak and the U. S. District At
torney’s office at Valdez, during
which the arrest of Capain Magnus
Hansen of the halibut schooner Ex
plorer was sought on the grounds
of piracy on the high seas, the
great question of who shall salvage
the cargo of the wrecked freighter
Golden Forest now seems anne-bly
settled and Captain Hansen is still
on the ship salvaging the cargo.
The controversy started immedi
ately after the big freighter with a
valuable cargo out of San Francis
co for Japan, crashed on he rocks
at Cape Ilktugitak on the west
coast of Shelikof Strait about 30
miles south of Kukak Bay on Sep
tember 11. At htat time it appear
* ed the sea tug Salvage King, which
had been summoned from Seattle
to pull the vessel off when she first
went aground farther to the west
ward, was standing by but was un
able to pull off the Golden Forest
which was jammed solidly on the
reef on her second grounding. The
Explorer was in the vicinity and
Captain Hansen, so he claims, was
deputized to stand by by the master
of the Salvage King which there
upon departed for the south. Capt
tain Hansen immediately began

the work of salvaging the cargo, j
variously estimated at from $200,- i
000 to $500,000.
According to subsequent develop- i
ments the underwriters and owners j
of the Golden Forest appointed W. i
J. Erskine & Co., of Kodiak to act ;
in the matter as their agent and j
both the company and Hansen are |
said to have put in a bid for the j
cargo, wuth Hansen still in posses
sion of the Wreck and proceeding
with the salvage work.
It is further alleged that the j
Erskine company, desiring to gain |
possession sought the arrest of j
Hansen on the piracy charge, act- j
ing thru Attorney Anthony Dimond j
of Valdez, who asked for action by j
the district attorney who requested
of Commissioner Stowe here to is- '
sue a warrant. After investigating
the matter the commissioner de- ,
dined to issue a warrant notifying j
the Valdez office that Hansen seem- j
ed to be operating under ample au- j
thority in standing guard over the
, vessel and in attempting to save as j
! much of the cargo as possible as
salvager.
This method of gaining posses- j
sion having failed the Erskine Co., :
'and Hansen have finally gotten to j
jgether, it is said, and an agreement 1
has been signed under which Han- j
sen is proceeding with his salvage ,
work, which if the weather contin- j
ues favorable wall probably be car- !
ried to a successsful conclusion. In j
the meantime many boats of the j
entire Kodiak district had flocked
to the scene like a flock of gulls, |
hoping to get in on a bountiful !
