BODIES RECOVERED
LATE IN EVENING
Many People Were Eye Witnesses to
Anchorage Tragedy—Were Un
able To Assist the Boys.
The bodies of Robert Patterson and
Scheiber Elliott, Anchorage youths
who drowned Tuesday afternoon in
Ship Creek when a pontoon in which
they were playing capsized, were
recovered last Tuesday evening,
according to Seward arrivals last eve
ning from Anchorage. The body of
Robert Patterson was found at 10 p.
m., and that of Elliott, 15 nTinutes la
ter. The body of one of the boys was
found lodged in a fish net which had
been stretched across the stream, and
the other drowned boy was located
on the creek bottom. Roth bodies
were taken to Williams’ Mortuary.
Further details as to the accident
were brought to Seward last night. It
is stated that all three boys, the two
dead youths and Malcolm McKinnon
who was playing with them and swam
ashore, after being precipitated in the
creek, were all good swimmers, but
the suddenness of the shock of fall
ing into the cold waters evidently
frightened them so that it overpower
ed them. According to the report re
ceived Malcolm, who was quite larger
than his playmates, endeavored to as
sist both but their frantic movements
so hampered him that he was forced
to exert all of his strength in reach
ing the remainder of the distance to
the shore. Little Robert Patterson
had also lent aid to the younger
Schieber lad and was not far from
shore with him when they both sank.
Robert Carlson and John Seibenthal
er, two other Anchorage school boys
were off some distance in a canoe and
an attempt to reach the scene in time
to render aid proved futile. A num
ber of others were said to be eye wit
nesses of the accident.

dock, near by, wrere watching the boys

A pair of shoe-pacs and socks, a piece

three caps were later picked up from
the water.
