PROVIDENCE SENDS
SPUD EM DORY
TO MAROONED MEN
Unspoken prayers were an- |
swered by the wild waves of j
Bering Sea, according to word ;
brought from Egigik on Bristol;
Bay by Alex Jensen who tells
of another big tide there al
most as high as that which
wrecked canneries a year ago.
Mr. Jensen came from the West
ward on the SS Starr and is
stopping at the Seward Hotel.
According to the unusual story
he relates Albert Gabrielson,
known as the “Lucky Swede’’
was out on work for the Road
commission. He was accompa
nied by Ray Nyvoll. Twenty
miles out from Igigik they stopp
ed at a cabin when storm and1
tide beset them and waters en
compassed the house. They only
had a limited grub supply and:
were held marooned for five days |
by the water.
'Pood was gone and the two
men began to get very hungry, j
It didn’t look so good. There j
was a small supply of wood in j
the shed but that was running1
low.
Then it was that Providence
seemed to take a hand and the
“Lucky Swede” was lucky in
deed. On going to the door Gab
brielson was astonished to find
that a skiff had floated amost
to his very doorstep with two
sacks of potatoes. It was after
wards ascertained that the boat
had come from Naknek about 40
miles away.
All the gold mined in the world
since the discovery of America
could be cast into a 35-foot cube.
