DISCOVERER DEI
AFTER ROUGHEST
TRIP OF HISTORY
PERILOUS SHOALS ALMOST
CAUGHT VESSEL AT
PORT DICK
After the worse trip he has
ever made in these waters, and
when jfriends here had begun
to consider the advisability of
sounding an alarm, Capt. Heinie
.Berger with the Motorship Dis
coverer, arrived in the Port of
Seward early this morning from
.Anchorage.
He had been. tied up two days
v i
at Port Dick, buffeted about by I
the waves and blinded by snow I
squalls. In the midst of a blind- I
mg storm he was compelled to j
drop anchor after circling for'
hours at lowest speed. When the
•weather cleared, they found!
themselves entirely surrounded
by shoals. “I surely had my rab- j
bit’s foot with me, that time,” j
laid HS ’.'tain Berger.
Tiic ** erci left Anchorage j
Saturday afternoon, and trou- j
ble lay in wait for them at once.;
“We bucked ice for 2a miles or j
from Anchorage to Point Poss-!
ession. After leaving Seldoviaj
ne ran into all kinds of weatli- j
er, and all of it worse. It v .the
toughest voyage I ever saw. I
hear the ice is solid there now.” ■
Cap:, hi Berger seated he en-!
joyed an excellent season on the
Inlet and was kept busy through
out the season.
Besides the two members of j
the crew, aside irom the cap
tain, there was one passenger,
Miss Gladys Leary of Anchor
age, who came to visit in Sew
trd a few days and who will re
turn by train.
The Discoverer brought some
mail from Seldovia and Portloek.
Captain Berger spoke of hav
ing been notified two weeks ago
of the disappearance of Capt.
Charles Emsweiler. He said that
he notified two boats carrying
two trappers each who are on
their way to Shuyak Island at
the north end of Afognak. These
men will search and if Emsweil
•er is there, will of course give
him what assistance they may.
He had also taken trappers to
Barren Island last month and
spoke to them again this trip
but they had not heard or seen
anything of the missing mari
ner.
“If he is not on Barren or Shu
yak, there is one chance in a I
thousand of his being alive,”
said Berger. “Any search now
would seem to be almost help
less, although if the authorities
should so direct, I could possibly
be of some service.”
The Discoverer will wait until
the SS Yukon arrives and will
then depart with the mail for
Portloek, Seldovia and Kenai;
probably Saturday. There is a
quantity of freight now on the
local dock for these points. For
the remainder of the winter and
until spring, the Discoverer will
operate from this port, special
charters, etc., as in the past.
