CONGRESSMAN
PLUNGES INTO
GROUSE LAKE
BANK AT GROUSE LAKE CAVES
IN HURLING CALIFORNIAN
INTO ICE WATERS
0 L’ SWIMMIN’ HOLE
Fisheries Commissioner O’Malley and
Congressman W. H. White, jr.
Stand By.
“The ‘banks’ of Alaska are very un
staple, but there assets are very li
quid,” laughingly remarked Congress
man A. M. Free, Saturday afternoon
following a plunge into Grouse lake
> when unexpectedly, the bank on
> which he was standing while taking
snapshots of the fish trap, gave way
precipitating him into the deep lake
with a large splash. Mr. Free hung
onto the camera, holding it out of the
water with one arm while he endeav
ored to swim back to the shore pro
pelling with his other arm. Making
poor headway in this manner he
heaved the camera ashore and struck
out with a breast stroke, crashing
out with a breast stroke, swells
, rolling off and back, and as in about
two shakes of a lamb’s tail, his feet
were once more planted on terra
firm a.
O’Malley At Hand.
Commissioner of Fisheries Henry
O’Malley appeared in the role of a
hero when he “stood by” with a plank
and piece of rope, with his coat and
hat off, ready to jump in to the assist
ance of the spluttering Congressman,
were help needed. Congressman Wal
lace H. White, jr., was also at hand
ready at a moments notice to extend
a helping hand. It was seen at once,
however, that as far as swimming
ability was concerned, Congressman
Free was a close rival to Cham John
ny Weismuller and Duke.
All Have Laugh.
With the arrival of the wet Con
gressman ashore it marked the signal
for burst of laughter from his co-part
ners and friends, in which Congress
man Free himself heartily joined in.
He came into town shortly after and
changed into dry clothes, apparently
none the worse off for his adventure.
Thought Salmon Leaped.
Speaking of the incident, Harry E.
Ellsworth, distinct fish commissioner
of Seward, who motored the party
out to the hatchery, said he was in
the lead as they were winding their
way about the lake wrhen suddenly he
heard a loud splash back of him.
Turning slowly he thought to him
self, “Gee that certainly wras a large
salmon jumping.” A survey of the
waters showed only receding ripples
when all of a sudden up popped Con
gressman Free from the bottom of the
lake, taking air in lusty gulps. “I was
astounded,” Mr. Ellsworth said, “but
before any of us could turn a hand,
Mr. Free shouted out he wTas all
right.”
SEAGOING SEA-COOK
SEASICK, IN SEWARD
—
A seasick cook was brought into
port yesterday morning on the hali
but schooner Pioneer, Captain W. An
derson, which arrived from Ketchi
kan in 65 hours running time. The
cook, Fred Ely, a Canadian subject, a
man about 50 or 60 years young,
signed on at Ketchikan, but had nev
er been to sea before. Though the
run out of Ketchikan to sea was
good the slight rolling of the vessel
made him deathly ill and so grave
became his condition that fears vrere
held as to his recovery, with the
result the direct run to Seward was
made. The Pioneer departed last
night for Sawmill Bay to pick up
bait following which Captain An
derson will go to the halibut banks.
Prior to the vessel’s departure
from Ketchikan, halibut was selling
at lOcents. The day previous, when
the Pioneer sold her load halibut
was selling for 11 and 5 cents. Pro
viding the price could be secured in
Seward for their cargo, Captain An
derson said there would be no ques
tion as to thefr coming into this
port to dispose of their fish. There
are 12 men on this schooner.
Jack McCord, well known Alaskan
who is now engaged in putting the
Iniskin oil region on the map, was a
eward arrival Saturday.
