SEUS TO RESCUE
MASTER OF SHIP DESCRIBES
HEROISM AND RESCUE OF
MEN; ONE DROWNED
NEW YORK, Dec., 10, (/P)_In a
roaring gale a lifeboat with the
crew from the steamship Baltic
fought thru tremendous seas and
rescued five of the crew of six
aboard the schooner Northern
Light which was reported missing a
week ago.
Word of a rescue accomplished
70 miles from a point in the Atlan
tic where the steamship Republic,
on the previous day, had saved 11
men from another fishing boat was
received from Capt. J. Kearney in
a Laconic message characteristic of
dispatches from a ship’s master in
describing heroism. It merely said
the Baltic had rescued 'a lifeboat
which had to be left adrift after
saving the men because of high
seas and that Rex Parson, 20-year
old seaman of the Northern Light
had been drowned.
FOUND DEAD ON REACH
Mrs. Katherine Snappe, an In
dian woman of Juneau, was found
dead on the beach above Douglas.
Dressed in a heavy plush coat and
rubber boots, the dead woman may
have fallen into the bay and
drowned, and been wached up by
the tide, it was thought. She has
been missing for a week from the
home of Jack Henry where she was
housekeeper. The deceasd is a
daughter of Mrs. James Hollywood
•f Sitka. She was 46 years old.

Accurate shooting and the speed
of his nether limbs saved Ed Hibier,

and possibly death from a big
brown bear. He only had time foi
one shot before the brute was al
most on top of him.
