Oldtimers in the Port Heiden anc
Port Moller area claim that at on(

of this belief they point to the deei:

'IBOEOSLOF, THE "LOST
I Alaska's Island of mystery!
The Island which in 1912 rose
from the depths of the frigid Ber
ling Sea and in 1925 was joined by
a second mound of sea-bottom,
j Thousands of roaring sea lions
and millions of fowl on wing, all
1 stirred into motion by sharp blasts
from the steamer Starr’s whistle.
i This was the sight which the for
Ilunate passengers on the just com
pleted voyage of the mail steamer
witnessed when Capt. Carl E. An
derson. master, decided to give
all a real treat! Something which
would forever recall to mind the
trip Westward, so steamed many
! miles off his course to the island
which he slowly circled, the vessel
dancing about on the surge of the
gentle rollers while the skipper
» played a musical score with the
!1 deep-throated whistle.
Look it up on the map; north,
northwest of Cape Tanak, Umnak
Island.
The famous volcanic island is not
large, probably half a mile in
length and a couple of city blocks
in width at the widest part- In a
I way, it looks like one island with a
, rock on the end but as the steamer
draws close in it can be seen that
it is joined by a narrow reef-like
beach. Rising from the water’s
edge the slope runs into what looks
like an inverted bowl from which
!jets of steam lazily curl upward
| from dozens of fumeroles-this can
be likened to a big steaming plum
pudding. The gradual rise con
tinues then abruptly comes another
| prominence atop of which are sev
eral smaller blocks of rock resem
bling sentinels.
Last year, Capt. Anderson stat
ed, Mr cliffs top was surmounted

Viking’s headgear; but not so now.
Glancing down towrard the base of
ithe cliff lies thousands of tons of
rock which evidently formed the
iVi king’s “brown derby”. Then

The waves pounding ashore end
jin gigantic combers whipped a
beautiful snow-white upon a mag- !
nificent black sand beach. Viewing
!this beach brings to mind the <
beach of Waikiki for here, on Bog
oslof, the surf-board rider would ;
have a thrill of a lifetime.
What at first seemed to be thous- !
ands of rocks on the beach and on j
the ridge of the plateau, suddenly
I sprung to life —sea lions—upon j
hearing the series of whistle blasts!
let loose upon the stillness except
for the musical cadence of the surf, j
I What a moment before was a most
peaceful scene is instantly turned
I into one of mad frenzy as Captain j
Anderson hangs onto the whistle I
cord. The full-throated roar of
j thousands of sea lions howling in
unison fairly shatters the atinos-j
phere.
And in the brief lulls the click
and whirr of the still and moving
picture cameras penetrate.
The first blast of the whistle was ;
also the signal for millions of birds j
to soar aloft blotting out the sun’s
iwarm rays and almost obliterating
| the island from view. Nestling at
j the foot of the steaming upthrust is
iglimpsed a gleaming, yellow lake;
sulphur, no doubt.
The cameras continue to snap as
I troops of sealions loped down the
beach and into the surf with sur
prising speed, then to plunge into
a breaker and so on out to the
i depths. Once, an entire battalion
swept toward the steamer as if to J
attack, only to turn and dive, j
floundering among themselves.
As the last point slowly passes to j
the rear, heads rise from the sea; |
on land the massive brutes rear up
high for one last look at the pest, j
which, for a moment, had upset!
their domestic life, their harems,
and the play of the little ones.

j To the northeast of Port Heiden
there is a small clump of lofty
mountains in which, oldtimers of
ithat vicinity claim, should eouuun
