Sliding Door On
Ship Wes Mystery
During the past winter a group
•f white Russians visited the iced
*3 schooner Nanuk at North Cape,
Pilot Frank Dorbandt of the,
Alaska Airways, was remarking
Mere the other day, which was
*he first time in 300 years that
this particular group, or tribe,
tjad seen a ship or seen other
people other than their own.
They were more or less familiar
with the appearance of canoes,
«r dug-outs, but not vessels with
cabins.
And so it happened upon their
•arrival at the Nanuk that every
member of the crew, as well as
others, were below deck; so seeing
no one the white Russians turned
about and headed back towards •
their home the other side of an
inland range, but before going far :
4heir presence was discovered and
they were induced to return. ,
One instance struck the Amer
icans as exceptionally funny the
#ame being that it happened that
a group of the white Russians 1
were in a cabin by themselves and >
wanted to go on deck but they '
could not solve the mysteries of <
a closed sliding-door. i

Eielson, seated upon his left, Mr
Shonbeck added: “Dad here, feel:
very, very sentimental about these
Russians for the wonderful wort
they have accomplished.’’
LEON IIRBACII
Leon Urbach, president of the
Seward Chamber of Commerce
then took the floor saying; “for
the benefit of Mr. Shonbeck 1
have already asked Captain Reid
to inform our Russian friends
that we will make it our business
to look for their return here, and
entertain them and to further
demonstrate in every way within
our rower our appreciation which
Alaskans, and the United States
hold for them and Russia. Just
one more word for Mr. Eielson.
Never before in the history of
Alaska has their been such sym
pathy extended as has and is to
dr. Ole Eielson, in the loss of his
son Carl, and his lieutenant, Earl
Borland.”
Mayor McMullen arose again to
say that Mr. Fahreg has already
agreed to wire Seward from Cor
dova. their approximate time of
return.
MR. MACAU LEY
Mechanician Macauley, one of
Canadian group, then revealed the
source, or rather, several versions
A the source, of the decoration
idorning his left eye—very black.
‘It is hard to beat Alaskan avia
tors,” Macauley said, “and, if we
lave contributed anything to the
termination of this tragic Alaska
episode, we are glad; any flier
vould have come to assist in the
•escue. I wash also to extend to
dr. Eielson and to Alaska my
leepest sympathy for their very
;reat loss of these two aviators
vith true pioneer spirit.
Captain Reid then called the
ittention of the assemble that

COLONEL OIILSON
i Right along at this point, or
I thereabouts, some one said some- j
thing about Macauley wanting one !
! of the new Alaska Steamshp Co-, j
maps, contained in their 1930 j
j folder, so Colonel Ohlson again ;
arose saying "in behalf of the \
Alaska Railroad he would be de- i
lighted to send each of the avia
tors a large map of Alaska, pro
I viding they leave him their ad
dresses.”
CAPTAIN JOHANSEN
. “Seward people are hard to get
up this evening,” Captain Johan
sen took occasion to remark, j
“To begin with after a few of the !
nations of the world had come;
out to the North Pacific, it was J
Russia which finally opened up -
ths vast area, developed and drew j
charts of the North Pacific. When j
we stop to think of Captain Bar
ranof, who was sent here by the 1
Czarina, exploring and building;
a ship and after four or five years j
returned again with additional'
material to build two more vessels, j
taking him three more years, and
| with orders to sail south then to :
| eastward, we can not help but j
marvel. With the two ships the!
voyage began but during a gale j
j one night the ships became separ- ■
ated, one reaching Sitka Sound. 1
the other, Chumagin Island. The \
first small boat sent ashore at j
Sitka did not return so a second ;
was sent; this, and the crew,,also ji
failed to return. Smoke ashore | j
had first attracted attention and 11
where smoke was there also would j
be found people. But,” Capt- Jo->1
hansen stated, “as all know the j1
natives wrere then cannibals and , ‘
decoyed the two crews ashore and ;
done away with them- At Chuma
gin island the natives proved;
quite friendly and canoes by the j
hundred welcomed the ship.
“These things prove the wonder- i
ful attitude of the Russians and j
the natives loved them. We have
