EXPEDITION IS 5EITTLE
SEATTLE, Sept. 18— Reporting a
tale of hardship and privation in Si
beria where they were held prisoners
for some time by the Soviet govern
ment, a party of five Seattle miners
who went into the Arctic with 23 oth
ers in the spring of 1922 to search for
gold arrived here yesterday steerage
from Japan. The men are Geo. Cre
mer, Arthur Marlatt, Geflrge Askin,
Andrew Nelson and Richard Smith.
Cremer said that when the expedi
tion finally escaped from Siberia and
reached Japan the party divided. He
expressed fears that several of the or
iginal party who were in Tokio met
death during the earthquake and fire.
The expedition landed on Russian
soil 18 months ago at Anadir, mem
bers of the party said. Alter spend
ing $60,000 searching for gold and
finding none, the men were arrested
on technical charges but were finally
permitted to go to Japan.
