the steamer Crescent City.
The survivors report that they endured
great hardships and were reduced to such
circums apces as to be compelled to eat
the flesh OF their dead comrades. Four
men were drowned by boat capsizing
and two died of starvation. Fifteen more

Subsequently storm arose, and while
attempting to effect landing one boat

They landed On Sequin Island, near Attai.
Not being able 10 find any ma

voun teers to go to Unalaska for assist

getting the requisite number to undertake
the voyage. They left fifteen men, mostly
of foreign birth, on the island, and sailed
eastward. About ten days later they fell

The lady said in an interview published
