Tacoma, Wash, September 1.-THE
schooner Fred E. Sanders was the
bearer Of a romance in which a Klor-
dixie millionaire, a nurse girl and the
schooner's second mate figure. The
nurse girl is Miss Mary Anderson, who
came down from Dawson City on Yu-
kon river boat en- route for her home
in California. On the same boat was
James McNamee, who owns gold claims
and other property in the Klondike
said to be worth million or more.
McNamee who is about 80 years old,
paid marked attention to Miss Ander-
son during the long trip down the
river. When the boat arrived at st.
MichaelS there was no ocean steamer
there to meet her. So McNamee and
Miss Anderson and the other passen-
gers had ten days wait. Then the
schooner Sanders arrived, and Captain
Carlson offered to bring limited num-
Der of passengers to the States. Among
the first to engage passage were Nc
Nance and Miss Anderson.
The Sanders was detained nearly two
weeks at st. Michaels, unloading and
loading cargo. In the meantime Gus
tav Easterberg, the schOOner's second
mate, had become acquainted with Miss
Anderson and had spent much OF his
spare time in her company. Easter
berg was not slow in his love making.
and, although he had less time on his
hands than did McNamee, he found an
opportunity to. ask Miss Anderson to
marry him. She is said to have put
him off, several times, but still gave
him hope. Thus matters stood when

terberg walked the deck of the schoon-
er with Miss Anderson and told her all
about how to sail a ship. He pressed
his suit with so much ardor that Miss
Anderson finally told him that she
was engaged to be married to McNa-
NEE. linen there was a scene. Captain
carlson had to order Easterberg to his
cabin. The second mate kept quiet for
While, but soon came on deck and de-
clared that he would wreck the schoon-
er and drown everyone on board. 1t
was with difficulty that he was re-
strained from carrying out his threat.
Easterberg's next move was to write
letters to himself, signing Miss Ander-
sons name to them, and showing them
to McNamee. This trickery had the
desired effect, and the McNamee-An-
derson engagement was broken off.
Since arriving in port McNamee has
made generous offer to Miss Ander-
son. He has agreed to send her to
college, pay all her expenses for two
years and allow her to marry whom she
pleases. Miss Anderson has apparent
ly accepted the proposition and Eas-
terberg is said to be satisfied with the
arrangement.
