night he entered three residences and, al
though he had splendid opportunities to
carry away with him much valuable sill

dressed in neat black suit, a derby hat,
white shirt, high collar and a natty tie.
He had removed his shoes and to prevent
surprises, locked the male sleepers in
their rooms.

SCHOONER DRIFTS
WITH ICE PACK
Fate Of the HalcyOn
and Captain Charles
Thomas.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORT TOWNSEND, Oct. 25-With the
arrival of the United States revenue cut
ter Bear from The north comes news of
another tragedy in the Arctic seas whicn
solves the mystery of the disappearance
of the schooner Halcoyn and the death
of Captain Charles Thomas.
The schooner Halcyon sailed from
Seattle early in 1900 on a trading AMI
on board six persons-Captain Charles
Thomas and Louis Picotte, the owners OF
the schooner; William A. Egan, two
brothers named Ballard and proSpector
named Young After trading and pros
pecting along the Alaska coast Nome
was reached on November 3, a supply OF
schooner started norIhward for Teller
City. When off Sledge Island the schooLer
was becalmed, and, cold weather setting
in, she found harself surrounded by slush
ice. Before she could get free the ice
became solid and the craft was carried
into the main pack and with it driftel
southeast until a point many miles off
Norton Sound was reached. Then the
current carried the ice pack and schooner
westward until near st. Lawrence Island,
which point was reached on January s.
While the schooner was drifting.
Picotte, the Ballard brothers and Young
left the schooner in a small boat, which
they dragged some distance over the ice.
A narrow channel was found and they
succeeded in reaching shore near Topkuk.
The other two, preferring to take chances
where they had provisions, remained with

more serious and Captain Thomas and
Egan abandoned her and succeeded III
reaching an island, bringing with them
what provisions they could carry. Cap
tain Thomas found the island unin-
habited, and. against the protests OF
Egan, returned to the vessel. Since that
time nothing has been heard of the
schooner or Captain Thomas.
Egan, after being left alone on the
island wandered up along the northern
shore With supplies exhausted and he
in an almost perishing condition, with his
feet frozen, he was rescued when within
forty miles of Gamble Mission by a
native and taken to the mission, arriving
there sixteen days after he had left the
schooner The mission doctor amputateJ
Egans toes, and when he recovered he
entered the employ of the Government as
reindeer herder at st. Lawrence.
Captain Thomas was member of the
Seamen's Union in San Francisco. His
relatives reside in Ohio.
