Strandd Fisherman Lives Fourteen
Days on Grabs and a Seal.

FROM the Seattle Times.
After battling with the elements for
-FOUR days in an open boat, August
hocht, a fisherman of the schooner

schooner Alice, codfshng boat from

weak from hunger and cold that he
could barely creep on his hands and
knees and wave the signal of distress
which brought him assistance
On board the Alice, Kochts was fed
with whisky and milk and his swollen
limbs rubbed with alcohol. 1t was six
days before he was able to stand upon

the point where he was picked up
kocht was turned over to the schooner
STANLEY, and yesterday arrived in port
on, board that vessel
While fishing forced Nav 10 off the
island of u nimak, the dory which
kocht occupied was swept away from
the schooner Stanley by a terrific
southWester. For four days the dis
tressed fisherman battled with the
waves. One of the oars broke under
the strain of the second day, and he
drifted helplessly.
Then the dory capsized half a mile
