miral Evans. when he arrives at Cal
lao, will dispatch the Panther or some
other vessel to rescue Frederick Jeffs,
the American sailor Jeffs Is stranded
on Indefatigable island. the widest
and most inhospitable OF the Gala
pages group of the western coast OF
Ecuador.
Frederick Jeffs is the new Robinson
Crusoe. He is the son of a clothing
merchant in Tacoma, Wash. and has
sister in South Norwalk, Conn. The
state department received news from
It's vice consul, Robert Jones. at
Guayaquil, that he was a castaway,
and Immediately asked the navy de-
partment to go to the rescue.
The official account Of the incident
iS substantially as follows
JefYs was a member OF the crew OF
the Norwegian vessel Alexandra.
bound from Newcastle, South Wales.
To Panama. She was blown on her
course by a storm and went to pieces
near Indefatigable island. Six of the
crew made shore. among them Jeffs.
Marooned Six Months.
The wreck occurred on May 8, 1907,
and from that time until Oct %, 1907.
the six castaways lived in a cave.
There are only few fishermen on
the island, and years pass without a
ship touching II.
! In September five OF the shipwreck-
ed sailors said that they were tired
waiting for a sail on the south side
of the island, and moved into another
cave, on the north side. They urged
Jeffs to accompany them, but he stout
| " refused. An Ecuadorian merchant
man passed the north side OF the Is
land, and the five castaways were
sighted and rescued. Then the news
OF the rescue and OF Jeff's plight was
cabled to the state department
Monster Turtles There.
According TO report, the inhabitants
of Indefatigable island are mainly sea
turtles. lizards and crawflsh. The
sailors had TO barricade their cave.
When JEFF was left by himself he was
In dread of lizards and turtles at night
and in the daytime he had to fight
them on with stick.
Spanish accounts give pictures OF
turtles attacking men armed with mus
kets.
In front of the caves are beds OF
lava and gigantic cactus trees. Farther
back on the island are banana trees.
but these are apparently guarded
night and day by turtles. Jeff Is liv-
Il ing OF what the fishermen give him,
an occasional meal from a cactus
branch and possibly turtle soup.
The Panther will probably reach
JefYs I'm about two weeks.
