on A DESERT ISLE,
Fisherman Cast Away In Pacific
Lands on Unimak.
FOUR DAYS IN. OPEN BOAT.

Then Two Weeks More In Sandy Soil.
.tude With Nothing to Eat but a
Dead Grab and the Carcass Of a Sea-
Washed Up by the Sea.
After battling with the elements fo1
four days in an open boat August
Kocht, a fisherman Of the schooner
Stanley and formerly a dragon in the
cars army, was stranded in the Pa
cifc ocean on the desert island Of Uni
max, where he existed for fourteen
days on a crab and the carcass of 8
seal which he found there.
When he was picked up by the
schooner Alice, a codfshing boat from
Seattle, which had put into Dublin
bay for a supply Of water, Kocht was
80 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, Kocht was fec
with whisky and milk and his swollen
limbs rubbed with alcohol. It was six
days before he was able to stand upon
his feet. -Four hundred miles north OF
the point where he was picked up
Kocht was turned over to the schooner
Stanley.
While fishing for cod of the island
Of Unimak the dory which Kocht oc
cupied was swept away from the
schooner Stanley by a terrific south
wester. For four days the distressed
fisherman battled with the waves. Ont
OF the oars broke under the strain or
the second day. and he drifted help
'lessly.
Then the dory capsized half a mile
of the shore Of the island. AS the boa
upset a heavy Goldfish hook caught IL
the back of Kocht's left hand. 1t was
only by gnawing the heavy Irvine with
his teeth that the fisherman succeeded
In escaping from the leash which held
him to the wrecked boat. Kocht final.
~ managed to reach the beach, where
he sank down in distress. The hook be
managed to tear from his hand with
his teeth.
For two weeks Kocht suffered priva.
lions to which but for his superb vital
ity he must have succumbed. On the
fourth day of his stay on the island he
found a dead crab lying on the sand
Upon this he lived for three days with.
out water.
There was no refuge where he might
seek shelter, and he was compelled tc
pace the beach during the night tc
keep warm. Almost craZed with thirst,
