Doodle Goes Ashore
On Peapod Rocks

On her return trip from Belling-
ham Monday evening the gasoline
launch Yankee Doodle ran ashore on
one of the Peapod rocks, about a mile
from Doe Bay, at about 5 is. and was
not f1oated until nearly $50 Tues
day morning. The reef is almost on,
q direct line of the course from Cot
tonwood to Doe Bay. At extreme
high tide the rocks are covered, max
ing it extremely dangerous to naviRa-
ton in case boat deviates from her
regular course. The night was very
dark and the tide was running like
mill-race. Captain March was at the
wheel and Louis Scribner was hand.
ling the engine. The only way that
the captain can account for the ACCT
dent is that the strong tide and
trouble with steering gear set him off
his course about hundred yards, be-
not having made sufficient calcula<-
items for this. There we're eight
persons aboard, including the crew.
and all were marooned on the rock
until between one and two in the
morning, when they were taken of
by Mr.. Iownend and Barney Viereck,
of Doe Bay, who saw their signal light
and went to their rescue, two trips
being made in order to get all of the
passengers ashore. The first load was
taken to the Viereck home and the
second to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Townend, where meals we're prepared
for them and comfortable shelter pro-
vided until they could proceed on
their way. Had the night been
stormy. as was the case the night be-
fure, the accident might have proven
to be very serious one. As it Was
those on board suffered considerably
from cold and hunger. All the pas
sengers express much appreciation OF
the rescue work of the gentlemen who
took them of the rock and the hos
pitality shown them after they got
ashore. The launch suffered no dam
age whatever as result Of the acci-
dent and az soon as foated proceeded
on her course. arriving here about ten
o'clock Tuesday morning. Those on
board were: Captain and Mira. Alvin
