permit. That afternoon they found that they were in three fathoms of
 water. and shortly after they sighted
 land. Later they ran into the breakers
 and pulled their boat out of the water.
 By this time the cold and exposure
 had SO numbed the men that they were
 only able to stamp about with great
 pain and difficulty. To their great dis appointment they found that they were
 only on sand spit that would be GOV
 cred at high tide
 Getting into the dory again with
 great difficulty they circled this spit
 or island. and then made of on the
 same course they had been steering
 before. Just before nightfall they again
 sighted what they thought was land and felt sure they could make it be
 fore dark. Here they thought they could see iglOos and people moving about.
 The men now took the oars in fif- 
 teen minute shifts and just before dark they grounded their boat. All
 hands disembarked and started for th2
 shore. After a long walk they got out of the water onto hard ground. then
 into muddy bottom and again into the
 water They now saw that they could not make the land so they returned to the dory for another night. The captain stuck an oar into the mud and light the dory fioated. It was dark and the occupants of the boat had no matches with which to make light so they decided to hang on. However. their oar pulled out and they were obliged to make a start for some place. They had no compass but took a gen
 eral course which they guessed and in
 half an hour again thought they sight
 ed land and houses. This belief was
 strengthened when they thought they
 made out light. Sometime later their boat again grounded. They then waited for the flood tide and went in
 with it.
 The first thing they did on reaching land was to search for water. They managed to find some brackish water in a small lake about half a mile back from the beach. Also two native ig- lloos. They crossed what appeared to be fresh trail and followed it. Half n mile down the coast they sighted some natives with a boat. In their ex- hausted condition with frozen feet and | half famished for want of food and water the castaways had hard time l in making their way to where the natives were. They managed to let the natives know of their condition and were given salmon and seal oil which were food and drink both to the fam . ished men. These natives were gather ing logs and were bound for a summer

I however, as the ship turned over on her beam ends managed to climb to the guard rail where he maintained himself as the boat did not turn turtle. AS soon as he could get the water out of his eyes he saw the small boat in the distance and waived d goodbye to her crew.
 Later the dory came back and lay in the lea of the overturned Wasp. Mir, Waskey. thinking that his comrades had returned for him told them he hailed and said that he did not think the Wasp would sink and asked Mir. ! Waskey if he could take a line. The boat's painter was then made fast to the Wasp and the captain climbed aboard the hulk. He and MT. Waskey | remained aboard until three a.. m, the dory trailing on the lea side fended off by her crew. A small amount of relief from the roughness of the waves was
 
 out onto the water.
 Captain Madsen at three o'clock got back into the dory. Mir. Waskey re mained aboard the wreck until six o'clock in the morning. He knew the hoped that the sea would calm so they could leave the wreck before dark. At six o'clock Mir. Waskey got into the dory. The storm continued very hard all day and all that nght.
 The provisions in the dory con sisted of only one and one half pounds of bacon and three small strips of dried salmon. There was no water whatever. What bread had been put into the dory had been washed overheard. The following morning the storm continued and it was decided that they would have to quit the vicinity of the wreck and make for land. After day 1 light they left the shelter of the wreck with Chief Engineers Hennngsen at the oars.
 i Mir. Waskey states that his most vivid recollection of this time is of meeting the first big roller. The dOry seemed to stand upright on her stern. but she climbed up and over the wave. The course was now laid about east by south. but they were unable to hold lit on account of the heavy seas. This course was laid by the light of the sky in the east. All this day the cast aways hoped to strike land before nightfal. but in this they were disa- ppointed. They were forced to put in all that night in the dory exposed to severe cold and wet to the skin.
 Early next morning they were cheer ed by the thought that they had sight ed land. Captain Madsen rigged a sounding line with some pieces of Iropeyarn and an orelock for a lead Iwith which he made several soundings when the roughness of the water would

Through the courtesy of Frank Waskey, who went through the fear fui hardships of the survivors of the wrecked Wasp the Nugget Is able to publish the first complete story of the wreck and subsequent sufferings and ultimate return to civilization of the little band of heroes who weW through such a trying experience in open boats after being forced to abandon their ship.
 The Wasp left Bethel on. August 23 On the 24th off Good News Bay she encountered northerly winds. The captain decided to head west but they encountered heavy gales and ran for shelter behind Nunivak.
 At six thirty D. m. on the 25th the Wasp sprang a bad leak. The cap tain and crew tried to locate this leak but without avail and finally. by means ot hoggoing lines attempted ~to get . sail over the bow and under the yes sel in order to stop the flow of water into her hold. The inner skin of the ship was torn off in an attempt t2 locate the leak but to no purpose.
 Railing was continued until nine o'clock and the boat headed off on the port tack This increased the flow of water and she was put about on the starboard tack which eased here up.
 At nine o'clock in the evening the water had flooded the engines and they stopped. In a few minutes more the boat filled and sank until her deck was awash, however remaining upright in the water. She was at this time under only her foresail.
 Seeing the seriousness of the situa . tiOn the captain ordered food put into the dory and preparations were made for abandoning the ship. It was thought that there was reasonable chance of the boat remaining upright and the question of leaving her was discussed. The general opinion was that the chances of getting away in the dory were slim as there was heavy sea running at the time and the boat was terribly overcrowded. Mir. Wasky had made up his mind to remain on the ship and take his chances there The dory stood by and at midnight the Wasp slowly turned over on her side AS the vessel heaved over to starboard the captain cut the flashing that held the dory and the captain and crew got into her. Mir. Evans had hold of the bow of the dory as the Wasp went over and the captain pulled him into the small boat at the same time or dering the crew to throw overheard some of the stuff in the boat in order to Tighten her. In doing this the com pass In the dory was accidently pu over the side and lost
