FIVE VESSELS STRIVING
TO RESCUE EXPLORERS
Revenue Cutter Bear, Russian
Steamer Taimyr, the Corwin and
Two Schooners in Contest.

NOME. Alaska, September 5.-The
United States revenue cutter Bear sailed
today for Wrangell Island in an attempt
to rescue twenty-five people who. took
refuge on the island last March. after
the Stefansson expedition ship Karluk
had been crushed in the ice north of
Herald Island.
The Russian steamer Tainlyr and the
gasoline schooners King and Winge are
already in the Arctic trying to take off
the castaways. A fifth boat, the former
revenue cutter Corwin. will leave Nome
today to aid in the rescue.
Jafet Lindeberg, the mining man, adj
vanced the money to provision and coal
the Corwin. Capt. Dick Healy is in
command. and has a crew of picked
men. The Corwin has Eskimos. dogs.
sleds and skin boats. and the expedition
is well equipped for trip over any sort
of ice.
Wrangell Island is surrounded at all,
times by grounded icebergs. A landing
is difficult even in midsummer.
Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, late master
greatly worried over the long delay in
reaching his shipmates. He says they
have no way of knowing that he reached
Siberia and is seeking to take them from
the island.
If they knew that five vessels are trying
to reach them their condition would be
much more comfortable. AS for food
supply, Bartlett says there are plenty
of birds eggs and seals on the island.

No Advance in Prices Despite the

that were lying at the wharf have closed
out their cargoes and left for bay points
and several others are expected to get
away this afternoon and tonight. In spite
of the heavy sales prices have advanced
but little and yesterday very good melons
could be bought at the wharf market for

are looking for the arrival of several
melon-laden boats in the coming week.
