The King and Winge. after leaving
Nome, Sept. 3, went to East Cape. ST.
IBERIA, TO take on Eskimos and skin
boats. She then laid her course for
Rogers harbor, Wrangell island, arriv-
ing there about 10: 80 o'clock on the
night of Sept. 6. She sent up sky
rockets, but received no response, the
castaways on shore having retired at
10. The next morning they were over
joyed to hear the whistle of the
schooner. Four Eskimos in skin boat
found lead through the Ice, reached
shore and brought back a number OF
men who had been camped near shore
The schooner then proceeded to the
other side of the island, where they
picked up the remaining survivors, who
were in another camp. The King and
Winge started for Nome with the res
cued people, and had gone 75 miles
when she met the revenue cutter Bear,
bound for Wrangell island. The King
and Winge reported that she had
beaten the Bear After a brief con-
| ference it was agreed by Captain Olaf
Swenson of the schooner and Captain
Cochran of the cutter that the accom-
modations on the Bear were better for
the men in need of medical care, and
the survivors were transferred and
brought here.
With them were also a black and
white cat picked up by the Karluks
crew at Victoria, b. c., last year, and
which they had kept with them through
all their hardships.
The Bear tried to get an tune with
the former revenue cutter Corwin,
which was fitted out by Jafet Linde-
berg as a rescue ship to tell the Cor
win of the rescue The Bear could
hear the Corwin but was unable to
send a wireless message. so the Cor
win at last accounts, was off Wrangell
island thinking the Karlulx's men were
still ashore.

on the Ice while trying to reach land
after the Karluk was crushed. the
three who died on Wrangell island and
