FINNISH SKIPPER HAD
THRILLING EXPERIENCE

PETROGRAD. Jan. 11-(Correspon-
dence OF the Associated Press) Eric
Carlson. Finnish skipper, arriving in
Petrograd. gives the following strange
account of his escape from the Ger
mans:
81 was taken prisoner OF war at the
same time that my small schooner,
which carried granite out of Abo, was
confscated by the Germans in Wis
mar. My crew and myself were told
that we might have the privilege OF
choosing any town in Germany where
in to spend our captivity. provided it
was sixty kilometers away from the
sea. chose n town further inland
than any of my sailors, figuring that
would throw the Germans of my
guard and give me better chance
to escape.
"As soon as | was taken into the
regular night train leaving Vlsmar

red to me. While the guards were
busy getting supper, which was pessed
in through the windows of the train
by some friendly peasants at the first
stop outside of Vismar, | crawled
through the opposite window and ran
perhaps two miles back to the docks,
The night was dark, and although /
heard voices | saw no one and no one
noticed me. On the docks | found
that a pile of my own granite had
been dumped and finding a rude sort
of tunnel under this | squeezed my
self into it, where was cramped ana
uncomfortable. but where | was safe
Tor the time at least.
"As soon as 1t was light I jumped
into the water. 1t was as cold as
ice, but I managed to pull myself
out and rested for an hour or two
on a beam under the dock Then I
saw a Swedish ferry boat from Trelle-
borg coming toward the pier. | SWAN
out to meet her. was seen by a
Swedish steward who was dumping a
pan of ashes overheard He threw
me a rope to which | chung. told
him who / was and asked him to
let me hide under a tarpauln that
covered a life boat. He agreed to
this and helped me to get on board
| lay in the boat shivering in my
drenched clothes while the ferry came
to the dock. underwent inspection by
German officers. and then put off
again for Trelleborg, where was

Coal Mined That Alaska contained
Here In rich deposits of good
1884 coal has been known to
sailors for more than
80 years. according to Tom Dudley,
who first sailed along the Alaska coast
in 1884.
1t was while taking supplies to a
whaling feet in the vicinity of Point
Barrow, Mr. Dudley says, in the year
mentioned, that the schooner on which
he was employed as a sailor put into
some point along the Alaska coast
and took aboard supply OF excel
lent fuel. Just where the coal was
found he was unable to remember,
but he AYERS that 1t was of excellent
quality.
That there are vast deposits of
coal in Alaska that are still unknown
is the opinion OF many men familiar
with the country. An inspection of
the United States Geologic Survey
map shows that coal has been locat.
ed in almost every section of the ter
ritory. This means that sometime In
the distant past, Alaska had tropi-
cal climate which promoted the pro-
duction of rapidly growing trees.

Hinder bare possibility that
w-maklns the delay In the receipt
OF all election returns
at Fairbanks may prevent some of the
members of the legislature from that
division from taking their seats at
the coming session of the legislature
early in March.
There are still more than half a
dozen precincts that have not been
heard from since the election In No
vember. and it seems that it is rather
indefinite when the returns win be
received there. There seems to be
an uncertainty concerning the right
of the election board at Juneau to GER
tify to the election of the legislators
until I'll of the precincts have been
heard from and they are canvassed
officially.
Whether any votes were cast in
the Kuskokwim district is a matter
of much uncertainty. for last summer
when the court was at Iditarod. the
commissioner of the Kuskokwim stat
ed that he was not certain II there
were enough voters in the district
to Justify in calling an election there.
1t Is just possible that an indefinite
delay in the receipt OF the full cleo

begins at that time.
