Myrtle H., of Wransell Almost two Months Out
 Beaches Near Cordova
Related Story of Thrilling Ex- perience of Three Local Men Who Were at the Mercy of the Sea for
 Weeks

The story ot the Myrtle H. as given by the Cordova Times ot December 2olh. follows:
 Captain V. J. Johnson, M. P. Olson and Verne Clark left Wran- gell on October 2o on the gas boat Myrtle II. and since that tune they have htcst at the mercy of the sea. Tlev Jeff their home for Chaltiam strait to look up son e mining property, and alter being on short rations and enduring many hardships, Johnson and Clark ar rived ia town last night. Olsen remained in charge of the boat, which IS on the beach at Egg is- land.
 These three meu had very thrilling experience and are fortun ate indeed that tEev gre today alive to tell the tale. They came out side 10 Baranof and lost their rud- der i,etween Cape Omaney and Whale Bay on Nov. ;. There was a strong otfshore wind blowing at the time, and they dritted out to sea where they houndered around for fifteen days. Finally south easter struck them and drove them up the coast. Seven days later Cape St. Elias was sighted from a distance They then went Into Cape Clear and took the rudder in a small boat to Latouche where it was repaired.- Another start was made, and while lying off Cape Hinchinhrook 1t was necessary to get behind Egg island for shelter. Here, ten days were spent, when high wind came up and drove them on the beach. Johnson and Clark started to row to the Hinchinbrook lighthouse, when the wind and sea swamped their skiff and they were compelled to walk to the lighthouse. There they borrowed a dory and rowed to Johnson's point, where they met the Native mail carrier from Hinchinhrook. who brought them to Cordova last night.
 The Myrtle H. is gasoline boat AZ feet long, B feet in width, draws five feet of water and has cargo space for IA tons. She had twelve oil drums in the hold, and these became loose and pounded holes in the boat, starting her leaking. She is at present high and safe. John- son and Clark will leave for South eastern Alaska to get assistance to save the craft.
