Mountain. The furs were taken on
 board the Silver Wave and also the
 Kotzebue mails brought to the Cape
 on the White Mountain. The Wave
 then set out for Nome.
 On the way down the coast the
 schooner encountered the power boat
 Toiler, with five persons on board.
 The vessel was picked up in a fog
 about IS miles off Pt Spencer and was
 bound for Teller. but had become lost
 through some defect in her compass.
 When found by the Wave, the little
 vessel was heading straight for Siberia
 with her passengers totally unaware
 they were not on the right course.
 The occupants were taken on board
 the Wave and later their vessel was
 lowed within sight of land. from
 whence it could follow the coast line
 to it's destination. After completing
 this meritous service, the Wave re-
 stunned her course but on arriving of
 Sledge Island sighted signal of dis
 tress set by the crew of the wrecked
 Kolyma. On putting in to shore. it
 was found that the captain of the
 storm shattered trader wanted to come
 to Nome. He stated it was impos-
 sible for him to remain on the deso- late island any longer. He was talk
 en on board. but his companions re- valuable cargo. The Wave then pro- ceeded to Nome. arriving Wednesday. The passengers of the White Moun- tain are none the worse for their bit ter experience with the elements and express deep gratitude for the kind as sistance given them and extend their sincere thanks particularly to MT. and Mrs. F. R. Tate, the Wales teachers. both of whom subjected themselves to great inconvenience in their effort 10 make the shipwrecked people comfor- table during their stay at Wales. They are also grateful to the kind natives of Wales village. who generously sup piled them with such provisions they could spare, to Capt Peterson of the Herman and his crew, who extended them every courtesy and to Mir Lindc berg, whose splendid benevolence and generosity is none the less appreciated because it failed to achieve the obicc' at which it was aimed. Only the pro- vidential arrival of the Herman pre- vented the noted mining man being ehe means whereby the unfortunates were relieved from hunger and suffer- ing.
 Mir. Lindeberg's praiseworthy effort in this connection recalls that he was once before the Good Samaritan in a similar tale of sea disaster, wherein human lives were hanging in the bal- ance and only the hand of kindly be- | nevolence could save. This was when | the survivors of the i'll fated Kafluk chief vessel of the famous Stefansson | expedition. were marooner on the deso-
 late shores of Wrangell Island in 191t. On that occasion Mir. Lindeberg's splendid spirit of benevolence was ex- pressed in the chartering and quitting at great expense of the former revenue cutter Corwin in an effort to reach the ] Ice beleagured island and rescue the fill fated castaway's.
 Warm praise is also due Capt Jo- hansen and Engineer Evern for their heroic endeavors in behalf of the un- fortunate passengers and to Capt. Ross and his gallant crew.
