RICHARDSON IS FOUND, STRANDED
 ON ROCKY BEACH
Boat Wrecked by Storm Forced to Co Five Days
 Without Food.

Nine days shipwreciied along the beach, five and one half of which he was entirely without food, having on the sixth day black duck for his meal, is the experience of Alfred Michaelson, who was brought to town yesterday afternoon late by Alfred Judson. ,Michaelson was cast ashore one and one half miles north of Point Howard on Lynn Canal when his gas boat, Anna, was driven on the rocks and battered to pieces by a fierce Northeast wind on Novem- Der 2S,
 After vainly trying to attract the attention of passing vessels by fire and smoke from his isolated station on the beach. Michaelson was res cued from his dangerous position yes terday and immediately brought to town JudsOn had seen his signal fire four days previous to the rescue, being at that time enroute to Hoonah. On his arrival there he learned that a search was being made for Mich aelson and immediately returned 10 the rlace where he had noticed the fire~
 The story of the shipwreck and rescue as told by Michaelson is "s follows:
 q left Hoonah on the morning oi November 26. for Juneau. Coming out of Icy straits I headed for Point Retreat but ran into strong north east wind sweeping down Lynn Can al My boat sprung a leak and l was driven on the rocks and the boat began breaking up. Seeing that she was going, I put my matches inside the lining of my cap, tied a towel around my head and jumped overheard. |. q made the shore safely and was able to drag ashore some of the wreckage of the boat as it was piled up by the wind and waves. l built fire and dried out and was fairly comfortable until the little food that had gave out. The place where l was wrecked was a most inhospitable one as there were no shell fish or roots to eat. One day I succeeded ] in killing a black duck that I cooked and ate but there was a stretch of five days and half when l had absolutely nothing to eat.
 "The Estebeth passed by as d.d the Alameda but neither one If them observed me. The Pacific, sent 10 look for me, did not pass close to the shore where I was. It was sure disappointing to see these vessels going by and no one coming in t9 rescue me I was hungry al the l time and if I had not saved my matches would have died very shCrt- l ly after I landed
 l Michaelson occupied himself with ! salvaging the wreckage of his hoat, thirty-foot craft, powered by F i horsepower Gray engine. He found the keel and part of one side intact and was able to drag the engine UP into the woods He will leave on the Tillicum tomorrow to get the engine. Michaelson is not well nor has he been for several years but ha seem ed to have stood the exposure well. The place where he was maro2nei is without shelter and is cold with the winds that sweep down Lynn Canal and out of Icy Straits.
