CAPTAIN OF ISKUM TELLS OF.
 ADVENTURES IN SIBERIA
Story of Trading Schooner Held by Soviets Reads Like PennyThriller

NOME - Romance and adven- ture has not vanished from the sea, as evidenced when the little trading schooner, Iskum, owned and ope- rated by a Tacoma firm, arrived this week. The Iskum was captured and held at East Cape, Siberia, by Soviet Government officials, on the alleged charge that Russian coni- mercial laws had been violated.
 After being detained for over six weeks, and despairing of aid from the United States government, the crew overpowered their guards, sta tioned on the vessel, placed them in the hold in irons, and brought the draft to Nome. The captured Soviet guards were turned over to Federal authorities and the Iskum will pro- ceed south.

Americans in Danger

Putta told graphic story, declar- ing that among other things. are a number of Americans at Anadir liv- ing in daily fear of their lives, and praying eacb day that an American revenue cutter will take them away.
 Putta stated the Iskum was boarded at Sand Point by three Rus sians, heavily armed. The leader said his name was Burke, and that he represented the Soviet govern ment. He demanded to see the ships papers. After seeing them Burke declared the Iskum could not trade without a license and could obtain a license at East Cape or Anadir. Putta said he secured a temporary license at Anadir, but traders and native refused to deal with him, having been ordered by Burke not to do so Burke, who had been carried hospitably on the Iskum from Sand Point. resorted to double dealing. and the Iskum. after six weeks, made a break from Anadir, where she went from Eas. Cape, overpowering the guards and took them to Nome

Another dispatch from Nome reads as follows
 NOME - A story of duplicity, double dealing and peculiar actions of swash buckling of Soviet repre- sentatives, who boarded his ship at Sand Point, Siberia. and assumed charge of her is told by Captain B. Putta, of the trading schooner, Is- kum, which arrived here this week after overpowering the Soviet guards placed aboard the Iskum to hold the vessel and fled from Ana dir to Nome.
 The Iskum was interned six weeks by the red authorities and reached here with the youthful armed guards from the red army praying that they be not returned to Russia for fear os losing their lives. It isbelieved the Russians will be taken to Tacoma if possible.
 Cause of Trouble
 A message from the Coast Guard Cutter Bear reporting the flight of the Iskum from Siberia says that the Russian trade regulations designate Petropavlovlovsk and Vladivostok as the ports of entry in Siberia. All vessels trading there are required to obtain a license in the above mentioned ports, and the government has a monopoly on all furs, all traders being required to sell furs to the government, and the Hudson's Bay Company is agent for the government in the London mar Lof
