FISHERMEN REPORTED
 LOST IN NORTHLAND
Seattle Times)

Leaving their dories on the beach of the bleak northern shore of the Alaska Peninsula, three fishermen, members of the crew of the sailing schooner John A., of Seattle, deserted the vessel andt started on foot for Port Moller, thirty miles distant, through the fastnesses of the unset tied Western Alaska country, more than a month ago and have not been heard from since, according to word received in Seattle yesterday after noon.
 The men had no food and no blank cts and are believed to have per ished in the swamps and forests of a district uninhabited even by h. dians.. The fishermen had never been in Alaska before and undoubtedly ex- pected there would be settlements on the way to Port Moller where they could get food and shelter.
 Dangerous swamps, rocky cliffs and dense forest abound in the Alaska Peninsula district where the men de- serted the sailing schooner. The John A., fishing for cod in Boring Sea, had sent the men ashore in dories to ob- tain supply of fresh water for the schooner There is cannery at Port Moller where they expected to obtain food and lodging The names of the fishermen were not given in advices from the John A., but they are be- lieved to have joined the vessel in Seattle
