 The prompt action on the part of Judge Lomen in giving his personal attention to this matter. and the lay ing aside of all worthless technical ities that might arise. is highly commendable. and goes to show what can be done in matter of this kind when the lives of fellow men are in danger.

SCHOONER WOOD ASHORE
 BUT NOT DAMAGED

During the storm which ragged along the coast for the last few days there was a report came into Nome from Teller that the A. H. Moore boat. the Fred J. Wood. which has been lying at anchor in Port Clar- ence bay at Teller, for the last two weeks. had been blown ashore pie of weeks, had been blown ashore and was breaking up. Due to the fact that communication with Tel Ter is at the best not very good no authentic information could be ob- tained until Thursday morning, when the schooner Wood. which is equipped with wireless set, wired A. H. Moore. that while the Wood was high and dry" she had not broke up and was seemingly in as good condition as before she went ashore. with the exception that she may have been strained slightly, which would not, it is believed, ef- feet her seaworthiness to any great extent.
 A. H. Moore is now in Teller look ing over his boat and planning
 to get her back afloat, in all prob
 ability the schooner will be in the water again in a week or two, nont the worse for her trip ashore.

John Lind On Trip.

cept. The two left for Galveston
last Saturday. where they will EN- :

Lind Navigation Corporation Of New
York, of which Norman Lind, son Of
the ex-governor is the head.
AS they expected to leave some
now on their way. The trip will
nal and on up to the coast to Van
couver, British Columbia. AS the
vessel is not a passenger ship but a
large freighter, they will be guests
Of the captain and thus have unu-
sual opportunities for enjoyment.
Two of the vessels of the Lind
Navigation Corporation were en-
ployed by the government in the
world war, and the one on which
Mr.. Lind and Mr.. Johnson will ira
vel is a similar one. Word was re-
ceived by Mr.. Johnson quite sud
denly and came as a complete sur
prise, but a very agreeable one at
that, because it is a rare opportun
ity for travel under the best possible
conditions.
Mr.. Johnson had no idea as to how
long the trip will take but has
promised to send word from Panama
where they will land for a short
time, and tell some Of their expert
ences. .a
