10th we anchored on the west side of the island. This affords little protection, but fortunately there was only gentle breeze blowing off shore. The surf on the west side was moderately heavy, but it was negotiated by the ships boat. AFFECT RESCUE
 AS is usual in expeditions of this sort there are delays of one sort or another and in this instance there was a most unexpected one. One of the natives, a young man about "A years of age, caught his foot in the 'go-devil' Ca sort of land sled without solid platform, so that ones foot may possibly slip down between the tWo-by-fours) This young man, Joe Amuknuk, of Kodiak, it was found later, thus broke both bones of his lower right leg. Long after dark the surf boat returned to the ship through the surf bringing Amuk- nuk and Mrs McCord, Miss HiIda Green and Frances Meusel, the latter of Chicago, Ill.
 Lieut.. (j. g. B. H. Brallier did a fine piece of work getting SO many of the party back at this hour. AL. though the surf had gone down somewhat, it was nevertheless quite an undertaking to bring an injured man and three women out | to the vessel under the conditions. 1
 The next morning Mir. Brallier, in charge of the motor sailer and l a surf boat, went in to bring in the rest of the party and all the baggage and bedding. The motor sailer was anchored beyond the surf and the transfer of the rest of the party and of the baggage l

 hours and did not trouble to leave | anyone on watch.
 BEGGED JURY RUDDER
 "The crew of the Dorothy rigged a jury rudder, and with consider ! able difficulty got to Alitak Bay at
 the south end of Kodiak Island
 MT. McCord seriously consider ed mushing back to Karluk in or der to send telegrams to the own CTS of the boat and the insurance companies concerned. He was dis Suaded, however, for it would have taken at least three days to make that distance and there were no cabins or way places at which to stop en route. The jury rudder was improved and the boat left Alitak Bay for Kodiak steered by tackles. When in the vicinity of Woody Island, close to Kodiak, one of the steering tackles got adrift and fouled the propeller.
 Upon hauling out the Dorothy, they were much surprised to find that her keel was entirely gone, many holes punched in the hill, and all that had kept the boat af1oat was the cement in her bilges. Immediate steps were taken to re- pair her at Kodiak, but there was a great deal of delay in refloating here due to the small range of tide which prevailed for some time.
 APPEALED COAST GUARD .
 Tn this way the weeks went on, and when repairs were finally com pleted the Dorothy was considered unfit to proceed again to Chirikof, and that she must go to Seattle, avoiding bad weather en route if possible, and have permanent re- pairs done at that place. With this decision, request was made to the Coast Guard to take off the people left on Chirikof by the De- rothy on December 13
 "The Tallapoosa reached the is land after a foggy run on Friday, February 10, and went fairly close to the east side of the island, the whistle many times to attract the attention of the people on shore. Landing was inn possible on the eastern side and it was hoped that the party would at once walk to the west side of the island and stand by to be picked up. It was about a two-hour run around the north point of Chirikof, as the shoals extend out some lit tie distance At 2 D. III. on the

RETURNED TO BOAT

They had come the distance very quickly with the wind at their backs, and they were now an unbe- lievable time getting back to the vii cinity of the Dorothy, whose mast head light they could still see. It was matter of some five and a half hours before they had got to their vessel. It looked at one time as if they were never to get back, and the Scandinavian captain said in a quiet voice to MT. McCord: Jack, I don't think we can make it. Just as the skipper made this remark, the wind dropped and the moon came up, and in a short while they regained the Dorothy.
 An examination of their strand ed vessel pounding on the reef quickly revealed that she had lost here rudder, but her hold was dry. Some of the spikes had been forced by the pounding she was receiv- ing, up in the engine room, but the engine still functioned. With the rising tide they got the yes sel off and anchored in 10 fathons. All hands were so exhausted that

plunging low and rising to shake of the boarding seas like a ter Tier shaking a rat.
 COMMANDERS REPORT
 Take up Commander Dench's report:
 The foregoing indicated a very serious situation indeed, but I felt that further information could be obtained at Kodiak, and on the face of it it was difficult to under stand why some word of the disas- ter had not reached the outside world within a reasonable time subsequent to the landing of the party on the 14th of December.
 Arrived at Kodiak on the morn ing of the 9th; MT. Jack McCord, manager of the Chirikof venture, came aboard. He advised that the party on the island was in no dan ger of starvation as there was herd of cattle there of about $50 head and that some stores had been left there. There was no doubt of course that the Chirikof people were short of many kinds of provisions and stores. The worst feature of their situation was pro- bably the strain and worry they were undergoing, because they had expected the Dorothy to return to the islands about one week after they were landed there, that is to say about 21st of December. They had been in complete isolation and had no way of knowing that the Dorothy had stranded on a reef and that the 10 men on her after nearly losing their lives in the life boats, eventually got the Dorothy off the reef and into port.
 PERSONNEL OF PARTY
 The Tallapoosa made ready to proceed to Chirikof as soon as the weather showed signs of being req SOnably clear and settled.
 Before telling of the rescue of the Chirikoff party it is interest ing to understand the nature of the venture and the personnel who undertook it. MT. Jack McCord, an Oldtime Alaskan, and one of the actual characters in Rex Beach's famous story of the fight over the right of way on the Cop per River Railroad, the managing director of the Chirikof Platinum Gold Mining Company. He is a Gkeable, talkative man of imagina- tion, sanguine and able, promoter i of various ventures. He sailed with 1 the Dorothy from Seattle with ! about 20 persons on board, includ- 1 ing several who were there more as guests than as real members of | the working force Two such were young women from Chicago in their early twenties, college girls who had driven to Seattle. They 1 hit upon the idea of travelling to Alaska and writing up their experi- ences or vacation, and through the Alaska Weekly publication at Se- attle they met MT. McCord. He agreed to their proceeding to Chi rikof with Mrs. McCord on the De- rothy as members of the party, and they had planned to leave Chiri- ]

kof after about one weeks stay there.
 Besides mining engineer, there were several youths and two na- tives. The cargo consisted of stores of every sort and some cen trifugal machines for washing out the gold and platinum from the black ore-bearing sand found on ChirikOf.

ABANDONED VESSEL

ABANDONED VESSEL
 Continuing with the cruise of the Dorothy, she proceeded out Of Seattle by the Inside Passage and Prince William Sound and Kodiak for Chirikof Island. On her first run in the direction of the latter no landing could be made on ac- count of the high surf, but on the 18th the party was gotten ashore. The heavy freight, however, con- sisting of centrifugal machines and a tractor, could not then be landed, and the boat stood back for Alitak Bay. Unfortunately the Dorothy was passing the Trinity Islands at night and the westward one, Tugidak, is low and difficult to see. Furthermore, the cur rents sweeping north of Tugidak and into Sitkinak Strait are quite strong. In the middle of the night they suddenly struck a reef and found themselves pretty close to the breakers The 10 men aboard took to the lifeboats, five men in each boat Soon after they showed off, the mining engineer, who was without nautical experience, kept saying that they ought to drop the DorOthy'S anchor.
 They went back to the Dorothy and dropped the anchor, to which circumstance it was later apparent they owe their lives.
 Showing off again from the De- rothy, the two lifeboats pulled with the wind and with the pur- pose of getting around a point which seemed to them to make out a little way and which might pos sibly afford lee on it's far side. But the contour of the shore was not as it first appeared, and pres ently they found themselves in a blight with breakers everywhere but to seaWard. The only thing they could do was to pull out of this little bay against the wind and the sea.

STRAUS TELLS FRANCE AMERICA
AWAITS DEFINITE ARMS ACTION
New Ambassador Presents
Credentials With Hope
for Peace.
Asks Cooperation to Assure
Success of World Eco
nomic Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
PARIS, June 8.-Jesse l. Straus, pre-
senting his credentials as new Amer
lean Ambassador to France today, told
President Lebrun that the United
States is waiting for France to do
something definite for disarmament and
for the success of the World Economic
Conference.
While Mr.. Straus was telling the
French statesman what America ex
pected, Norman H. Davis, American
Ambassador at large, argued with Pre-
mier Daladier to abolish tanks and re-
duce artillery so as to make disarma-
ment possible.
Reminds of Peace Efforts.
Mr.. Straus went outside of the usual
polite exchange of compliments to re-
mind the President that starting with
the Briand-Kellogg pact, you will agree
the United States has gone a long
way toward assuring economic and
military peace"
President Roosevelt, he added, "has
indicated an attitude of cooperation
the United States is ready to take with
respect to legitimate preoccupations of
Europe on disarmament and the con-
sequent economic readjustments.
The French response on these prob
lens the Ambassador continued,
caused us to await with confidence the
acts of the French government which
will give reality to these projects.
Mr.. Straus further emphasized, the
expectant attitude of the United States
by saying that continued good rela-
tions depend on mutual good will, but
deep friendship for France on our
part calls for deep understanding
from France"
Urges Cooperation.
Eve are ready to cooperate with
France, as we have before, in the ex-
pectation that France, as before, will
work with U.S." the American declared.
The presentation of Mr.. Straus, which
began his official service as Ambassador,
was given added significance by the
presence of Foreign Minister Joseph
Paul -Boncour. The latter left the dis
armament meeting attended by Mr..
Davis, Premier Daladier and Lord Lon
donderry Of Great Britain that he might
be present.
With diplomatic pomp and flourish
Mr.. StrauS was taken to the ElySee
Palace in the Presidents car. He was
saluted by a battalion of guards in the
palace courtyard. AS he entered and
left bugles were blown and he passed
through a double row Of white and gold
uniformed Republican Guards wearing
high boots.
Presents Staff.

was presented and the President replied

After disposing of the war debt issue,
he said:
1--WE are come to deal with problems
and conditions that call for interna-
tional action in an economic sense.
There is a spirit of hopefulness through
out America that the conference Will
succeed This has been encouraged by
the preliminary discussions in the last
six weeks among our officials and those
tions have suffered enough from the
raising of trade barriers and all forms
of economic nationalism."
The Secretary of State declined to
discuss the policy the United States
delegates will adopt, but said he favored
lowering all excessive obstructlons to
trade and finance between nations. -.
"I cannot say more at this juncture,"
he said. I'VE come here in a spirit
Of hopefulness as to the outcome OF
