My Thirty Years at Sea” (White mountainous scas tos- sed the disabled Antinoe ruth- lessly about, Fried and his crew were frantically trying to get a line to her. There came a luil in the weather and a boat man- aged to get close enough so the crew could jump overboard and swim to it. ..Some o the res- cued men collapsed when they got aboard. All were saved, but for more than three days it ap- peared the lid to Davy Jones’ locker was swung open for the Antinoe’s crew.) ° By CAPT. GEORGE FRIED (Copyright, 1929, Associated Press) CHAPTER XIX—PART II Tuesday, January 26, at daylight we hoisted colors at half mast in The crew of the Antince now d a life line and was hauling it B! We lowered Number Three |bcat unmanned and attached the |line to it but as it was being pulled ;over the edge of the Antinoe's hull, (the sharp edge cut the rope. I cir- |cled around in an effort to pick up the boat, but the seas were run- ning too high to attempt it and |shortly atter the boat capsized. It was my intention to give the Anti- {noe crew a boat so that the men | would have some means of escape, !should she go down during the | night. | The next day we tiried towing |an unmanned boat toward the freighter. The long line was at- \tached to the aft king post. {coming up close to the Antinoe's “. . The boat finally got abreast and the men were ordered to jump 4 honor of our two lost men and shortly after the Antinoe half- masted her colors. The weather continued with snow and hail and | mountainous seas running. The Antinoe sent urgent appeals by sig- nals and an effort was made to get a line to her by firing the lyle gun, Shot after shot failed. Finally Col. C. C. Hearn, U. 8. A., suggested using a long spiral spring between projectile and line, the two- previously having parted. Mr. Erickson was manning the gun. I ordered him to decrease the charge. This proved effective. We also tried rockets but they failed, being carried too easily by the stern and swinging sharply around. the object was to get the line on her deck where -the crew could reach it and haul it in. At the end of this maneuver we were lying close to the Antinoe's bow, with the tow line leading under her keel and the life boat close to her stern. If they had had a grapnel or one of the crew had jumped overboard with a line around him, they eould have gotten the boat. But they were exhausted by expos- ure and lack of food for two days. At 4 pm. the weather moderated and the barometer started to rise steadily. Number Six lifeboat was made ready in charge of Mr. Mil- ler, with a crew of seven men in- Rain | Cldy | fallen | By‘ eat eolors prasible..

I again maneuvered the | President Roosevelt within about | 100 yards to the windward of the! | Antinoe. At 7:20 pm. the beat| { was launched and cleared the ship’s | | side without mishap. She went | | toward the Antinoe manned by us-| ing three oars on each side and | one steering sweep oar. The bc-:s,t‘1 rode like a duck on the water. T steered for a position to round the Apntinoe’s bow, where her men were | ordered to be ready with heaving lines to assist in getting the boat alongside. The boat finally got {abreast of hatch number one and the men were ordered to jump. The Antinoe was listing 50 degrees to starboard, both forward and after well decks under water, with every indication she would not stay afloat more than a few hours, The whole crew mourned 'deeply the loss of their two shipmates and at 4 pm. that afternoon after we all got a little rest, Dr. Joseph Cochran of the American Church in Paris, conducted impressive services in the social hall with passengers and crew attending. The night| the men were lost prayer and serv- | ices were held by Dr. Cochran amli | Mgr. Martin D. Whelan. (Tomorrow: The Florida Rescuc) | | While waiting for them to jump. their condition made them slow in | getting off—the boat was pounding | heavily against the ship's side and was in grave danger of being cap- sized by the wash from her high protruding clipper bow. Twelve men were in the boat when she headed for the President Roosevelt, which meanwhile had moved to a position 100 yards to leeward of the Antinoe. When they came alongside life lines, cargo nets, ladders and save- alls were ready. Some of the res- | cued men had to be hoisted aboard | and when they reached the deck !they collapsed. One was taken to the hospital suffering from com- plete exhaustion. “The others were | put to bed and given nourishment. I ordered the boat crew aboard. An examination of the boat showed the bow had been crushed in and the hoisting hook broken -that | one too had to be cut adrift. I then decided to wait further weather improvements and at 12:40 fam., on January 28, lifeboat Num- ber Three was made ready while I} {again took a position 100 yards away. Mr. Miller was again in charge with Third Officer Thomas Sloan, Mr. Upton and seven men. They again proceeded to the wreek | |and got alongside number one hatch. Aided by bright mooniight, but with a heavy swell running, the lifeboat was held alongside easier than before. The remaining 13 jof the Antinoe’s crew jumped into the boat, and returned to the Pres- |ident Roosevelt, which had resumed |its previous position to the lee-! |ward of the freighter. This life- {boat could mot be taken aboard.| |The men were all ordered to bed, given nourishment and then exam- ined and treated by the ship’s sur- |geon, Dr. Dolldorf. | The total detention was three! days, 22 hours and 20 minutes. With three long blasts from the |steam whistle and three rousing Icheers from the crew and passen- | | |gers, we proceeded on our yornge: | MILL PREPARES FOR 1329 WORK In preparation for the 1929 sea- son soon to start, the Junzau Lum- | ber Mill plant is taking on a scene | of greater activity each day. Cre are at work overhauling the ma. chinery and power plant and men are in the yards checking lumber and arranging the stacks to make space for the new cut. | The piledriver of R. J. Kenney, has been, moved to the face of the mill wharf and today gear is being laid out for the dredging of Lhe| mill pond. The pond will be| dredged, using the driver winches. With the greater depth of water in the pond the delay caused by logs | going dry at low tides, will be over- come. It is reported that a greater quan- | tity than usual of salmon bo'cl shooks are ordered from the local| plant this season. buying as much as possible from | the local supply is said to be part-| ly responsible for several hruol orders. | e | | GOODIE SALE | | The Lutheran Ladies Aid Society will hold a GOODIE Sale Satu day, March 30, in the display rooms | of the Alaska Electric Light and Power Co.
