raincoa belted. Regular $3.50 a EIDER TOWED T0 JUNEAU BY SUTTERUNALGA Fisheries Boat Damaged When Hits Reef to West- ward During Gale The cuiter Unalga, Comdr. Ed- ward S. Addison, arrived in Ju-' 1cau this morning at 6:30 o'clock towing the U. §. Bureau of Fish- cries patrol boat Eider, which lost her rudder and skag when she struck a reef on the north shore of St. George Island, during a northerly gale, on September 8. _ Capt. Armand Anderson is in com- mand of the Eider. Comdr. Addison reported crossing the Gulf of Alaska with fine weath- er in spite of the lowest barome- ter in the Pacific Ocean on Sep- tember 18 and 10. An ebb cur- rent of 6 knots was experienced in Iey Straits and much dark ice, that would be dangerous to steam- ers at night, was sighted abreast Lemesier Islands yesterday after- noon. In an interview with Capt. An- derson of the Eider, this morning, he said: “It was blowing a northerly gale con September 8, at the village on the north side of St. George Is- land, in the Pribilofs, and the weather was very thick with a dense fog prevailing. The Eider was driven too close to shore and struck three times on the reef in a heavy sea. I was asleep when we hit but it was only a matter of geconds before I was in the pilot house. The accident occurred at 3:30 am.. Gale Blowing “It was a miracle the Eider ever got clear as the gale was blowing toward shore. “We headed to the northward,” continued Capt. Anderson, “and I rang for full speed, but the Eider did not respond as quickly as she should have, so I went below to nee what damage had been done. Our galley is below and I found that the galley floor, which is two feet above the engineroom floor, was covered with water. The en- gineer stated that the pumps would hold her but that the clutch was gone. . “There were 25 people aboard, 9 in the crew and 16 passengers, and for their safety, I was thinking of beaching the Eider at Zapadne Cove. However, I found that wc could proceed at half-speed with a| fair wind. .. Chelan To Assistance radiced Capt. C. 8. Cochran, | U. 8. C. G, at Upalaska and told in no iramediate if I needed aid, Capt.

The Chelan did a splendid piece of work in picking | ip the Eider @t 1 o'¢lock “in the orning and in'a rough sca, and Comdr. Dempwolf showed a re- markable piece of seamanship. “After spending several days in Unalaska, the Chelan towed us to Zaikof, Bay, where the TUnalga took us in tow. “I have had a wonderful trip D Juneau with the exception of a southeast and northeast gale en- countered between Unimak Pass and the Shumagin Islands, and when we passed Cape Spencer I hove a sigh of relief." The Eider bases at Unalaska and makes regular trips to the Pribi- lof Islands, carrying freight and passengers. She had thre¢ more such trips to make betore going on the rocks, but now that she is out of commission it is presumed that the cutter Haida, Capt. T. A., Shanley, will do this work. [ Harry J. Christofiers, U. 8. B. ., Superintendent of the Pribilof islands, was aboard the Eider when she struck the recf. He is now in Unalaska awaiting the arrival of the steamer Victoria, on which he expects to sail to Seattle. Former Fishing Craft At one time, the Eider was a halibut schooner and as such was known as the Idaho and was owned by Capt. Quinn, former captain of the President Madison, of the Dol- lar Line. She, was sold to the Bureau of Fisheries in 1918. The Eider is in a rather pre- carious condition at present as her rudder is hanging from onc pintle and is bent back, her skag is gone, and her clutch is just hanging on The main engine, however, is all right. She is leaking at the rate of eight inches an hour and her pumps are being used all the time It is understood that as soon as the Eider has undergone a complete | overhaul and after necessary re- pairs have been made, she will be |transferred to another branch of ithe Bureau of Fisheries. Officers aboard the Eider are: John N. Southern, Chief Engineer {and radio operator; Kenneth New- iell, Second Engineer, and Thomas Felstad, Chief Officer. 1" 1t is probable that the Eider will be towed to Seattle by the cutter Unalga and will leave Juneau some |time Sunday.
