SUFFERING FROM | EXPOSURE, STAN }HARBES@ HERE {Prospector Has Harrowing Experience When Wreck- ed by Recent Storm Stanley Harbeson, thought for some time to have been lost, ar- rived here yesterday on the Este- beth from Dundas Bay, worn from three weeks of exposure and hun- ger on the shore of the bay, wherzs he was wrecked during the terrif- ic wind storm several weeks ago which struck the skiff in which he had left the Dundas Bay can- nery on the way to Juneau, and washed it upon the rocks across from the cannery. mxpecting to take three or four days to reach Juneau, Mr. Harbe- son, with sufficient supplies to last that length of time, and his dog, left the cannery and was half way across the bay when the wind hit The nursery scales were taxed when thiz pair of twins was born |, swept the light craft upon the rocks, tearing the bottom from the boat, and leaving the prospector and his dog marooned on the shore. Supplies Exhausted His meager supplies were quick- ly exhausted, but with the charac- teristic resourcefulness of a pros- pector, Mr. Harbeson discovered some Indians camped far back in the woods, from whom he procur- ed some potatoes for which he paid by cutting wood. On this and a small amount of flour, he managed to subsist, us- ing an abandoned cabin for shel- ter. With tin cans, picked up on the beach, he contrived to repair the skiff, so that in spite of a few leaks, it could be used. Puts Off Knowing that the Estebeth put into Dundas Bay the first trip of each month, he waited there un- til he saw the vessel in the dis- tance before putting out from the shore in the leaking craft and headed for the cannery, alone. He had been forced to put his dog out of misery because he was un- {able to care for it when it was half starving and suffering from an encounter with a porcupine. After four and one-half hours of alternate rowing and balling, | Mr. Harbeson reached the cannery | where hot food and a warm fire | awaited him, prepared by Ralph Robertson, superintendent, whohad | seen him approach, looking hag- |gard and Worn. True Optimism From Dundas Bay to Juneau, | Mr. Harbeson made the trip in comfort aboard the Esfebeth, al- though he was completely without funds with which to pay his fare. In spite of his experiences, Mr. Harbeson, with a prospector's true | optimism, expects to trap during the winter and return to the Dun- das Bay region next Spring to con- tinue the hunt for ore. ——————— COAST BANKS REPORT FUNDS MOVING ALONE Money Given Greater Em- ployment — Moderate Business Improvement SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov.
