SEWARD. Alaska. June I Like a
phantom ship. In her white covering of
ashes, the mallshlp Dora stesmed slow
ly Into the harbor her today from the
westward, bringing details of tha great
eruption of Mount Kotmal.
The appearlnce of the Dora testifies
to the hall of ashes which she encoun
tered and passengers and crew recount
thrllllngly their narrow escape from
death by asphyxiation as the steamer
fled through the blinding rain of sslies
to safety.
Those aboard the Dora believe that
several smsll fishing villages on the
shores of Hhellkof Htralt were destroyed
by the eruption.. The revenue service
st I'nalaska has been asked to send
aasistance.
Dara Close te Velcaae,
The Dora waa in sight of Kitnisl
when the eruption began and those on
the vessel witnessed a brilliant spec-tai-le.
Danger was added to their po
sition when poisonous gases poured
forth by the volcsho filled the air.
Many persons aboard were almost over
oonie. The first evidence that the volcano
waa preparing to awaken after years
of Inactivity came early Thursday when
tha Alaska Peninsula was rocked by a
violent earthquake. The nliilit before
the Dora wss at Cold Hay. only l.'i
miles southwest of the volcano, and
arroes Hhellkof Strait to Kadlak, when
the eruption began at S o'clock In the
morning and the mountain was In plain
view.
Frequent earthquakes disturbed tfie
water of tho strait, when auddenly a
terrific explosion occurred In the dis
tant mountain and a great mass of
rocks waa thrown Into tha air.
ana la Obscured.
The first ej.plnslon wss followed by
others In quick succession, esch seem
ingly more terrific than the one before,
and In a short time a steady stream of
rocka and ashes was pouring out of
the peak and spreading far over the
surrounding country, obscuring tho sun
and aiiutting off from view the troubled
mountain.
At 4 o'clock In the afternoon, when
the Dora waa 70 miles from the vol
cano, total darkness came and ashes
bewsn to fall In thick clouds upon the
deck, covering it In a ahort time with
a white layer that increased In thick
ness until It was three Inches deep.
The stifling atmosphere gave the pas
seng.rs violent headaches, and the
whole ship's company was In misery,
while all night long the Dora steamed
through the dust-laden air, and was
rocked by the earthquakes that lushed
the water while the mountain thun
dered menacingly In the distance.
ftarrty Is Reached.
At 6 o'rlock Frliluy morning, tha
Dora having steamed SO miles out of
her course, clear air was reached, and
the passengers were able to breathe
freely again. Looking back they could
see the column of smoke and ashes still
pouring out of the volcano.
The Dora was engulfod In darkness
again ttsturrtsy as she nesred Meldnvla
and felt her way csrefully to Reward.
The volcanic disturbance Is the most
violent ever recorded In Alaska. It t
rstlmsted that an area of 300 aquare
miles, much of It fertile territory, has
been covered to a depth of several
inches by the volcanic aah.
The town of Kadlak la at the north
east entremlty of Kodlak Island and Is
farthest removed from Ilia volcano.
Grave fears sre entertained for those
on the other side of the Inland, which
la 't miles long and RO miles wide, aa
there Is no means of communication
