St. Nicholas Arrives With 37,-
852 Cases of Salmon.
BRINGS SHIP-WRECKED CREW
Ships Brings Good and Bad News from
Alaska Canning District Deor Hagen
Is Drowned in Nushagak River Vo
lant's Crew Aboard Ship.
American ship St. Nicholas, 13 days
from Nushagak arrived in yesterday
with 37,852 cases of salmon, consigned
to the Columbia River Packers' associa
tion. Superintendent of the Cannery
Belland and Mrs. Belland, aa well as the
cannerv crew, fishermen and an Indian
boy, whom Mr. Belland baa adopted ai
a protege, were passengers on the St.
Nicholas. The run this year is reported
as exceptionally good and if the cans
had been provided 50,000 eases could
have been packed.
Doer 1 illicit, a young fisherman of this
t-itv, who was making his first season
on the Nushagak, lost his life through
an accident while delivering fish. He
was suddenly seen to fall into the river
from the stern of a craft, and although
a life buoy was thrown and other efforts
made to save him, a swift tide carried
the young fellow beyond human aid aud
he was drowned. The brother of the
unfortunate man was a passenger on the
St. Nicholas.
Four members of the crew of the ill
fated schooner Volant, which was
wrecked iu Kuskokwin harbor July 21,
were aboard the St. Nicholas, and besides
offering the first real intelligence of the
loss of the schooner made some startling
disclosures which will probably result in
the discomfiture of Captain Lutgen, their
kipper. -
While unloading bercargo in Kukok
wim harbor the Volant was overtaken
j by a severe storm. The starboard
anchor was thrown out, but trie chain
soon parted and the hook was lost. The
port anchor then followed. Captain Lut-
I ien then started to sail over the mild
banks in the harbor. The craft started j
to pound and in addition to losing a piece i
of her keel the Volant sprung leaks!
everywhere, and Vas rapidly filling when
the kip'er determined to make a run
for the Kuskokwim river. The liont was
finally beached. The crew had to re
main on the Kuskokwim for some time,
but were finally taken to Nushagak on
a small schooner. Here Captain Lutgen,
so the crew say, told them a new law
bad been enacted which provided .that
the government should pay the passage
home ; of all shipwrecked sailors. He
left them -with the understanding that
he would arrange for their lieing taken
to San Francisco on the revenue cutter
Perry. This was the last seen of the
skipper and it is known he went to San
Francisco on the Perry.
The men-were left at Nuhagak with
no means of obtaining passage home, but
finally, excepting the mate and cook,
Frederick Fredericks, William Bowlby,
Frank Form and Hans Egglitzky, ,were
brought here on the St. Nicholas. Frede
ricks will leave for San Francisco short
ly and will try and prosecute Captain
Lutgen. The Volant was built at Farr-
ham in 1883 and was 172 tons burden.
She was owned by J. J. Mclntyre of
San Francisco.
