ANDERSON NOT LOST
The Ancient Side-Wheeler Is
Safe at Dutch Harbor.
A SERIOUS CRISIS AT DAWSON
FreTlons Reports Keenrdlnt Short

Details of the Anderson's
Perilous Voyage.
Seattle, Sept. 13. The steamer Hum
boldt arrived this morning, eleven days
from St. Michaels, and brought news
tha the Eliza Anderson is safe. The
Anderson is anchored in Dutch Harbor,
where she arrived on the 4th inst., and
where she is now detained by revenue
officers. Her passengers have by this
time entered Behring eea on the schoon
er chartered for that purpose. ;
Two passengers of the Anderson were
so frightened that they gave np their
search for gold and returned south on
the steamer Humboldt. . ' .j
The Humboldt brought back fourteen
passengers and about $15,000 in gold.
Mayor Wood, who chartered the Hum
boldt, is still at St. Michaels, but letters
received from him indicate that all is
well with him and that stories of dissen
sion and strife on the part of members
of the expedition are untrue.
The Humboldt brings back news
which reiterate the stories of the untold
wealth of the Klondike and Yukon, and
verifies the previous rumors of a short
age of the food supply in the interior.
"There will be privation, sickness, star
vation, scurvy and death on the Yukon
this winter" i& what returninggold hunt
ers say.
Only seven of the passengers on the
Humboldt have money. It is impossi
ble to get tbein to say what they have,
but the purser of the Humboldt who
knows about the amount of gold brought
back, give9 the following figures :
G. A. WHgner $ 900
E. Turner 500
J. F. Crieder 2,000
W. Urquhardt 900
J. D. Rogers 2,000
D. F. Atkins 4,500
Captain J. Whitegides 4,200
CONDITIONS AT DAWSON.
J. N. Secretan, who came back on the
Humboldt, and who has but very little
cash, says be came out to avoid starva
tion at Dawson. He said :
"Thus tar upwards of 1500 men have
pushed their way over the passes from
Skaguay and Dyea, and have arrived at
Dawson City. The influx of miners
over the passes has frightened old-timers
in the interior, and all that can com-
xnand money are coming out to winter
in the states, and thus avoid what, they
believe to be a winter of hardship, suf
fering, perhaps murder and thievery.
A SEKIES OF MISHAPS.
"We left Dawson on July 26, on the
the steamer P. B. Weare. At midnight
on the 27th the steamer ran on a bar be
low Circle City. After waiting seven
days we were transferred to the steamer
Healy, and arrived at 'St. Michaels on
August 25.
"On the next day we took the Excel
sior for San Francisco, on the morn
ing of 27, the Excelsior went aground in
ten feet of water in Behring sea, twenty
miles from land. The passengers moved
twenty tons of coal from her hold to
lighten her, and at midnight she floated.
having broken two wings of her propel
ler. She reached Ounalaska on Septem
ber 1. On the 2d they tried to beach
her, and on the 3d succeeded. On the
4th they took off her propeller, and on
the 5th put on a new one. On the 6th
she sailed via Unger for Dutch Harbor,
where we took the Humboldt for Seattle.
"On the way from Dawsen City I have
paid three fares. First to the N. A. T.

the andebson's voyage.
W. B. Price, of Danville, 111., who
went np on the Eliza Anderson, and who
left the vessel at Dutch harbor, returned
t
on the Humboldt, and is in this city.'
He said :
"The entire trip was one series of mis
haps. The third day oat from Dixon's
entrance bad weather came on, and the '
wind blew terrifically. The waves would
lift the guard up and leap under it.
During the first night after-the storm be
gan the rudder chain broke! five times.
Of course after this broke there was no
controlling the boat. Every minute it
seemed that it would go over. The pas
sengers were thrown out of their bunks,
and it was possible to stay in bed. The
crew was insufficient to man the pumps,
so the passengers took the pumps in
charge. I myself was placed in charge
of the pumps. I divided the passengers
up into equads of four men each. Each
squad worked two hours. I also' did
sounding to see how much water there
was in the hold. We kept this np for
43 hours and during that time the boat
drifted back 100 miles.
"The second day of our trouble the
other boats of the fleet were in eight.
Then the Merwin, which was being
towed by the Holyoke along with the
Bryant and Politofaky, broke loose and
tbe captain of the Holyoke turned about
with the other two boats in tow and
picket! up the Merwin.
NO COAL TO BE HAD.
"The n.ext place we reached was St.
Paul, on Kodiak island. We should
have taken on coal enough there to get
her to Dutch harbor, but could not get
it. After leaving St. Panl the sea was
very heavy and we were forced to cruise
along the shore. We got within 160
miles of Dutch harbor when the coal
gave out. We were rigging a small boat
to send out for relief when we sighted a
small fishing smack with one man in it.
He told us we could reach an abandoned
cannery about twenty miles distant,
where coal had been lying for five or six
years. We just had about enough coal
to reach that point. All day long the
passengers worked in a drizzling rain to
take on coal.
. "Finally, on September 4th, we
reached Dutch harbor. Captain .Cooper,
of the Northern revenue squadron,
boarded us at Dutch harbor, and eeeing
tbe unseaworthy condition of the An
derson, forbade her to go further. It
was not necessary for him to go below
deck, but immediately upon seeing that
we had an insufficient number of life
boats, he gavje the order to tie up there.
The passengers of the Anderson, with
the exception of George Scott and my
self, raised $1000 to charter the schooner
Barinoff, to take the passengers from
there to St. Michaels.. The conditions
of the trip. of the Anderson from Dixon's
harbor cannot be pictured too vividly !"
It was a remarkable statement that
Captain Chilcoot, one of the incorpora
tors of tbe company which runs the An
derson, made -to Captain Bonifield, of
the Humboldt this morning. He said :
"We knew the Anderson was unsea
worthy, especially for an ocean voyage,
but we were bound to get her there any
way. We put her in charge of one of
the best sea captains on this coast,
Captain Powers. If anybody could get
her there he could." ,
THE HOMBOLDT'S PASSENGERS.
There were ocly two passengers who
went up on the Humboldt 'who decided
to return and make the trip again from
Seattlein tbe spring. They were Dr. A.
C. Posey, of Oakland, Cal., and J. A.
Williams, of San Francisco. .
The Humboldt's complete passenger
list is as follows : Dr. A. C. Posey, Mrs.
E. Cronister, G. A. Wanger, E. Turner,
J. F. Crider, W. Urquhardt, J. F. Will
iams, Captain J. Whiteside and wife,
W. B. Price.'George Scott, J. N. Scretan,
Mrs. Woodward and five children. J. B.
Rogers, D. F. Atkins, Mrs. A. Clark. '
Indigeston is often' taken for con
sumption. The word consnmptoin
means wasting away, and dyspeptics
often waste away as badly as consump
tives. , The reason people waste away is be
cause either they don't get enough to
eat, or they don't digest what they do
eat.'
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This will
help yon to digest your food and stop
your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and tbe juices of fruit,
by the well-known Shakers at Mount
Lebanon. It possess great tonic and
digestive powers.

day with his hand badly lacerated and
bleeding, and suffering great pain," says
Mr. E. J. Schall, with Meyer Bros.'

the wound, and applied Chamberlain's

know of np other medicine or prescrip
tion equal to it. I consider it a house
