J
County Attorney to Ask Klaver
Case and City Election
Be Investigated
Here.
County Attorney Henry Real an
nounced Ththsday that he will ask
Presiding Judge Fitzgerald to call a
grand jury to investigate various mat
ters that have Rccuumulated and
which cannot be disposed of by ordi
nary procedure.
One of these is the Sam Klaver af
fair. Klaver, a former deputy county
assessor, was accused by llemann
Xachschoen, garage proprietor, of
solooiting money from him for favors.
When Real's offlre sought a sworn
statement from Nachschoen on the
alleged transaction, the garage man
refused to talk, though ha declared
lie had been “robbed."
“Slanderous Statements.'’
“Another tiling," said Beal, “is the
slanderous statements circulated dur
ing the recent city campaign In a
printed sheet, charging Mayor Dahl
man with various crimes too ridiculous
for intelligent people to believe, but
which the less intelligent might be
lieve.
'if such campaigns of scandal can
lie waged unpunished the time will
soon come when respectable men
will decline to run for office.
"There are numerous other things
In the air that can he solved only by
means of a grand jury. That body
can make people talk where my office
'annul. And the time Is certainly
here when we require one. I'll take
It tip with the presiding Judge and
do all 1 can to have one called."
The last grand jury was called here
about three years ago. Attorney
General Clarence Davis asked for it
in order to investigate "blue aky"
cases. It indicted a large number of
prominent men. Rut jiot a single
conviction resulted.
“It cost the county $7,>,000,” said

w ’rt swim and awlm until he
cut im no longer.
“1 multi be no worse to drown
than t i starve to death," said he. But
somehow he never could make up
his mind to try It.
He was thinking about this ss ha
sat in tlie doorway. He was trying
to get tip his courage to plunge into
the water and swim, lie happened to
hole off to h's left, and he saw a
piece of board floating. It was mov
ing very, very slowly, hut it was mov
ing towards that feme post. It was
a small piece of hoard, but It was
big enough for a couple of Meadow
Mice to sit on. Danny said nothing
until he was sure that if that little
piece of board kept on it would pass
close to the post. Then he scrambled
out and called to Nanny. Nanny
poked iter head out at once.
"I believe we are going to huve a
chime t > get away from here, Nan
ny." cried Danny. "If that piece of
hand over there keeps on drifting
uhe way it is going now it will get
to shore sometime. If we can get
on it It will take us there."
"But it will take a long time," pro
tested Nanny. "It will take a long
time, and all that time we will t>e
right in plain sight of Becltail the
Hawk if he comes along. Besides,
witii two of us on it that board might
upset, and then we would be
drowned."
“Then th'at would end it," declared
Danny. "If we stay here we'll starve
to death. If we go drifting on that
piece of board we may he caught by
Rcdtail the Hawk or we may be upset
and drowned, but we may reach land.
It offers us a chance, and I for one
am going to take that chance.”
The bit of hoard drifted away front
the port with two as wared little
passengers as ever lived.
Nanny said nothing. They watched
that bit of board drifting nearer and
nearer. Finally it actually touched
that post. Without a word Danny
inn down onto It. Nanny hesitated.
She hesitated until that hit of hoard
with Danny on It was starting to
drift away. Then she, too. ran down
onto it. Tlie hit of hoard drifted away
from the post with two as scared
little passengers as ever lived.
They squatted down’ as flat as Ihey
could. The Merry Little Rreezcs made
liny waves on the water, and these
rocked the little p|pce of hoard. Some
limps they washed right over it.
Danny and Nanny flung there, di
vided between fear and hope. One
minute they would be sure til* end
was at hand as a little wave would
rock their craft and the water would
wash over it. The next minute hope
would spring up again aa they would
s»e that they . er* actually nearer
land.
Now’ the Merry Little Breeies saw
the trouble that Danny and Nanny
were in, and ware trying to help
them. They were trying to blow them
ashore. They couldn't help making
little waves when they blew, so they
kept right on blowing. And so at
last Just as round, red. Jolly Mr. Run

Port Aloller, Alaska, May 14.—(De
layed.)—After our arrival at L'hignik
Ihe 251 h of April, storms, high winds
and snows prevented our departure
for I'nalaska until the morning of the
loth. Sens breaking over the plane's
pontoons ihe nigltt of the 27th left a
deposit of 400 pounds of ice.
The morning of the .'iOlli was calm
and overcast. The radio reported fa
vocable conditions to I’nalaska. We
left at It a. m,, ever so happy to Join
the other members of the night.
Plane Enters Ktig;
Strikes Mountain.
After one hour of Hying we struck
a fog and, trapped in it, at 12:110 crash
ed against a mountain. Both .Sergeant
Harvey and myself miraculously es
raped Injury. The ship was demol
ished except the fuselage. The strik
ing of the pontoon* of the plane
agalnsp a gentle slope, surfaced with
snow, and the sturdy construction of
the ship, saved us.
In that twisted mass of wreckage
lies all my hopes and ambitions and
the greatest opportunities of any man
in recent years forever lost.
No information as to our position
Was obtainable on account of the In
accuracy of the hydrographic i-huits
and the fog.
We packed our haversacks and aft
er eating the lunch provided by Mrs.
Osmund at Chignlk we left at 2 p.
m. to go directly south to the Pacific
Ctast line. Fog blinded us completely
and In the snow we could proceed on
ly with difficulty. It whs difficult to
maintain our balance and being un
able to walk straight changed our
course every hundred feet—invaria
bly en error.
Plane Broken I p
To Build Fire.
We knew we were climbing con
•stantly but not a steep grade. We
realized 4he hopelessness of contin
uing on account of the danger of
walking over a cliff. We followed our
tracks buck to ’the wrecked airship
and made a fire of the broken parts
of the ship. VVe put Ihe metal cowl
ing of the plane under the fire to pre
vent melting a hole in Ihe glacier
formation.
Ws dragged the wlpgs of the plane
together on the left side of the fuse
lage to break the wind, chinked the
crack* with cake* of ice d^ig from a
pit around the fire, had a tablespoon
of liquid concentrated food and wear
ing our few flying clothes retired in
the baggage compartment of the fuse
lage.
It was awfully crowded and cold—
two six-foot men crowded into a space
intended for one. The fog continue
until May 1. We remained with
the ship and made ourselves more
comfortable.
On May 1 we left at 5 a. tn. fol
lowing the compass due south, the
fog continuing and the going as dlf
ficult as on the Sftth.
Reach Edge of Creek
After Three Ilnurs.
We came to a full realization of
the seriousness of our predicament.
We finally struck down grade to a
small crock after three hours' hiking
and crossed the creek, t'llmbing a
mountain on the other side, of the
creek we narrowly averted walking
over the declivity of the top.
We returned to the creek and dr

altnough causing a longer hike but
easier to travel and below the fog.
At 4 p. m. we passed through a
gorge in the mountain with a level
marshy expanse ahead. Visibility
was possible for about four miles. We
made camp in an abler thicket by Ihe
creek on brush laid on the snow. We
gathered a bed of alders for fire
through the night. We had little rest
anil no sleep, as we were shivering
with cold, being dad only In an ordi
nary uniform with unlonalls over It.
; had difficulty in drying my feet and
was afraid to continue to the north
vest on account of no fuel and no
information of inhabitants in the lo
cality.
We left early on the morning of
Ihe .Id to return to the ship for the
night and then made efforts to reach
the Pacific coast line on the south.
We could not camp except at the ship
on account of no fuel.

adventure in the air and on land amid Arctic conditions unparalleled
In the history of ailallon and an epic In narrative, International New*
Service today received the log of the disastrous flight of the plane Seattle of
the American arnund-theunrld flight kept by Maj. h'rederiek !„. Martin,
commander of the flight. The log was sent by a little cannery radio station
at Port Muller through several relays to the I'nited States.
terribly with snow blindness. 1
treated his eyes with borle ar id from
my first aid kit at the ship.
The fog lifted slightly at 7 a. m.
on Ihe morning of the 4th and we
di parted from the wrecked ship never
to return, determined to reach the
coast.
We left for the top of the moun
tain southeast from where we sftw
the- hopelessness of trying to go due
south on account of a line of jagged
mountain peaks. We saw a lake to
the southwest and struck for it, hop
ing to find someone. We were forced
to camp In an alder thicket about
three miles from the lake on account
of exhaustion and daylight fading.
We saw many hear tracks in the
snow. We struggled for hours in
the brush and snow getting a wood
supply dry enough to burn. We
shivered throughout the night, eter
nally vigilant to keep the fire going.
Fortunately each of us killed a
ptarmigan, one for supper and the
other for breakfast. We arrived at
the lake about noon on the fifth day,
but saw no signs of life.
Struggle Through Swamp;
( amp in Canyon.
We struggled on. Sergeant Harvey
leading, over a swamp. It was rough
going for myself, as I was partly
snow blind. We made camp at S p.
m in a small dry canyon at the base
ot a mountain. There was no grass
for bunks, but plenty of dry wood.
We each slept about four hours dur
ing the night—our first real rest.
We were now following a wide val
ley near a stream entering from the
south.
We had always believed we would
survive—1 because of my wife and
son, and Harvey because of his
mother—so we struggled on all the
harder.
1 was still snow blind, but wearing
goggles made it possible for me to
see slightly. Sergeant Harvey was
physically weak but determined and
displayed great strength of character
and determination.
The valley ended in the mountains
dose In on the stream. The snow be
came deeper—about four feet in depth
—with the crust giving often now. We
climbed the side of the mountain to
obtain a view of the topography but
were prevented from reaehlng the top
by the steepness and a snowsllde.
Find New Stream
Flowing Southward.
We returned to the valley and
walked atiout three miles when we
found a new stream flowing south
ward. CJreat hopes sprang up with
this discovery.
We were nearing exhaustion. I
could scarcely see. We decided to
make camp. Sergeant Harvey in
vestigating a small canyon half a
mile distant for a prospective camp
site returned with the Information
that It afforded n" facilities but that
he ins' a lake or bay three miles to
the south.
AA'e decided we would gather
strength that night for our greatest
ordeal. It was necessary for us t<>
grasp alders for support. A light
north breeze sprang,up. AVe hail seen
bear tracks one foot in diameter all
through the valley and ma,nv caribou
tracks in the swamp.
In ths morning after three tea
spoonsful o£ our rations w« departed
at 4 a. m. with renewed hope. AA'e
had to travel on t lie rock* at the
edge of 4 stream to make any
progress.
Seagulls First Hint
01 Sen Coast.
The valley broadened. Sergeant
Harvey yelled:
"Major! I see seagulls.”
I replied: “Thank God! That means
salt water.”
A few hours previous we had not
iced the stump of a sapling cut by *n
ax. it was the first sign of living
man and the greatest possible tonic
for exhaustion. Then we saw the
liacks of a man and a dog in the
snow. AVe knew we were nearing
human habitation. Then we saw the
ceenn.
This was too much for us. The best
we could do to celebrate was to sit on
a tuft of grass and smoke cigarets.
Our cheeks were sunken, our eyes in
flamed, our hands and faces were
stained walnut color from smoke and
contact with the snow. AVe had eight
days of hard stubble beard.
When we had walked along the
beach around a little point we saw a
tiapper'a cabia and our joy wae un
restrained. The walking was much
easier and we quickly reached the
cabin. It had very recently been de
serted as we found batter for .Johnny
cakes In a pitcher.
I started around the room of the
cabin in quest of food and saw a
piece of hard tack and some dried
peaches. I found flour and salted
pickled salmon bellies.
Cli-wt Real Meal
In Trapper's Cabin.
I made flour hot enkes for the first
time in my life and how good they
tasted!
AVe each ate two and slept in bed
ding for the first time.
I made more hot cakes when we
awoke and each of us ate four with
syrup. Food never tasted so good
before. I put the fish to soak and we
slept till morning when we hud
creamed salmon and hot cakes for
breakfast.
We were still very weak. It had
been snowing since in the night. How
lucky In all this time there had been
no rain, very light snow and prac
tically no wind. Now we are safe.
A divine providence has protected us.
AVe secured more sleep. It turned

information that we were near Port

for dinner—such wonderful eats!
After fried hare, hot cakes and
gravy--a true southern breakfast—
we placed the cabin in order and at
7:45 departed for Port Moller, 20 miles
distant.
Our strength had returned, but we
tired out quickly. It was easy walk

over cliffs and huge rocks which
blocked the way. At 2 p. m. we
lunched on roast duck, hare and hard
tack—great motive power for weary

We sighted the cannery at 4 p. m.,
with smoke issueing from the stack.
It was the end of the trail.
