I side. I was hanging to the boat
'and Bernhofer 'was Brimming towart
it. I reached out and pulled him
up to the boat. Hla eyes wore
bloodshot and he would not answer
my query as to how he felt.
"When Running started for shore
ho called out that he was going and
looked at Beruhofer as though ex
pecting him to go along with him,
but the latter just gazed at him
and did not appear to realize the
situation. The boat rolled again
and the next time I saw Bernhofer
lie was on the opposite side of the
boat to everyone else, hanging on
to tho side.
"I said, 'What's tho matter, Hen
ry?' bur. he just stared and did not
answer.
"The l.oat then rolled toward me
and I said, 'Shove off, Henry, the
boat is liable to hit you.' He shov
ed back about ten feet and then
started to swim slowly toward tho
boat. Then lie stopped.
"I then said to Jud Matthews,
'Reach out out something to Henry,
I Jud,' and Jud shoved out his leg
and told Henry to catch it, but
tho latter did not seem to see It
or to know what was going on.
"When about six feet from the
boat Bernhofer threw up his hands
and went down so suddenly that I
thought something or someone unde
wat°r had grabbed him and pulled
him down.
I "Jud Matthews was the hero of
the occasion and the coolest and
most resourceful of any man on
board. He saved Boone and myself
and would doubtless have saved
| Bernhofer, too, had not his atten
tion been attracted to the other
end of the boat at tho critical mo
ment when Bernhofer went down.
As it wr.s ho offered him his foot
to clint: to but Bernhofer failed to
take advantago of tho offer.
"Matthews also saved Sam Rad
| os by pulling him up on the boat.
I He was the only man who was abov
water all the time and kept four or
fivo of us from drowning. If it
had not been for Jud, several more
<-"f our party would undoubtedly
have been lost.
"Tom Running also deserves
much praise for his work of swim
ming to land, negotiating the almos
impassible shore line and reaching
J the dock in time to get help to
go to *be rescue of those whose
I lives had already been saved sev
eral times by Matthews, but whose
work would have proved futile had
not the assistance come just as it
did.
Goo. ijlnck's Story
The story of Geo. Mack, the own
er of the boat, is substantially the
same as Jud Matthews up to the
time they reached the scene of the
accident. He says:
"When we got within about half
:• mile of Sturgill's wood camp we
were pretty well over toward the
eastern shore,—not more than a
quarter of a mile out There was a
pretty stiff breeze blowing and the
| water was rather rough. Although
1 continued to keep the boat trlm
| med, the passengers were restless
from the shaking up they were get
ting and would crowd from one side
of the boat to the other.
"While throwing the boat out to
round a point the people on board
all crowded to port, and though I
held the tiller hard over I failed to
right the boat and the water, pour
ing over the port gunwale, capsiz
ed it.
"There was no reason for either
Hell, Logan or Maturein being
drowned, as they were all good
swimmers, and the two former swam
around the boat for a long time be
fore they started for shore. They
could easily have reached it then,
but for some unaccountable reason
when they got pretty nearly there
they appeared to become confused
and commenced to swim around
aimlessly, soon afterward going
down.
"Maturein was an especially
| strong swimmer, but he refused to
1 leave his companions and lost his
life In trying to save the colored
woman. Myrtle, whom he caught an
placed back on the boat innumer
J able times aftec she had lost her
hold and was drifting out of reach.
He exerted himself to such an ex
lent that he became exhausted and
died while lying stretched on the
boat."
Snm Peterson's Story
S» Sam Peterson, one of the sur
t vlvors of the accident,, and who
£ is entitled to such words of praise
£ as are enly accorded heros, by
i noon yesterday had recovered suffi
[ cently to be Been by a reporter,
£ and told the following story of the
[ accident.
[ "I arrived from Fairbanks last
week, whero I bad gone early in the
.season in search vL work, ana
while teer& (lid a :i jpwtmg.
Not being ablo to mv c a i of '
there, 1 decided on ecu icg ui, iu
going to Juneau, whuro X luou^iil
I could get work of some kind. 1
arrived in Skagway and immediate
ly tried to get a boat for Juneau,
and learning of the trip to be made
by tho Superb, secured accomoda
tions 011 that boat together with my
partner, who was aa irishman, but j
I can't lemeniber his name. iicj
nad worked iu the Atllu district,
uud had just come out from there.
"I can't say for sure whether
there were twenty-one or twenty- J
two on the boat when we left Skag
way Friday night at about nine
o'clock. Tho jyeat'ier wasn't too
bad when we left. When about
30 miles down the canal we met
with a severe storm, and after try
ing to weather it for some time, it
was mutually agreed that we re- i
turn to Haines, where we could
secure something to eat, as wo had
been out for some time. When we j
arrived in Haines it was about one
o'clock. Wo all went up town,
where some of tlio boys got some-1
thing to eat, but could got nothlnj
to drink. There wore soino people J
who wanted to com» to Skagway,
and everybody whom wo saw said
that there was no likelihood of thol
wind dying down, so we decided to
return here. By the time we left j
Haines, the wind seemed to have
increased, and the waves wore run
ning high. We left lour people at
Halnea. Geo. Matthews, Clark,
Oakos, and a man who is believed
to be some kind of a preacher. We
took on in their places. Price, Mat
urely Logan and a negro woman
by the name of Alyrtle, (better j
known throughout this part of tho |
as the "Smoked Swede.") Nobody
had secured a drop of liquor of any
kind, as tho places were all closed,
some of the boys hid secured a
few sandwiches and cookies at the |
bakery. Wo left H.ilnes about two
o'clock. After we had crossed the
canal to the east si-le, it did not
seem rough. The inside of tho
cabin was all crowded, and those!
who could not get into the cabin 1
were in the cock-pic on the after
part of the launch. Tuero was some
baggage in the stern of the vessel,
some iusido and sor.'.e sacks i d
suit cases lahed on top of the
cabin, but mose of the baerua i
cludlng a trunk was in the stei n j
of the boat. There were no pnssen- j
gens on tho top or forward dc«*k of
tho boat.
"Everything went along pretty
well. I am quite sure that there
was only a very small quantity o:
tieer and uui one siumi nSsK ui
whiskey 011 board, v>*hich h>id all
been drunk before we sot abreast
of Haines 011 the souili bound trip,
nnd I do not think that anybody
got any liquor of any kind at Haine.,
I can positively stato that nobod;
was intoxicated at any time during
the trip, and while I am 011 the sub
ject, I would like to state that who
ever says that any of the party
wero druuk are telling a falsehood.
"When we had ranched a point
several hundred yards south of the
sawmill (Sturgill's) the boat rode
on a big wave, and the wind caught
the stern end of her and turned her
around so that the bow pointed out
into the channel. 1 should think
that we were about one third dis
tance across the channel at tho time,
and when she made the quick turn,
the port side o£ tho boat was under
water, and tho windows were
broken in, and the boys 011 the
starboard side wero thrown to the
other side. The water began rush
ing through tiic windows and door
ways, and everybody made a wild
rush for the forward and aft doors.
Before we could get out, the boat
turned completely up-side-down, and
another man and I were in tho cabin.
I felt my way to tho door, and got
out under the boat, and somebody
was hanging to my overcoat which
was a big heavy one. This man
held on to me and held me under
the water, just how long I cannot
say, but when I got tc the surface,
I struck for the bo:it which had
dr'**ed some distance away. 1 reach
th© oveiturned boat and hung on
to a rail. The man who had clung
onto my coat had let go, and 1
did not see him come to the sur
face. Everytime a hi;? wave would
strike the boat, it wonid turn over,
and we were all forced to lot go
our hold, and then swim for the
boat, when it steadied up a bit.
Few of those in the water U: ; *v how
to swim, and Tom Running and t
had to go out several times and
bring them back to the boat. The
boat upset about fo'ir o'clock, 1
should think, and we hung on an
hour or an hour nnd a half. When
1 first came to the surface there
were six missing. There was one
woman, and with two oiher men, 1
tried to hold her 011 the ho::t. In
our efforts, we almost to;o her
clothing off from her. Each time
the boat would wallow in the trough
and Ave would have to loosen our
hold, when we returned wo would
