ST. LAWRENCE
NOME, Nov. 17..—The schooner
Ukivak, captained by Duffy O'Con
nor, sailed for St. Lawrence Island
with a load of supplies for the na
tive inhabitants of the island, who
are believed to be short of food
owing to the failure of the Bear to
land there before her departure
south. The Bear was unable to
land either supplies or the govern
ment school teachers, Mr. and Mrs.
Burns, and carried them to Dutch
Harbor.
The relief expedition was financed
by Geo. R. Goshaw and others and
is supplied with enough food to last
the islanders until the government
supplies are landed by the schoon
er Olgt, now en route from Dutch
JUfarbor, where she picked up the
two school teachers and the store
of provisions carried by the Bear.
The trip of the Ukivak is a hazard
ous one, as sailing ip a small vessel
at this time of the year, when the
storms are on and the freezeup
close at hand, is a decidedly risky j
and unpleasant task.
The sailing of the Ukivak on her
errand of mercy emphasizes the ne
cessity of a united effort by local
organizations- to induce the navy
department to provide a better ship
to replace the antiquated Bear,
which should have been condemned
years ago.

gaged in a search for oil in the vi
cinity of Hastings Creek, suspend
ed operations for the- season after a
very successful summer’s work
which included the drilling of a new
hole to a depth of 582 feet and the
discovery of further excellent indi
cations that mineral oil exists in
same quantity in that area.
Samuel Kean, manager of the com
pany operations stated they had at
tained a depth which -necessitated
the use of a reamer to assist in plac
ing the castings and not having such
an implement, and being short of
casing in addition, decided to close
down.
