AFTER THREE YEARS.
LOST SHIP APPEARS. BATTLE WITH THE ICE. Lloyd’s recently received a report that a ship, abandoned three years ago, had appeared. In August, 1924, the motor schooner Lady Kindersley, belonging to the Hudson Bay Co., set out for the Canadian Northern Police posts, carrying provisions and intending to collect a cargo_ of furs. A message from Nome states that she had drifted ashore at Kuliohiun Bay (Siberia) and was being plundered'bv the natives. If this report was true “she had drifted about 6W miles. When seven miles off Point Barrow, Alaska, she was caught in heavy icepack and could make no progress. Soon she became surrounded by closepacked ice and was seriously damaged. Attempts were made to reach open water by hacking channels in the ice, hut time after time the crew were forced to Teturn to the ship exhausted. All hopes of saving her were given up. and the shin was abandoned and reported totally lost. Government preparations were made for sending a seaplane to rescue the l marooned crew, who were, however, subsequentlv saved by the United States steamer Boxer.
