Boatmen Survive Nine Days on Bear Island After Wreck
Captain Walter Johnson and two crewmen H F Walker and "Chuck" Walker were rescued by Captain Hartman of the Pilgrim after a nine day marooning on Bear Island in Shelikof Strait following the wreck of the gasboat Grizzly. They were weak and frostbitten, subsisting on canned soup and condensed milk with limited shelter. Dr N F Silverberg treated them at Kanaak before they continued to Kodiak for another vessel.
