Dear Mr. Boucher:
We have new teachers now, and
the school is on the full swing with
an enrollment of 125, or more. Mr.
and Mrs. Warbelow previous to
their appointment here were teach
ers at Shungnak, Alaska. Mr.
Warbelow is a pilot and he’ll pos
sibly have many followers of boys.
Stephan Ivanoff has been very
successful in cacthing whale and
young oogruk this fall. He caught
9 whale, and the Elim people
caught 21 whale in* one day, by
shooting them. Arthur Upickson
helped them to round them up
with his 22 horsepower boat.
The old man winter fooled all
the gardners here. We pulled all
the prize vegetables we were sav
ing for the Nome Fair display. Too
bad. I ’m afraid they won’t look
fresh when they do get to Nome,
Oct. 6.
Ray Klementsen was taken ill
last night with an attack of appen
dices. He’s on his way to have it
removed in Nome.
Mr. Londborg and Mr. Amund
sen came last week with a load of
caribou, which they caught up
north. They reported herds of1
them there, and here at Unala- j
kleet, we’re hungry for meat.
Thanks very much for the Nome
Nuggets you’ve sent.
Sincerely,
Emily I. Brown
