JOINER BRINGS PASSENGERS
FROM DIOMEDE ISLAND
Gene Joiner, bush pilot, made
a trip to Diomede Island Friday
bringing to Nome on the return
trip, Johnny Iyapana, Frank El
sanga and a native woman en
route to the hospital.
Gene Joiner also made an em
ergency flight from Shishmaref
to Kotzebue, taking the wife of
the postmaster, Mrs. Verne Eutuk
to the hospital. She died the same
day, so Joiner returned the body
to Shishmaref for burial.
The two boys from Diomede
brought in a masterpiece of carv
ing; a large, masted schooner, com
plete with rigging and minute de
tails. The ship is on display at
Polet’s Store.
KOYUK NEWS
KOYUK, Alaska.
April 14. 1948
Nome Nugget:
We had the earliest seagull here
in Koyuk on the seventh of this
month, April. That was the ear
liest seagull this spring.
Here in Koyuk the people are
short of food and they are hook
ing tomcods every day. Everybody
is busy hauling house logs to make
a house and make lumber for
boats. Every day the south wind
blows hard. One day *we saw a
red balloon traveling four feet
above the ground. It went north
wards.

BILLIKIN BRINGS GOOD LUCK
TO POLAR BEAR HUNTER
E. V. Wunderlich, sportsman of
Chicago, who came north sever
al weeks ago to bag a polar bear,
visited in Shishmaref on his way
south following several unsuccess
ful attempts.
During his stay in Shishmaref.
Wunderlich was given a billikin,
Gene Joiner his pilot relates, and
was told of the good luck quali
ties of the charm. The day follow
ing, he made another try to catch
himself a polar bear, and in a
few hours his efforts were reward
ed. He had finally shot a polar
bear. The credit, of course, went
to the good luck charm, the bil
likin, which he had carried.
