GAMBELL NEWS
Sixty years ago one summer
day in 1891, a little schooner
dropped anchor off Gambell Point.
A big line of rope was tied secure
ly on both ends, one end to the
ship, and the other end to the
beach. Lumber in bundles was
lowered into the water and towed
to the beach by skin canoe. This
was the first lumber unloaded to
the beaches of St. Lawrence Is
land. One white man remained
I on the island to build the first
lumber house, now called “Gam
bell Presbyterian Mission”.
Nothing could have been more
exciting to the eyes of the Eskimos
than, the building of this lumber
house. According to the best sto
ries, most of the nails were driven
in with walrus jaw-bones, because
there were no hammers at that
time. The completed building re
! mained unoccupied for two or
three years. The first missionaries
to come were Mr. and Mrs. Vene
C. Gambell with their little daugh
i ter.
Some years back, tourists’ boat
“Stranger” sneaked around St.
Lawrence Island and finally got
around to Ponuk Island, the little
island which is laden with fresh
as well as old ivory. With pick and
shovel they managed to dig up
some very beautiful fossil ivory.
Then they left. It wasn’t long be
fore we heard that the U.S. Coast
Guard had taken back all the
ivory stolen!
Same thing happened just re
cently, but it was a different party
that did it. It was reported that
the ivory from Ponuk Island had
been taken away again. Ivory
from about twenty dead walrus
was taken. A hatchet was found
Anchorage Restaurants
Closed Three Hours Friday
While Workers Meet
ANCHORAGE, (/P)—Anchorage
spent a hungry three hours Fri
day when most of its restaurants
closed after negotiations broke
down between operators ^nd the
Hotel Restaurant Employes Union.
Hundreds of tourists, govern
ment and railway employes and
downtown store workers scram
bled for seats in the few small
restaurants which remained open.
• The culinary workers left their
jobs just before noon to attend a
meeting. They sent an offer to
! the operators and said they would
hold another similar meeting Sat
urday to discuss the owners’ reply.
The union is seeking a 30 per
cent increase across the board. At
present cooks received $17 a day,
pantrymen $12.75, waitress $9. The
operators offered raises of 60 cents
a day for cooks, 35 for waitresses.
