SEATTLE, Wash. (Special) —
Red points or no red points, there
is plenty of venison at arm’s reach
for a group of 25 coast guardsmen
manning a radio base on a barren
Bering Sea Island. They made
sure of that by importing a herd
of reindeer from a larger island
aboard a cutter.
The crew of the cutter and
Aleutian natives rounded up 30
head of antlered beauties on St.
Matthew Island, carried them
aboard in sretchers, and fed them
several days. He brought in John
Kirshman for induction into the
army.
Pilot Frank Whaley of the Wien
Airlines made a trip to Shishma
ref and Teller with Mrs. Kenneth
Kakoona and Roy Ninzelook.
This morning Wien Airlines
made a trip to Deering and Kotze-!
bue with Harold Dimmick and
Fred Goodhope for Deering and
Joe Walsh of the C.A.A. for Kot-1
zebue. i
tundra grass enroute to their new
home, according to Coast Guard i
Chief Motor Machinist’s Mate
John Chandick. “We selceted 30 j
of the best—that’s all we had
room for—and secured them to i
stretchers. That was so they would
not kick and hurt themselves, i
Some of them weighed up to 300
pounds. Then we put 15 each into
two cages on the open deck and j
bedded them down with grass. We
even installed fountains with run-,
ning water. J
The trip was uneventful, the1
coast guardsman related, and the
herd was delivered intact, does;
and bucks alike. Chandick said the'
reindeer would be slaughtered
only in an emergency and that l
the herd should double itself in
about 3 years. He explained that
violent storms and operations of (
war might have interfered with
regular trips to the lonely outpost,!
which is near no other island.
The cutter, w-hich had been on
antisubmarine patrol, was chosen
for its unique job w-hile on a sum
mer supply run.
“It’s quite a gap between drop
ping depth charges and playing
nursemaid to a herd of deer,”
Chandick admitted, ‘-but we had
lots of fun at that.”
