ELIM
(Special Nugget Correspondence)
Elim, Alaska, Feib. 16
Blim was again favored with the
return of Misha Charles, the mail
carrier on the Golovin, and Unala
kleet route, when he came In Mon
day the 13th, which is considered
by us as a lucky day instead of
an unlucky one, as Misha Charles
had lost his team, and sled with
the returning * local mall from Un
alakleet.
He was keeping along the edge of
the rough sea Ice between Egavik
and Shaktoolik, fearing^to go out
farther for fear the ice would
break loose and move to sea as
a strong northeast wind was blow
ing at the time; yet all at once he
noticed a crack in the ice and he
immediately turned his dogs across
ft, the team being on solid ice.
He went to the back end of the
sled xo turn it across the -crack
and by that time 'the Ice had moy
ed out enough to pull the dog
team back into the water, and so
he had to pull the dogs back on
the moving ice.
“ Misha Charles having consider
able trouble to get them back on
the Ice flow, It took longer than
he had anticipated, and the open
tag was getting wider all the time
so he decided to leave the team,
sled and
and about three feet long. He
! - i
then took off his parka and rolled
it up for a sort of support under j
•'his chest’ as he lay down on the
'ice cake and paddled with his
hands across the open lead to the •
solid ice near shore.
As soon as he got off the lee
he .“tarted for Egavik to report,
having no dry clothes to change,
he walked clear to Egavik about
ten miles, where he obtained dry
clothing and got a team of dogs
to take him back to Unalakleet,
where he arrived about 10 o'clock
| at night and reported the loss
of the mail, team and sled.
After about four hours sleep,.
he again started for Shaktoolik
and Cape Denby to see if they
could locate the team and sled
and if they had drifted towards
shore anywhere, but they saw
nothing of them, so they began
planning some way to get a boat
to go look for them.
On Wednesday a PAA plane
piloted by Jerry Jones came and
alfter circling over the ice and af
ter locating the dogs and mail
sjed, returned to the beach and
reported their location. Then, the
men went to Mr Payne, the achool
teacher at Shaktoolik, and secured
his boat and motor, and went out
almost to the Island, they traveled
four hours before they sighted the
dog team and sled, the dogs were
somewhat tangled up, but all were
OK.
, dogs, sled
anir maYl in the’ boat and returned
to shore for keeps, as they will
not try the ice any more when
there is any danger of it going
out. We are glad that things
turned out as they did, for Misha
looked as tho he had been sick for
a week when he got home, but his
escape and return of his outfit^with
the mail, seems to tie .nothing
short of miraculous.

We were favored with too short
a visit from the officers of- the
Office of Indian Affairs, from Nome
and Juneau, our visitors were the
MeH|rs, Gordon, educational direc
tor; Dr. Fellows, medical director.
Troast, architect; and L. E. Robin
son, district superintendent. We
werp glad to have them visit us
if for only a couple of hours, and
we hope that hi better iindferstand
ing may be had with the Juneau
office. Our village Oonhcil had
written Mr. Gordon to come and
visit our village and when he came
they met him and were favorably
impressed with him. W'e invite
them to come again and often.
Pilot Rotbblns of the PAA, made
his second stop at Elim yesterday
when he arrived with the officers
of the Indian Affairs, the first
time being In a siiowr storm, this
time in fine weather, and made
an excellent landing, as we have
a good landing field here now,
*bn the ice In front of the village.
Albert Oukon and family were
visitors In Elim last week and Al

The fox catch in this section is
very light this winter, as^ foxes
have, vr-ry . little value. One boy
rrporu.l having taken one fox
and onp lynx to Golovin and re
ceived on.lv five dollars for the
fox and $13 for the lynx, and 80
the natives seem to think *that it
is not worth the time, and expos
ure necessary to get them. One
native man sent six fox and eight
mink outside in the mail, to see
if he could not get a little' more
for them.
The weather for the most part
of February thus far has ‘been ex
ceedingly warm, but last nite the
mercury dropped to 20 below and
was still there at daylight, but we
have had very little wind so far.
The mail has arrived and the
