Pioneer Spirit
Shown In Trip
With Sick Man
Additional details about the recent
sudden illness of Bob Seifert at
Coopers Landing and how residents
of that little community united to
get him to the Seward General Hos
pital was received recently. Mr.
Seifert died some days after arrival
here, but the story connected there
with adds another chapter in the
kindliness and heroism of the peo
ple living in the outlands almost
isolated from their fellowmen for
months in winters, says the Seward
Gateway.
Frontier Spirit
It is all in a day’s work. That is
the way the residents of Cooper’s
Landing view a piece of heroics
which again displays the spirit of
the frontier and the stuff of which
its residents are made.
Included in the names of those
who performed this signally hu
manitarian deed are Fred Dobler,
Harry Clark, CCC enlistees on the
Quartz Creek project; Jack Lean,
mail carrier big game guide and one
of the best dogmushers in Alaska;
Alex Bolam, big game guide and
Chuck Whitmarsh CCC enlistee.
Withering Cold
It was January 2 that those gath
ered in Jake Blanque's snug trap
pers cabin had their after-supper
conversation interrupted by a knock
on the door.
The temperature had crept down
to 14 below zero and those who had
gathered to accept Jake's hospital
ity and escape the withering cold
were thankful.
The door was opened to admit
Dobler and Clark.
“Bob Seifert is dying” said Dob
ler, “and we are mushing thru to
j Moose Pass to summon an airplane."
| “But, it’s dark and the trail to
Moose Pass is a series of glaciers
and ruts caused by the December
storm. You had better wait until
daylight,” it was suggested.
“No, we got to mush thru."
Hazardous Trail
Eighteen miles still intervened be
fore the mushers could find comfort
at Moose Pass. A stiff breeze sprung
up, lifting the sand-like snow of
which there was but a two-inch lay
I er.
It was about 10 o’clock the foll
owing morning when-the sun just
peeked its nose above the mountains
hemming Kenai Lake that Jack Lean
Alex Bolam and Whitmarsh hove in
sight.
Due to the scarcity of snow, deep
ruts left by the “road hog” and
forming water courses during the
heavy rains, it was necessary for
all men to assist the dogs in drag
ging their load over the sandy snow.
Wrapped snugly in blankets and
resting on a mattress. Bob Seifert
had surrendered himself to the jolt
ing and swinging of the sled, each
move of which brought excruciating
pain in his gangreened leg
The dogs, 11 in number, tongues
lolling and lapping the snow strain
ed at their traces as if impressed
with the responsibility imposed up
on them.
As each friend passed Bob they
lifted the blankets and spoke to him.
One could see the telltale signs of
the harbinger of death hovering ov
er the sick man.
“I guess I’ll go over the divide”,
he whispered. “But I'm not afraid
to die in the hand of such friends
as these; goodbye.”
The trail thus far had covered
a distance of approximately 10 mil
es over an automobile road, thence
across the ice of Lake Kenai and
up the Quartz Creek valley. Then
it swung along the foothills which
had been roughened out road width,
but which had suffered its full share
of the havoc wrought by the run
ners spanning it.
At one place it was necessary
to unhook the dogs and literally lift
the sled along a narrow ridge insuf
ficient to permit of the sled-runners
spanning it.
A torrent of water had rusnea
down cutting a three-foot ditch be
tween the outer rim of the road and
the steep cut bank. At glaciated
spots, which intervened about ev
ery half-mile with smaller glace here
and there, it was necessary for Bol
am and Whitmarsh to cling to pre
carious footing on the moss rim
above and, with lines, hold the sled
while Lean guided it across the
hazards.
To slip meant a plunge of sever
al feet down the steep slope below'.
Reach The Pass
Once the six miles of hard going
were negotiated, the Moose Pass
highway with its additional snow
and packed surface, and the Weav
er home where a fire always burns
and the wayfarer finds the latch
string ever on the outside of the
door the little crew which had won
across that hazardous trail, were
able to breathe a moment of relief
for the next dash of five miles to
Moose Pass Station.
There, Seifert was loaded upon a
train bound for Seward.
