Mr. A. C. Conrad, whVi has been

past few years, had a very pec
uliar and near-tragic accident on
the night of the 28th of October,
while enrou e to the Lomcn rein
de r camp situated nine miles
down the biy* from Chinils.
He departed from Ohinik at 4
'n the afternoon, travelling in the
wake of the Misabe tug to take ad
vantage of the lane she made thru
the ice. His dory was equipped
with an outboard motor. ,Mr.
Conrad had with him a native boy
by the name of Paul Buck.
After they had gone a. distance
of three miles down tile hay, and
it was beginning to get dark, Mr.
Conrad sighted someth ng black
in the water in front of him, and
cut off his motor. It. was hut a
moment till the bow of the dory
went up in the air and then the
stern. It seems that the object
Mr. Conrad had sighted was a kill
er whale, that had decided to have
a little fun w'.th the boat.
The dory landed upside down,
tipping out- the anchor. With the
anchore weighing down the bow
and the Bvinrude weighing down
the stern, the boat was out of the
wa er about an inch. Had it not
been for a gasoline tank which
was partially empty, the combin
ed weight of the anchor and the
engine would have submerged the
dory. ■ _
Mr. Conrad realizing that he

the slush ise and the anchor rope
for about two hoars before he
could let go the anchor. The
drifting slush ice was continually
forced over the dory. suhmeVgiiig
the boat under one or ■ two feet
of water, but the men stayed with
the dory.
They shouted for help, and it
speaks well for tlie'r lungs that
they were heard at Chinik. a d:s

to rescue the men.
one at lioiovin realized tnat
a person’*) voice coud carry such
a distance. The boys soon came
back, reporting that the men were
much farther out than had been
estimated.
Mr. Undem then gave then an
outboard motor and they again
struck out. They followed around
the beach, avoiding the ice as
much as possible, and arriving at
the scene of the accident found
the two men on the upturned boat.
It was about miidnlght when they
got back to Chinik.
It was discovered that Mr. Con
rad’s bahids and knees were badly
frozen. Both men were dressed
especially warm, and it is believ
ed that this was all that prevent
ed their perishing. An NAT plane
was dispatched the following
morning from Nome, to bring Mr.

Is now progressing very favorably.
He says it was very exciting,
but that when he goes out for ex
