Had Dangerous
Trip Deering to
Shishmaref Foot
_ i
(Continued From Page One) j
He continued walking in what:
he supposed to be the direction of j
Taylor Creek, but later found1
that he had come out near Cape|
Espenberg. For six days he had
no food, on his trek across coun-j
try. and dared not stop because!
of the fear of becoming too weak j
to walk out of the desolate coun
try in which he was isolated.
From Cape Espenberg. located
on the Arctic coast of the Pen-]
insula, he continued along the;
shoreline south toward Shismaretf. j
When he attempted to cross the j
Lane River on an improvised
raft, the current and wind car
ried him out to sea, and he was
forced to abandon the raft, and
start swimming for the beach
line, which was barely visible.
He entered the water at 10 J
o'clock in the morning and did j
not climb out on the beaoh until!
8 o'clock that night.
Comer said that following his
ten hour battle to get ashore, he
lay on the beach for nearly an
hour trying lo regain his strength.
Shortly afterward he walked into
an Eskimo camp, minus footgear,
which he was unable to wear due,
to the swelling of his feet. He re-!
mained there long enough to eat]
and rest up. and then rode the I
few miles to Shismaref in a
I
whaleboat, in which some Eski-;
mos were going down the coast,
arriving at that point July 16th—
lldays after leaving Deering.
He expected the mail boat j
Meteor to stop at Shismaref. and ;
he would then be able to proceed
into Nome, but the boat did not i
stop, said Comer. He then wired
for a plane to pick him up. Pilot
Ray Crawford of the Mirow Air
Service flew over to Shismaref
yesterday on a flight from Tin
City and brought him into Nome
last evening.
Contrary to reports, Gene Com
er says that although the mos
quitos looked large enough to!
eat, he at no time attempted to 1
shoot them with a rifle, and that j
whoever started such a rumor, I
was mistaken.
The trip across country from
thse northern slope of Seward
Peninsula has proven more than
i difficult to travelers before, and
several persons have died attempt
ing to walk across—'becoming
lost and then not being abLe to
eat or get out of the isolated ter
i ritory. Comer's experiences, while
: fortunate in one respect, should
; teach many that such a trip by
: foot is an extremely hard un
dertaking, and particularly to
Oheechiacos, should not be at
tempted, when they do not know
the country.
