BUM
(Special Nugget Correspondence)
Blrii Alaska
June It
Again the summer mall i« al
most ready to start, and we are
glad of it as we are so isolated
that we do not get any mail after
the dbg team mail stops sometime
in April or May, unless thru the
courtesy of the Poet Mistress at
Golovin and those traveling this
way.- This spring both have been
•very generbus, and we are thank
ful for the reception of our first
class mail and also for the deli
very of our outgoing mall.
This spring the ice broke from
the shores of Blim earlier than
any spring since we hare been
here. The main ice broke and left
on May 26 and only left a narrow
rim of shore ice that was frosen
to the bottom and that soon left.
The Ice east of the village and up
to Isaac's Point has just left.
We have been expecting the U.
S. Cutter Northland to arrive here
for several days, as we have some
•work for the doctpr. They ar
rived here last year on the 9th of
June.
The seal catch at Elim this
spring was very meager but there
has been a good catch of walrus.
The men here have brot In seven
and that will help out quite a lot I
In the way of meat and oil.
On the morning of June 8, the1
men left for a walrus hunt and
were gone all nigbt. In the morn
in* they sighted six walrus on a®
ice floe and they headed for it.
•As they approached them they de
cided that when they were to
shoot, those in the front of the
boat were to remain seated and
those in the rear were to stand.
Unfortunately one of the fromt
men, Julius Pleasant, the roadhouse
man stood up Just as one off rear
men shot and received the charge
in the back of the head and was
instantly killed. They Wiled four
of the six walrus but they left
them and came home.
Captain Swanson of the motor
schooner '‘Amy1’ arrived in Elim on
the 11th off Juno to begin prepar
ing the “Amy" for her summer’s
mail run from Golovin to Dime
Creek, and will have it ready for
launching in a few days. He was
accompanied by his son Oscar and
a native boy from Koyuk.
There has not been any shore
run of Herring this, year as there
usually is but they /have kept out
In the deep water and as a result
the natives have not had any her
ring to amount to anything.
The repairing and painting of
the government buildings here has
been almost completed, and as far
as material on hand, all is in good
shape for the next year.
There have been some gardens
planted here, but as a rule the
seed has been lacking. We have
divided what we have with those
who want to plant them. The of
fice of India® affairs has Bent seed
to many off the stations, but they
will not arrive in time for the
spring planting. We want to thank

Again we feel the need of some
king of communication, as it is
impossible for us to communicate
with some other piece unless we
walk or go by boat or dogteam.
We need a radio telephone very
•badly.
