derson, known to Yonert us "The
Kid", experienced hardship, priva
tion and suffering and came near
losing his life recently, according to
William Yunort, a trapper and hunt

way to Hammond river diggings of
the Koyukuk, tho "Farthest North"

of the best, or conditions conspired
to bofuddle his sense of dlrectlou.
but at any rule ho lost his boarlng?

Try as ho might, he was uuabl? to
relocate the trail, und was forced to
wander about for sevoral days. Com

raft struck a rock and dump?d his
whole outfit into the rlvor. He es
caped with his life and managed to
gain the shore, without matches or
provisions of any kind.
He continued to travel downstream
growing more famished und weary
day by day and utterly fugged out
by scruuibling through tho brush
along tho shore of tho river. He raaj
across u porcupine and killed It
with a club. Its moat served to
keep him for a fow days.
Then ho happened to run into a
deserted prospector's or trapper's
.cabin. On the roof of the cabin, he.
found a hunk of moose moat. He
ate the meat and soon bocame
deathly ill. He thought he was go-!
lug to die, but finally managed to]
purge hl.< system of the meat, which
he thought was poisoned.
A week or more aftor he startod

at Purgatory, on the Yukon river
some distauco below Beaver. Yun
ort says that the musher wus nearly .
