Two Kotzebue Seal
Hunters Endure 12 Days
Adrift on Arctic Ocean Ice
KOTZEBUE Oft — Two Eskimo
hunters have reached safety after
a dozen days adrift on the Arctic
Ocean ice between here and Si
beria.
Bill Barr and James Kilgrook
of Kotzebue walked into the vil
lage of Kivalina on the coast
northwest of here Friday night,
unharmed but thin from hunger.
The last two days of their or
deal were spent hopping across
what is known as pan ice —
frozen cakes no larger than table
tops. One man — it was not
learned which — fell into the
frigid water when an ice cake
broke up beneath him.
The men said they left their
camp ashore to hunt on the floes.
When they were missed, a search
ing party found the camp and
their trail, which led to open
water. There was a calendar with
the days marked off through Jan.
7.
Barr and Kilgrook said they
were trapped when the ice broke
up and a strong wind carried
them to sea. For eight days they
were out of sight of land. A small
store of seal meat helped allay
their hunger.
The pair reached shore about
18 miles from Kivalina and
trudged to the village through the
Arctic dark.
