RETURNING TO
ALASKA ON
GAME HUNT
•
Dr. W. H. Chase is in receipt of a
letter from Dr. S. Hall Young, former
pastor of the Cordova Presbyterian
chur'ch, now connected with the
Board of Foreign Missions, with
headquarters in New York, in which
he says that he expects to return to
Alaska next summer and spend a
year in Alaska taking moving pic
tures and piloting the big game hunt
ers through the Kenai and Alaska
peninsulas. Exerpts from his letter
follow:
“I have received many hundreds of
letters duriitg the past year but none
of them excited me as much as yours
with the accompanying picture of you
and your bear skin. That was surely
some bear. It is so tremendous that
my fellow D. D’s., to whom I have
shown it begin at once to study and
conjecture how yon could possibly
fake a picture like that. They can’t
believe it is real. They show the
same skepticism, however to my big
bear stories and the hunting pictures ,
I show on the screen in my lectures, j
“You are sure a lucky man and I 1
am green with envy. You are es- j
pecially lucky to be outside of that ;
skin instead of inside. Have you pub- >
lished the account of that hunt any- \
where? If so, I must have it.
"I am sending you my latest book,
“Adventures in Alaska” with my com
pliments. It has three bear stories
in it which I hope you will enjoy. j
“Now to business. I am getting !
very homesick for Alaska. I am going I
back next summer and hope to spend j
almost a year tramping over my be
loved Territory. I plan to take an
expert photographer, visiting almost
every camp, old and new, in Alaska
taking moving pictures of all the
training schools, hospitals and mis
sions of all denominations ,nnd also
mining scenes, fisheries farms, rail
roads, and, if I can get them, some
good new pictures of walrus, polar
boar, moose, caribou, mountain sheep,
etc. To accomplish this I shall start
on the summer trip about June first,
going through Southeastern Alaska,
rmrrrrrTiv:::.v •__
across the White Pass, down the Yu
kon, up the Tanana, etc., 7to Nome
and there take the Revenue Cutter to
the Arctic ocean in an attempt to get
with a full set of hospital supplies up
lo Point Barrow and out to St. haw
| fence and to the Pribiloffs. *
“But that is not the best of the
trip. Four rich huifters have offered
to pay my expenses if I will introduce
them to moose and mountain sheep
of Kanai Pnninsula and the caribou
and Kodiak bears of the Alaska Pen
insula. Of course, 1 have jumped at
the chance and am moving to ar
range for boat, guides, etc. I have
written to J. L. Waller, Esq., of An
chorage, about it and shall write to a
number of others. 1 plan to get to
Prince William Sound and Anchorage
about September 15 and there pick up
my hunting friends. Now what is
the matter with your going along.
Send me one-half dozen more of the
pictures of you and your big bear skin
that I may send them to these hun- '■
ters and excite their passions to the
limit.
“Soberly, I would greatly enjoy hav
ing you along. Can you make it?
You would be very valuable to the
party from your knowledge of the
country and your prowess as a hun
ter. Can you give me any light
about any boat or gasoline launch big
enough to house such a party and sea
worthy enough to brave the stormy
passages of Cooks Inlet and the Paci
fic. Any information or suggestions
from you will be very highly appre
ciated.
“Please loose no time in answering
this for I certainly mean business. I
shall be only 73 years young next
fall and expect to enjoy the greatest
trip of my life.”
