IMS ADS FOR SURE RESULTS
NATIVES FIND
MISSING MEN
ON ISLAND
Mr. C. B. Leatherman, Indian agent
at Tatitlek, was in Valdez last week
and gave a Miner representative
further details of the finding of two
men recently on Glacier island, a
lonely spot in Prince William Sound,
one dead from starvation and the
other nearly so. It appears that the
men were Austrians, two brothers, by
the name of Andrew and Louie
Livisky.
The natives were fishing in a bi
darky near the island and had occa
sion to go ashore and up to a cabin
in a small bay there. They entered
the cabin and found one man lying
on the floor dead an<L another sitting
in a chair, nearly dead from starva
tion, so emaciated and weak that the
natives had great difficulty in resus
citating him.
Dividing their scanty store of pro
visions with the survivor and making
him as comfortable as possible, the
natives started on their long paddle
across*the stormy waters of the Sound
for assistance. Arriving at Tatitlek
they notified Mr. Leatherman, who
quickly placed some supplies in a
launch and started back for the
island.'' Upon arriving there they
cooked some provisions for tlie sur
vivor, and returned next day to Ta
titlek with the patient and the body
of his brother.
Mr. Leatherman states that the liv
ing man was a pitiable sight, with
hair and beard unkempt and several
mouths growth, and that the squalor
and filth about the cabin were such
as to sicken the rescuing party. The
men had no food in the houso save
a small pot of mussels on the stove,
and had been on the island for sev
eral months, having no food during
that time but the small shellfish
found dining to the rocks, which
cculd only be gathered at low tide.
A can of paint had been opened and
the survivor informed Mr. Leather
man they had tried to eat it but
were unable to do so.
It appears the two men were of the
belief that a man could subsist on
roots and herbs, and the survivor
stated that his brother had gone as
long as thirty days without eating.
They had boated to the island early
in the winter and had taken little
food with them in the belief that
after fasting a short time they would
need no food, other than that furn
ished by nature, which laid down on
tho job after the first snowfall, leav
ing the two men in a precarious con
dition. The ravens had left the dis
trict and the Elijah act also failed.
The men had fishing lines and al
though the waters teemed with fish,
they starved to death in the midst
of plenty. Their boat which was an
old worthless tub was wrecked early
In the winter and the two men had -
a splendid opportunity to Study the
effect of mind over matter, only they
made the mistake of forgetting they
lacked the mind.
Affn T on tViAr*mo n aal/oH tho
survivor what disposition should be
rar.de of his brother’s body he said:
“I don’t care; throw it in the bay or
do whatever you want to with him.”
The remains were taken to Ellamar
and interred.
The two men originally lived in
New Jersey, and beat their way to
the coast, thence coming to Alaska.
They were alien enemies and proba
bly hid away fearing internment. ,
The two men had a gun and plenty
cf ammunition but apparently were
too unbalanced to help themselves in
any way.
Glacier island is a lonely spot, at
the entrance to the bay named after
the big glacier, and is a desolate,
storm-swept spot in winter, seldom
visited by boatmen unless storm
bound.
Valdes has elected the following
teachers for the ensuing year: Prin- <
