; WOMAN RESCUED
FROM ICE FLOE
IN BEHRING SEA
After they were picked up from
a sixteen-foot launch in an icd floe
in ^e Bering sea by the United
States cutter Bear and towed to
Nome, Mrs. Jessie Tashner of Clin
*
ton, O., who has been serving as
nurse and teacher in the north
| during the past three years, and R.
| Dooley of Petaluma, a government
teacher on the St. Lawrence islands,
submitted his annual reports of ed
[ ucational activities among the Arctic
natives to William T. Loop, Alaska
educational chief.
Mrs. Tashner and Mr. Dooley were
taken to Seattle on board the steamer
j Victoria.
'Jfcte story told in the Seattle Post
I Intelligencer is as follows:
In a sixteen foot launch and accom
panied by four natives, the two
teachers left Gambell, a small native
village on St. Lawrence island June
21, intending to make the perilous
voyage to Nome, a distance of nearly
200 miles across Bering strait. The
small^raft carried only a temporary
engine, but the teachers set out un
daunted. When a short distance out
Mr. Dooley was compelled to make
adjustments at intervals of every
hour. After being two days and two
\ nights caught in drift ice Mr. Dooley
[ observed the cutter Bear in the dis
tance. The small American flag on
the mast head of the launch was im
; iHediately moved up and down as a
i
\ signal.
BEAR DIPS FLAG
• “The Bear likewise dipped her flag,
but seemed to be moving away from
us,” explained Mr. Dooley. “Not hav
ing any maritime experience we did
not know what signal to use. Finally
we used a snowshirt worn by one of
| the natives and v?e waved the shirt
and the flag together. When this
was done, the cutter Bear hurried to
our assistance and towed us to Nome
in our little craft.”
St. Lawrence island is 100 miles
lon^ and from thirty to sixty miles
wide. It is located about forty miles
from the coast of Siberia in Bering
j Sea. Last autumn Mr. Dooley and
Mrs. Tashner took passage on the
cutter Bear for the village of Gam
bell, on the coast side of the island.
Stores, however, prevented the Bear
from landing at Gambell, so the
teachers with thirty-five tons of coal,
school supplies and native store sup
plies valued at $7,500 were all landed
at Southwest cape, a village of twen
; ty-two men, women and children on
the western side of the island.
A preciptous mountain separated
; Southwest cape and Gambell, so Mr.
I Dooley, unable to take Mrs. Tashner
; or the supplies, mushed sixty miles
[ over the mountain to Gambell, where
he spent the winter with 115 natives,
r teaching school and answering sick
calls.
I EARS FROZEN
j Because^the coal and fuel were on
j the opposite side of the rocky island
Dooley suffered through an in
tensely cold winter without sufficient
wormth. At one time his ears froze
and he suffered other physical hard
ships. The coal and supplies were re
: moved to Gambell the following
spring.
Mrs. Tashner spent nine months at
Southwest cape until a launch picked
her up for the voyage to Nome.
Southwest cape is a stormy, rocky
village bordering on the Bering Sea,
but Mrs. Tashner gathered a class of
seven native children and even held
night schools for the parents. Mrs.
Tashner went North three years ago,
i being stationed for a year near Nome
| for the Methodist mission, and later
went to Wales, near Cape Prince of
Wales, as a government nurse. She
se* d during the influenza epidemic
and was the only white nurse in the
sec;iiCn. Last fall she went to St.
Lawrence island.
While in Gambell, Mr. Dooley was
visited by a Russian trader who had
been isolated in Indian Point on the
Siberian coast opposite St. Lawrence
island for three years. He crossed
from Siberia to America waters in
a whaling boat. His trip was made
for the purpose of asking Mr. Dooley
| whether or not the bolsheviki armies
were fighting in Siberia. After get
1 ting the information, the trader re
! turned to his Siberian camp.
Mrs. Tashner and Mr. Dooley will
remain in Seattle for several days
the former intending to visit' her
home in Clinton, O., and the latter
jj visiting relatives in Petaluma, Calif.
| “I expect to return to the North,”
said Mrs. Tashner.

SUTHERLAND COMES
BACK AT PARTY WHO
DROVE HIM OUT HYDER
Three arrests have been made in
connection with the disorders in Hy
der recently when Jack Sutherland
was subjected to a coat of tar and
feathers upon the accusation of sev
eral persons that he had been guilty
of a breach of trust by dissipating
funds in his possession.
The accused men have been re
leased under bonds of $1,500 each
will be brought to trial soon.
Feeling in Hyder, it is said by per
sons from that town, is running high
against the persons who perpetrated
the outrage. Friends of Sutherland
assert that he is not guilty of the
charges made and that they easily
can prove his innocence.
On the night of the trouble Suth
erland was taken to the boundary line
and warned not to return. His
friends on this side, when they heard
of the affair, immediately took steps
to see that he was brought back, and
he now is in Hyder preparing to
prosecute those who were responsible
for the affair.
