GIVES DETAILS
OF DEATH OF
RALPHPULVER
One more name has been added to
the list of victims of the Northland’s
glaciers and snowslides. This time
a soldier boy who was making a race
with death. Corporal Ralph Pulver
attempted the perilous journey over
the Portage Bay glacier and was
caught in a huge snowslide one mile
over the summit. He had “gone over
the top,” and it looked as though it
would be but a few hours before the
journey of six miles to the railroad
would be completed in safety.
Pulver, anxious to get home to his
sick wife and baby at Anchorage, ana
Private Joseph Robbins, returning to
his duties with the Alaskan engineer
ing commission at Anchorage, left
Valdez for Portage Bay on the morn
ing of Monday, January 20, with Capt.
Dune Stewart of the launch Sham
rock, intending to mush across from
Portage Bay to Mile 63 on the gov
ernment railroad, and from there
catch the train into Anchorage. Young
Pulver was caught in a snowslide one
mile over the summit at 10:30 on the
morning of the 22d and buried alive,
thus adding one more victim to the
cold Alaska trail.
Corporal Pulver and Private Rob
bins had recently received their dis
charge from the service at Fort Lis
cum and engaged Captain Stewart to
take them to Portage Bay. They left
Valdez the morning of January 20, ar
riving at Portage Bay the same night.
It was blowing a gale, and Captain
Stewart induced the boys to stay on
the boat until the next morning. On
Tuesday it was still storming, so they
waited over on the Shamrock until
Wednesday morning, when at 8.30,
the weather being fine, they started
off on their mush to Mile 63, which is
about ten miles from the bay.
Before leaving on their mush they
told Captain Stewart if they did not
wire him before the 27th to return to
the Portage after them, as they were
afraid if a blizzard should spring up
they might have to return. Not re
ceiving a wire, Captain Stewart left
again for Portage on the afternoon of
Tuesday, the 28th. Captain Hewes,
the post commander, also sent the
post launch Donaldson, with fifteen
men, to comprise a searching party
for the two missing men. Arriving
at the Portage, Captain Stewart went
directly to Spaulding’s sawmill, which
is in Passage Bay, six miles from the
head of Portage Bay, and there found
Robbins. Robbins then related the
story of the accident. He stated that
they were mushing along in fine shape
and when about a mile over the sum
mit they started to take off their
snowshoes. Pulver got his off first
and starting on, was about 200 feet
ahead of Robbins. Just after start
ing, al>out 10:30 a. m., an immense
snowslide, about 200 feet wide, sud
denly broke loose, carrying the two
men down the mountain and burying
them from sight, Robbins, who was
caught In the edge of the slide, soon
uncovered himself and started a
search for his partner. He found one
of Pulver’s snowshocs sticking up
through the snow, and commenced
digging with it. He scraped and dug
away until far into the night without
finding any signs of Pulver. He then
started back to the Spaulding mill,
mushing all night and up until noon
of the 23d, when he reached Spauld
ing's after a very trying time. Pas
sage Bay, by water, is six miles from
the head of Portage Bay, but along
the beach, the route Robbins had to
take, was all of fifteen miles.
Captain Ste >vart brought Private
Robbins back to Fort Liscum, leaving
Portage Bay Thursday and arriving
at Valdez at 1:30 Friday. Robbins
was uninjured and feeling none the
worse after his trying experience.
Robbins said he had left the snow
shoe he found belonging to Pulver
sticking up in the snow, as a marker,
so that he could locate the place
where the slide occurred. Captain
Hewes requested Captain Stewart to
return to the Portage with Robbins
and a party of searchers from the
fort, including ten men,, with Rob
bins as a guide, 1st? Saturdav tc
recover the body of the unfortunate
man. The United States marshal’*
office is supplying the boat.
The launches Donaldson and Sham
rock arrived at Valdes on Monday
from Portage Bay. The party that
went to search for Pulver’s body was
ccmpelled to abandon the search un
til spring. While at Portage Bay
there were a number of snowslides
at a spot where the body was buried
and it was decided that It was too
dangerous a task to continue to
sen-ch for the remains, so the party
returned to Valdez.
The Donaldson arrived at Portage
Bay with the party of fifteen search
ers on the morning of January 30,
with orders from Captain Hewes to
remain four days on the hunt. Three
men were sent over the trail to the
railway, all picked men and used to
rough going. On Tuesday night at
6:50 o clock Marshal Brenneman of
Valdez received a wire from Deputy
Mossman of Anchorage saying:
"Three men whose identity ia un
known, and who are probably from
Shamrock or Donaldson, have just
now arrived at Mile 63 from Portage
Bay. They are terribly exhausted
and unable to give account of selves.
Are being taken to Kern Creek, Mile
71. Saw nothing of Pulver and Rob
bins. Party will be sent from here,
although there is no chance that these
men Burvive.”
At 7:44 another wire followed:
Three soldiers just arrived from
Donaldson at Kern Creek. Did not
see any indication of missing men.
Names of soldiers are McNamee,
Hendrickson and Peterson.”
A wire to Captain Hewes at the
post from these men stated they left
Portage at 11 a. m. and fought a
blinding blizzard until 5 in the after
soon. There was twenty-five feet of
snow in the pass, and the three men
were so exhausted that they were in
a semi-delirious condition. The bliz
zard was so strong the snow had been
blown off the glacier. The men upon
arrival at Mile 63 were unable to
speak. It took thirty minutes to
bring them to.
They returned on the steamship
Alameda from Seward.
Corporal Ralph Pulver was a young
man about 28 years of age, married
and leaves a wife and young child.
He was a resident of Anchorage at
the time of his enlistment, but the
Pulver family are well known through
out Alaska. The father of Ralph and
his brother Earl are at present de
veloping a copper property in Mon
tana. His younger brother, George,
is with the United States forces in
France. A few years ago the father
and boys were connected with the
Sea Coast Mining Company property
at Shoup’s Bay.
