ICE DANGEROUS
NEAR MOUTH OF
NENANA RIVER
Late this afternoon, the prompt
action of Jim Halloran, George
Smith and Cap Sullivan averted by
a narrow margin, what might have
resulted in a death by drowning of
Andrew Zaboff, w’ho was making
the crossing of the Tanana river
from camp 415, a little way above
the mouth of the Nenana river. He
was coming along with a sled drawn
by one dog, with a light load of
wood on it.
There appears to be a narrow
channel of open water at which the
dog stopped, but Zaboff, thinking it
was surface water, went on ahead
and broke through.
His shouts for help weer heard i
by the men named above and they]
went promptly to the rescue. A!
board was shoved out to the man
in the water, who was hanging onto i
the ice. He promptly seized the
board and supported himself until1
the rescuers were able to pass a
rope to him, with which he was
finally hauled out. Zaboff was
fully twenty minutes in the water,
and had a very narrow’ escape from
drow’ning.
