Bay to the native village is a dis- j
:ance of 14 miles, course N. E. At '
the inside of the entrance the
bay widens to nine miles, a horse
shoe bay, shallow and muddy and
can be only entered by the lar
ger vessels as far as Beluga Head
the channel swings N. 1-2 E. to
the native village and mouth of \
Goodnews River. We tried to en- j
ter on low tide and got stuck |
in the mud, then went to bed and j
waited for the morning tide.
When we woke the Sybil listed
to port, and leaked badly. At 10
a. m. we floated and arrived at
the village at 12., June 30, 11
days out from Nushgak.
“BY YES US!”
Goodnews Bay was named after
some whaler captain who win
tered there years ago. In the
spring he received news from the
Outside to the effect that he was
the father of a nine-pound boy,
and after he had read the letter
his exclamation of “By Yesus!’’
Goodnews Bay, was undoubtedly
justified. After anxiously expect
ing the news for 10 years, his
long-deferred hopes were realized
at last. Inconsequential utter
ances often go down in history.
TWO TRADING POSTS
There are two trading posts at
Goodnews Bay, that of Joe Jean’s
and Gil McIntyre’s; also about
175 Eskimos. Lots of tents and
igloos are situated on Mumtrak
Hill and only a few of the natives
live in cabins. Jean’s home was
just built last winter and com
pares favorably with homes on
the Outside. There were many
fish racks wuth salmon drying,
but owing to the inclement wea
ther they were having difficulty
in drying them.
PLATINUM DIGGINGS
For some years I have wanted
to obtain sme reliable data on
the platinum -diggings at Good
news Bay, so I thought this an
excellent opportunity of obtain
ing the information first hand,
interviewing mipers, prospectors
and traders and checking and re- 1
checking results. <
