more weight. The farm is on the
mainland, consequently the animals
are fenced in by wire meshing, and

Mr. Goshaw when learning that

to sea from Kotzebue, immedaitely
i sent dog teams with natives along
: the coast with instructions for
■ other natives to build signal fires

j ing that the men aboard the vessel
| had landed on the beach, he dis
j patched natives with dog teams to
Deering in order to assist them in
’ returning.
I Mr. Teisberg also reports that
193 reindeer belonging to the Sliis
maref native herd were drowned
the latted part of October in an
attempt to cross the young ice
which had forming on the Arctic
river, due to the fact that there
were so many of them trying to
cross at one time that their weight
was too much for the ice which
• gave way with them. Many of the
deer following were able to reach
safety by walking over the carcass
: es of the deer that had broken thru.
The natives along the coast re
port plenty of seal being caught in
the sea and appear to have plenty
of other kow kow, and as a result
are happy and healthy.
At Teller the residents of this
