DEATHOFSCARBOROUGH
AS TOLD BY CAPT. LARSON
Charles W. Scarborough, former |
photographer at Cordova, who left
Seward about two years ago with
Capt, Alexander Allen for Northern
ports to take moving pictures of wal- j
rus and wild game, met his death by
freezing last November, while a mem
ber of the schooner Duxbury, Capt.
C. K. Larson, with which party Mr.
Scarborough had gone into the Arc
tic to take pictures. Rumors of his
death reached here a month or so
ago, but were not verified until re
cently when Capt. Larson wrote the
following account from Flaxman Is
land, under the date of February 28.
The Nome Nugget published the re
port thusly:
Flaxman Island, Feb. 28, 1924—
This is the first opportunity of get- j
ting any mail out to notify you of j
the sad mishap of losing one of my;
party, Charles W. Scarborough, the:
photographer. Three of us went up j
Canning River on a hunting trip and j
we were returning with a load of fresh
meat. We had traveled three days
down river which was slow going, on
account of overflows on the ice and
a heavy load. We camped on Nov
ember 26, about forty-five miles from
the mouth of the river. Scarborough
spoke of going straight to Flaxman
Island the next day, which he said
could not be as far as w’e said it wras.
He was warned by myself and part
ner not to try that, not even to leave
the sled as some accident might be
fall him. He had gotten his feet w*et
the day before this in the overflow's.
On the morning November 27th, we
left out tent early in the morning to
get the benefit of the morning moon.
Scarborough left about twenty min
utes before the sled. About three
hours after we left camp a wrind came
up which turned into a blinding bliz
zard w'hich made traveling with the
sled slow’ although the wind was near
ly at our backs. We could not see
where wre were going traveling only
by following the ice. Evidently Scar
borough never stopped. He tried to
make Flaxman Island camp for we
never saw* him again.
We were four days getting to the
mouth of the river with the sled. We'
then w’ent down to the East Fork |
Get Rid of That Backache!
SEWARD PEOPLE ARE FINDING
THE WAY.
The consent achink of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling;
Headaches, dizziness, nervousness,
Distressing urinary disorders—
Are often signs of failing kidneys.
And too serious to be neglected
Get rid of these troubles!
Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulent diur
etic to the kidneys.
Hosts of people recommend Doan’s.
This is a typical case.
Mrs. V. Rowe, Box 683, Juneau, Al
aska, says: “I was in bad shape from
kidney complaint. I had terrible pains
in my back. Mornings I could hard
ly move and it took some time to
straighten my back. I tired easily
and didn’t feel like doing my house
work. I was nervous and couldn’t
sit still at times. I read about Doan’s
Pills and after using three boxes, I
felt like myself again. I have used
Doan’s since then with equally good
results.”

which is better going on account of
the ice to travel on. At the mouth
of the river we met Keesik, a Native *
boy, so we left our sled and went over
to his place that night. Keesik had
been down the coast that day, which
was the first good day we had since
the storm started. He told us of ^
seeing tracks which were those of
a white man who seemed to have
frozen feet because he was taking
very short steps.
Scarborough had missed Keesik’s
cabin on Konganevik Point, although
he found the other cabin about nine
miles below there, where he had gone
inside and tried to start a fire with
some yam which he had tom from
his mitten strings, but he failed to
get the fire started, probably because
his hands were too cold or his match
es wet. From the cabin his tracks
were followed right straight out on
the ice to an open lead where no
traces of him could be found. Mr. Lar
son concludes his letter by stating
that had Mr. Scarborough followed
the beach he would have found a
cabin in either direction in ten miles.
