Russian Teacher Crosses Ice from East Cape to Little

State Affairs in Villages Along Coast
STAB SELVES AND FAMILIES TO END MISERY
Soviets Took Away Ammunition and guns, fearing up

from Ice, Blows off Both Hands
NOME, June 7—AP—Captain Ira Rank of the mo
torship Trader, who left Nome last week for a trading
j cruise among the islands in Bering Sea, which was a rec
j ord for early trading operations, returned Friday. Rank
reported plenty of ice around St. Lawrence Island and
said he could not make a landing within six miles of shore.
At iKng Island he found open w^ater around the island.
I He reached Dimede Island in Bering Strait, but was un
| able to anchor.
The Alaskan coast line is clear of
ice beyond Cape Prince of Wales, the
Captain said. Concerning conditions
along the Siberian coast during the
winter. Rank said a Russian school
teacher from Whalen crosed the ice
from East Cape, Siberia, to Little Dio
mede Island in search of medicine for
Russian officials who were lying sick
at that place. The teacher told the
people of the island that news had re
cently reached East Cape and Whalen
that about 300 natives had died of
starvation at Indian Point, Siberia,
which lies about 40 miles south of
St. Lawrence Island, the nearest point

of civilization being the mainland.
The Russian said the natives on the
coast must depend upon ammunition
and guns to provide themselves with
the necessities of life, but that these
had been taken away from the natives
by officials who feared an uprising.
As a consequence of .those orders the
Indians were unprepared to go thru
a long cold winter and since starva
tion came upon them they died like
rats. The natives were in a terrible
state and were finally compelled to
kill their dogs and eat them. But this
food soon gave out and the remaining
natives began to eat their dead com
rades, and in some instances their
own flesh and blood.
Many of the natives faced death
calmly, taking to the dagger to end
the misery and torture of themselves
and loved ones. The knives were
| thrust into the hearts of women and
children and afterward driven into the
hearts of men. They died like
braves. Conditions along the Siber
ian coast were pitiable, he said.
The Soviets will no: allow anvone
to trade or bring ammunition or guns
into the country. The traders are
broke and the people need food and
medicine. Charley Carpendale, trad
er at Whalen for 20 years, was fined
$200 recently, which was 50 per cent
of the money he earned while work
ing for the Hudson’s Bay Company. J
Another trader, named Wall, at Cape J
Serge, was fined $200 for a minor of- J
fense and later assessed another $2.- \
000. Wall discovered a large whale \
frozen in the ice and was endeavor- j
ing to blow it up with dynamite when j
the explosive accidentally went off and '
blew both his hands off at the wrist. !
