THREE FRIENDS SAVE
SHISMAREF POSTMAN
ON SEWARD ICEPACK
While using a piece of ice as a
kyak to retrieve some seals he had
shot, Verne Eutuk, postmaster at
Shishmaref on the northern shore
of Seward Peninsula, would have
lost his life if it had not been for
his three companions, according tc
a letter recently received by Col
Joseph Alexander, from George R
Goshaw at Shishmaref.
Eutuk and Vincent J. Tocktoo.
Arthur T. Tocktoo and Jakie Min
goona had gone out on the ice
pack by dog sleds to get hair seal
to be used for meat and oil for
their families and dogs. The hunt
was staged on Lincoln's Birthday,
February 12, as Eutuk can only go
hunting on those days when the
postoffice is officially closed.
Several seal were located swim
fing in open water about six miles
offshore and the hunt was on.
Nine seals were killed but the car
casses were too far out from the
rim of solid ice to be reached with
hooks used by the Eskimoes.
The hook used in this process is
a round piece of wood about four
inches thick. 10 inches long and
haped like a potato masher with
hree or four steel hooks put into
he thick end. Attached to the end
if the wood opposite to the end
.vith the hooks is a length of rope.
The rope is coiled and the gear
ised much like a cowboy's lariat
n hooking the seal carcasses.
With the seal beyond even the
each of the hooks carried by the
hunters, a small piece of floating
ice was used by Vincent Tocktoo
is a kyak to bring in his four seals.
I Eutuk was not so lucky with the
raddle and piece of ice.
The ocean current was setting
rffshore and the seal were drifting
further away making Eutuk paddle
I a greater distance for his five seal.
Evidently his efforts were too stren
uous causing him to slip from his
ice boat into the cold water.
Eutuk grabbed his floating hook
and wrapped the rope around his
left arm The end of the 100 rope on
his hook was grabbed by Eutuk’s
friends. But they were unable to
pull him along the surface of the
ice because his clothing froze to the
ice.
The “young" ice broke and Eutuk
came up under it. Three time this
was repeated with him usin i his
elbow to break the ice before he
could be dragged the 50 feet by
the three men.
He was given hot coffee from a
thermos bottle and his friends
gave him part of the clothing they
were wearing. To restore circula
tion and to keep himself warm,
Eutnk ran alongside of his sled on
the 45 minute trip back to Shismar- j
ef.
Mingoona went, back to the scene
of the accident the next morning to
get the five seals he and Eutuk had
killed only to find they h^d floated
away.
All members of the seal hunting
party are members of the First
Scout Battalion, Alaska National
Guard. Eutuk, Vincent Tocktoo and
Mingoona were in the army during
the last war.

brought to the surface may be cut
with a knife, but when dried is
light enough to float on water.
