IA3T MINUTE NENS ABOUT AMOS FIEURY WHO WAS FROZEN TO THE ICE OF KLUTI1U
Lake on Christmas day. Gillum returned to Chitina. in the Stearman in
mid afternoon yesterday with his frozen cargo of Frenchy who was in a
very serious condition*Gi11am didnot have to have a dog-team sent after
him.,for it was not yet 4 o’clock when he brot Frenchy back, but they had
a tuff time of it. In spite of-not having the. bad luck he feared of be*
frozen into the slush ice with the Stearman himself. But Gillum landed
on the Lake and as he landed he saw the Indian with the dogsled out 6n
ftjhe Lake drive over to the cabin in the wood at the edge of the Lake, &
supposed he would bring Frenchy out to the plane,But after a while the
Indian came down to the plant on the Lake,about a mile & a £ on foot, w
without Frenchy,& told Gillam he could not Lift Frenchy to put him onto
the sled,so Gillam hud to walk over to the cabin in his flying-togs to
help Frenchy to the plane.Lucky he has the furlincd mukluks that the Na
tive Susie Ed Charley knows how'to mend so nicely,instead of shoes, else
his feet might have been frozen,too. By this time,the time they got. bask
to the plane with Frenchy, it had been an hour 5c a & the engine'was co
cold. Gillum put the fire-pot under it & heated tt for 30 minutes,& then
found, that the buttery would not turn the engine over. He started in t"
turn it over by hand. This is easy with the little Swallow, but a tuff j
job with the Big Stearman.Gillum says he was just about all-in when, he
finally got the’engine going. He tcok'off at lust & got back to Chitina
about 4 o’clock. It was a closes shave,for if the Stearman had not gotten
off,it would have been a long time before Frenchy could have been gotten
anywhere,
Then Gillum got here at 4 o’clock,it was too dark to go on then
to Cordova.- The wea-ther was also foreboding toward the coast & Gillum
didnot dare to take any chances with Mr.Fleury.So he took him immediate
ly up .to Nurse Emma Lambert at our new hospital,where Amos will be made
as comfortable as possible & have the best of care & comfort that Chiti
na, affords. As soon as the weather is oromising,Frenchy will be immedia
tely shipped to Cordova where there is a doctor &.more comforts & cares.
It was conformed by his arrival here,that he was very seriously frozen,
as both feet were still frozen solid when he got to Chitina.lt was lucky
that Pilot Gillum & the ever-ready airplane could get into the Klutina
to remove the suffering Frenchy.
A PITIFUL ACCIDENT EARLY CHRIS TEAS TTEI3C
Little FAITMY JOE on. of Mrs .Delchant T s pupils up at the Native School &
one'of the daughters of the former Chief,Comfort Joe who died some years
ago, was returning home the other day. She was lighting her way by only
a candle.She saw somebody coming that she didnot want them to see her for
some reason. So being, very young Sc unthinkingly, she hid the lighted can
lc under her coat. By the time the person was past,poor Fanny was head
ing for home more like a lighted arrow, or comet,than like a little girl
with her coat & dress on firej Some friends ran out & recued her Sc put
her out.They tenderly carried her to the new hospital Sc put her under *. ?
ery care .There she will receive the best of everything,with Miss Lambert
as nurse Sc her own Mother as Ass’t. If she only had not'been in such
panic & had been told more of what to do in emergencies,she might have^
rolled over in the snow &put herself out,quicker, & the poor little gill
might not have been so seriously burned from her waist up to her head, &
over her back. XU extend our sympathy & hope a speedy recovery for Fanny.

and Jim McKinley's little girl,came along & found him.They knew he must
be in trouble, 8c were looking for him,as his dogs had come funning into
camp,& that is why they went out in the middle of the night,to find him.

Lake, to another Indian,for help. And as n relay,Jim McKinley started
