GEORGE k MG GEE
flIESOF EXPOSURE
Bart Daly arrived down from
the Unik River country last
night with the bad news that
his trapping partner, George A
McGee had died of exposure up
Hip river. The two men left
Ketchikan Oct. 10, for a pros
pecting and trapping trip, in
tending to be gone all winter.
They hunted at the mouth of
think for ten ays with the crew
of the launch Corsair, and then
struck inland, leaving part of
their outfit at the International
Boundary and proceeding some
twenty-five miles further to the
trapping grounds. The unus
ual life and food did not agree
with McGee, and he began to
give out, so the two decided to
return to the boundary where
there was a good camp and give
him a chance to get a good
rest and then come on out.
The way out was terrible, the 1
snow being fully twenty feet
deep, and so soft and light, that
a man on snow shops sank
ciear down to his shoulers.
For A t days the two men
struggled through the snow, <
eating sparingly of their grtih
to try to stretch it out until
they could reach camp, but it
gave out at last when they
were about eight miles from
the cache, and then for twelve
more days they lived on porcu
pine flesh, straight, when that
loo failed them, and for 30
hours they were without any
thing. It proved too much for
McGee and he succumbed,
January 31st, when within two
and a half miles of the bound
ary. His partner Daly tied the
body in a sleeping bag, rolled il
in a tarpaulin, and digging a
hole in the snow buried it be
neath a leaning cedar, and then
came on to town for help to
bring it out, which will lie
done as soon as a parly ran be
gotten together.
George A. McGee was the
brother of Mrs. Mike Wadding
at Loring, and was well known
here, having been in charge of
Ihe Loring launch Teal the
grealer part of the last, season,
and before that as deck hand
on hoard Ihe Pike.
