STARVED TO DEATH
IN REACH OF PLENTY
Inputy Marshal Jack MacCormack « f
Nulato arrived in Huby last Tuesday on
his way to Fairbanks. He had latel.s
returned from u trip up the Koyukuk,
made for the purpose ol' burying tin
body of Jack Hu hey, who starved to
death in an isolated cabin during tie*
winter. 'i he body was buried about six
miles from where it was found. Humber
for the coffin was sledded from Nulato.
It is the intention of Hob Hang of Koy
ukuk to make a trip up on tiie last snow
to look tor tiie body of Tom Wilson,
Hahey's partner, who left the latter in
the cabin to go for assistance, but never
returned.
Robert Hilliary of Ruby had main
tained a long-stanuing friendship with
Wilson, and lias interested himself in
the ease. He lias availed himself of
every opportunity possible for learning
ail tiie particulars, and has furnished
the following facts regarding the awful
expediences that resulted in the death
of the 'two men:
WJjwon and Hahey left Hughes, late
'rti the fall, in a small boat, bound for
Nulato. They froze in at the mouth of
llog river and reached Kolsac's cabin,
twelve miles above Forty inlie cut-off, No
vember 3, without grub. They got a
little grun from Kolcas, a native, aim
declined to wait and go down with
Kolcas later, as they were in a hurr>
to reach Nulato, in order to get a wood
contract from the wireless station. Kol
sac left about a week later, but when
he reached the cut -off he saw where
their sled track went on over the cut
off.
Around by the way of the river it is
luti miles to where Hahey’s body was
found, Hi teen miles above the lower end
ol lie cut-off. Fifteen miles lower down
was Fcter Kokrlne’s cabin, stocked with
grub, and six miles from where Haho\ 1
died there was a trap line which was
run at intervals, but flic hard-pressed
n.en Were ignorant of those sources of
relief. They had hauled about* 350 pounds
between them with one dog. It is prob
able that they played themselves oul
I with this heavy load, nr they might
have reached safety.
Two letters were found in the cabin.
The first .one written was signed by
both Uahey and Wilson. It stated they
were out of grub and starving; that
there wen no birds and rabbits were
scarce, and that they had eaten their
dog. The letter also contained an order
for grub on Evans tit Koyukuk station.
It was after writing this letter that
Wilson started back tip the river for
help.
Wilson was a member of the Frater
nal order of Eagles at Wilkinson.
