Pete Donohue, Old-timer, of
Nome Passed Away Saturday
Pete Donohoe, aged about 62,
was found dead in his cabin Sat
urday morning. A man by the
name of John Krumm, who was
living with him, discovered him
dead about six o’clock in the
morning, when he called him for
breakfast.
Krum notified Marshal Mozee,
Coroner Tanner and Chief of Po
lice Laws, who went to his cabin
and investigated, finding, appar
ently that Donohoe had died of
natural causes during his sleep.
Pete Donohue, was one of the
few oldtime explorers and whal
ers of the Arctic left in this sec
tion. He was a member of many
Arctic exploration trips in the
early days of Nome and Point
Barrow. Probably his most noted
trip was aboard the full-rigged
ship Belvedere which was frozen
in the ice a considerable distance
off Point Barrow about 1907. The
ship later went down after the
crew and members of the expedi
lion abandoned ship. Nearly 70
men were left stranded, later
making their way to shore over
the Arctic ice pack.
Donohue, a ship’s carpenter by
trade, was employed during the
summer season, by the Lomen
Commercial Co., on its fleet of
tugs and barges. Funeral services
will be held Tuesday morning at
9 o’clock at the Catholic Church.
