STORY OF THE FINDING OF
THE BODY OF EMMA DALQUIST
The following is the complete story
of how Mrs. Emma Dalquist met her
fate amid the whirling snows :md
blighting winds of the great -bain
Sunday night, as related to tin Nugget
by the veteran in usher, jfteotty Allan
The sad Jale is but one of many sla b
I which have been written in the bistory
of the frozen North, but it is ..f e»
peiinlly sad interest in that tDr* un
fortunate victim of tbe stm-ni king's
fury was personally known to the inn
jority if the people of Seward Penin
sula. As has hoen already related, the
frozen body of Mrs. Dalquist was found
by Mr. Allan, partly hidden In a snow
drift, some few hundred yards north of
the winter trail below Cape Nome,
about two p. nt yesterday. From all
Indications tho unfortunate woman had
fought desperately for her life, drag
ging her frozen body over many rods
of ice and snow in the endeavor to
roach shelter, before finally yielding - >
tile frozen death whirling through ib<
snow-filled air.
What the brave little woman endured
while she crept through the blinding
drift on frozen hands and knees will
;never he known, but that she battled
like a hero until the last moment is
clearly shown by tbe position of the
body when found.
Emma Dalquist, infinitesimal bit of
womanhood as she was, fought to the
last and all who followed her solitary
trail among the snow drifts are amazed
nt the remarkable strength and vitality
displayed in fighting her way to the
point where she was found.
What led her forth from the shelter
and security of the Safety roadhouse
Sunday evening to the place where she
met her death will probably remain a
mystery, suffice to sat slu left the
roadhouse about five minutes past live
o’clock and but a few moments before
the arrival of Mr. Allan who was in
tending lo stop oyer night Mr Allan
saw her but did not recognize her
owing to tho parka concealing her face.
On entering the roadhouse Scotty asked
for Mrs. Dalquist lmt was told by Mr.
Dalquist that she had lust stepped out
and after looking out of tho window,
which overlooks the (rail, added that
she had probably gone for a walk ns
he could sec her walking toward Cape
Nome. It was blowing at the time, but
as Mrs. Dalquist was a thorough Al
askan no fears were felt for her safety.
Joe Sheldon, who arrived a few min
utes after Allan stated that ho had
met and spoken to ligr but thought
nothing of her being out us she was
not more titan a few hundred yards
from the roadhouse Shortly after tie
arrival of Sheldon, Dalquist again
j looked out of Hit' window and could
j discern her walking along the trail
| toward the west Allan remarked that
jtf was unwise to venture so far on .1
I cold windy night but the husband re
marked that she could not bo going
further than the native village, as she
had nothing on her feet but low native
slippers and so would not go far. Mr.
Allan states that he felt worried,
nevertheless, and some time later again
remarked that he thought that Mrs.
Dalquist was not safe. Apparently
Dalquist was of the same opinion by:
this time and instructed his helper,
Miller, a half breed, to tnko a dog team
and go to the native village and learn
if Mrs. Dalquist had arrived It was
some time before Miller returned and
'brought the information that Mrs. Dal
quisl had not stopped at the village
hut had gone onward. This news did j
not cause undue alarm as Miller stated!
that one of the natives. Panes by name,
had started for Nome n short time after
the woman passed and would probably
pick her tip and carry her to Cape
N'ome roadhouse. Panes did overtake
Mrs. Dalquist offering to take her to
the Cape hut she refused his proffered
assistance stating that she preferred to
walk. Panes continued on his way,
but as the storm was gradually in
creasing, at length decide*! to turn
back. Returning to the village he
again met Mrs. Dalquist and endeavor-j
ed to persuade her to return but she
again insisted that she wanted to walk
and was going; to the Cape This was
the last time Mrs Dalquist was seen
aliV' and Iter further journey is told
only by the significant marks left upon
the trackless snows between that point
and Capo Nome
When some three hours had passed
Allan and Dalquist decided to call
Cape Nome on the telephone but oil
learning that the woman was not there
they Immediately started out in search.
On arriving at the native village with
their dog team they learned that an
other team apparently hound foV Nome
had passed some time before and tills
again served to calm their fears, it be
ing felt that this team had also over
taken Mrs. Dalquist and as it was by
that time storming bad it was felt that
she would avail herself of the oppor
tunity to reach the Capo Nome road
house. Arriving at the roadhouse Mr
Allan was informed that no team had
passed and the search was taken tip In
earnest.
Proceeding lan k toward Safety Allan
and Dalquist searched in the darkness
anil drifting snow from about nine p
m. to about three in the morning, hut
could tind no sign of the missing wo
man. Mr. Allan slates that they be
lieved that she would go w it It the wind
which was from the North and which
would lead her out to the open sea At
length being unable to find any sign
the men returned to Safet.w The storm
continued to blow and it was bitterly
cold, twenty below zero, hut the men
again returned to the search. All

SUBMARINES CLAIM THREE MORE
VESSELS IN ENGLISH WATERS
I ..
EON DON, March 10 —Within the
past few hours the German submarine
vessels hilling in English waters have
claimed three more \ ictims from
among the British commercial tteet.
Closely following the nows of the
sinking of the collier Bengrave off the
Devon coast yesterday, England has
been startled by the torpedoing, in
rapid succession, and at widely remote
points, of the merchant steamers Stan
gistoii, which was torpedoed off Scar
borough: the Blackwood, sunk in the
English Channel off Hastings, along
the southeastern const and, the Prin
cess Victoria, which was sent to the
ibottom off the port of Liverpool. The
latter vessel is a passenger carrier.
The crews of the freighters are re
ported to have escaped in safety while
tlio passengers and crew of the latter
|vessel were landed at Liverpool.
In addition to the attack on the ves
sols named, a submarine chased a
Scotch coasting vessel In command of
Capt. McLain McCrae for several miles
through the Irish sea, desperately try
ing to get within torpedo range of tin
ship hut was unable to overtake the
speedy coaster.
The sudden renewal of the submar
ine raids has considerably dampened
the optomistlc spirit which has pre
I vailed the British isles during the past
| week It is now generally believed that
the lull was occasioned by the with ■
drawal of the submarines except fur
a few isolated vessels, to replentlsh
supplies.
