ACCOUNT OF DEATH
OF OCTUCK.SFANILY
AT NARY’S IGLOO
(Nome Nuggett, Jan. 22.)
A letter to the Nugget from Mr.
Edwin W. Hunnicut, the government
school teacher at Mary’s Igloo, un
der date of January 8 gives the
full details of the drowning of
the three natives in the vyicinity of
that place, partial reports of which
: were ' published in these columns
1 some days ago. The writer says
that tile family, John Octuk, his
wife and fifteen months old baby,
met their death in an overflow
about ten miles from the Igloo. A
native found the bodies early New
Year’s morning, at which time
they were presumed to have been
in the water about forty-eight
hours. Octuk’s watch had stopped
at the hour of 10:30, presumably
on the morning of December 30,
and the unfortunate trio evidently
perished within about one and a
half hours after leaving the Igloo
on their way to Octuk’g summer
home on Little Salt Lake. The1 par
ty had arrived within about six
miles of their destination when
they broke through the overflow. I
The teacher states that the water!
was probably eight or ten feel j
deep at the time of the accident ,
but, at the time of finding the
bodies, had lessened to about two
or three feet in depth. The mother
evidently drowned while trying to
extricate the sled and wheel dogs,
which was the only portion of the
team which broke through the ice.
The man, being a cripple, was rid
ing on the sled when it bpoke
through and was either jerked off
the sled or got off in an attempt
to aid, as his hody was found
some eight or ten feet behind the
sled. The wife and child were ly
ing just in front of the sled and
there were indications that she
died a heroic death trying to save
her husband who she evidently
thought, was still on the submerg
ed sled. A grewsome feature of the
sad affair was that the dogs
which • remained and had sadly
mutilated the bodies of the woman
and babe, which they were enabled
to reach through the falling of
the water. The woman’s left arm
and leit hand of the babe had been
entirely eaten off by the wolfish
animals in their desperate hunger.
The dead couple are very highly
spoken of by the missionary. Oc
tuk is declared to have been a man
of exemplary character and stood
very high with his people. The
remains were interred on the 7th
inst. after impressive services and
the funeral was attended by prac
tically every one in the village.
