Nome, Alaska
Bombers Are First
Army Planes To
Land St. Lawrence
Two twin-motored B-18-A
Army Air Corns bombers from
Elmendcrf Field, Anchorage, ar
rived in Nome Saturday after-;
no n in eorrmrnd of Major E. S. |
Davis. Aboard ore of the Dianes
.'■•as Colonel Paul Peabody, cx
ccutiv cf the Alaska d fense I
forces. The personnel consisted 1
of: Majors D. W. Titus and E.
M. Altfather; Lieutenants J. G.
S’hneider, F. B. Gallagher. J. C.
Bowen, and R. E. Bothell; a^d
Sergeants Grady, Bennett and
Albrigt.
Sunday th: two bombers made
; round trip flight to Gamble on
3t. Lawrence Island where they |
landed on the frozen lake near1
the village, e-tablishing the first
landing of an Army plane on that ;
Island, which is about 175 mile-j
from Nome in th Bering Sea. ;
The Air Corps men were ex
tended a hearty welcome by the!
entire Eskimo popuation and. by j
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Daughcr v,
the teachers at Gamble. When the'
flyers walked within about ten -
I yards of the group coming from
.he village to the lake to greet
them, the Air Corps men com
menced taking out about t n cam i
! eras with the hope that they j
might be permitted to take pic- j
Mures of the natives, when to the I
vast amazement, of the visitors, j
th. Eskimos stopped in their
tracks and raised about twenty-1
odd cameras ranging from the,
16 mm movie type to some cf the
best known box variety.
Greatly appreciat ’d by the |
Army Air Carps men was the
reception and fin ba quet which :
was tendered them in the vil-!
Inge. They were served with
Christmas fruit cake which is re-j
served only for the most sp ial
occasions. It is the impression of
the officers that Gambel is the J
most model settlement they have
seen and may be rat'd with the
Indian village of Metlakatla.
Aboard one cf the bombers on!
the flight to St. Lawrence was1
Kurt Sprenger, Officer in Charge !
of the U. S. Coast Guard Station '
in Nome, who made an obs rva
tion of ice conditions. He reports,
that there is no ice within sixty
five miles of Nome and that there
is none visible on the Siberian
s;de. It is his b iicf that indica-;
lions portend a normal breakup
and that ships will not experience
much difficulty with ice cor.di- j
lions this year.
The purpose of the flight was
to carry mail as th: contract had
expired and also to provide medi- j
cal attention.
A. T. McLAIN IS BURIED
i
The graveside burial of A. T. j
McLain took place Saturday af
t rnoon at Belmont Point Ceme-,
| tery. |
He was born in Missouri, Feb.
8, 1876, and died in Nome, Dec.;
24. 1910. His childhood and youth
i were spent on stock and sheep j
ranches in Kansas and Montana, i
where he, early, was imbued with j
I the fr edom of the range and
frontier. Three years were spent j
at the Shattuck Military Acad-1
Liny at Fairbeaux, Minn, but j
t when tales of gold strikes in the |
Fort Steel: county in Canada |
' came south ,he left his academic j
training behind him. From then j
on he followed every major ‘
strike in Alaska and Yukon terri!
tory by boat, dog-team and a
foot. His later yars were spent in
dredging in the American River
country and lastly beach-mining
on the shores of Nome. He was
one of the last of the Pioneer
prospectors who sought the clus
; ive gold in the spirit of adven
ture, feeling there was as much |
• thrill in seeking it as in finding
j it.
j He leaves two older sisters and
a brother, a wife and four child
ren to mourn his loss.
