SHISHMAREF NEWS
By WALTER NAYOKPUK
July 5
The skinboat of Andrew Tock
j too, with his son Jesse as skip
j per and four men got into trouble
I while hunting up the coast about
I 20 miles east of the village. The
| other men besides Jesse, were:
Peter Tocktoo, Verne Eutuk, John
1 Kiyutelluk and Lawrence Nayok
I puk.
! They became storm bound due
I to a north wind and rough water
I but after a day on the beach they
decided to give it a try, although
the wind was still blowing strong
and the surf very heavy. They
only were able to go about 5 or 6
hundred yards when a huge wave
capsized the boat. They all made
it to shore except Lawrence Nay
okpuk who was trapped under the
boat for about half an hour. But
I he managed to get out when the
boat was washed into shallow
water. All were wearing rubber
I boots which made swimming very
| difficult.
The shipwrecked survivors
were very fortunate, however, as
one of the first items to wash
ashore was a jar of matches—so
they were able to start a fire.
The jar of matches had been
put in the Lawrence grub-box by
a 10-year-old 4H girl on a pre
vious trip.
They were picked up a short
time later by Harry Kokeok’s boat
and crew who were camping fur
ther up the coast.
Jesse and his crew said that
their lives would have been en
dangered if it hadn’t been for the
dry jar of matches. All the men
lost all their belongings. The only
things salvaged were the boat
and outboard motor.
