GUS LARSON
LOST IN WOODS
A Resident of Petersburg Lost
Near Point Adolphus in Icy
Straits.
|
(Jus Larson was lost in the
woods just a week before Christ
inas near Point Adolphus, across
Icy Straits from Hoonah, and, af
ter seven days’ search, has been
given up for dead.
Larson and his three compan
ions, all of them residents of
Petersburg, came over Icy Straits
to hunt, and after spending a day
at hoonah, where they anchored
their boat, the schooner Wailf,
they went into the woods. This
was on December 18, and it was
the last time either of the three
saw him. Kit her he was over
taken by some accident that dis
abled him, or he lost his way in
the woods, for he did not return
to camp that night.
For a lime the three men
searched for him, and after the
second day following his disap
pearance, they went to Hoonah
land got others to join in the
search. But all efforts to locate
the missing man 'proved fruit
dess, and the day before the Geor
gia left on lh»‘ return trip the
hunt had been abandoned as
hopeless and Larson given up for
lost.
The schooner Waif was still
anchored on the beach at Point
Adolphus when the Georgia sail
ed. The first news of the trag
edy was brought to Juneau last,
night when the Georgia arrived.
