ABANDONS TRIP
ACROSS THE PASS
Rev. H. C. Munro, of the Commun
ity Christian church, returned from
westward on the Admiral Watson,
having decided not to attempt the
trip alone over Broad Pass.
Rev. Munro witnessed the drown
ing of one man and was near when
another was drowned the same day
on the upper Chulltna.
Fred Mills, the first man to lose
his life, was one of seven coming out
from Nenana who attempted to cross
the Chulitna on a pole. Their feet |
were swept from under ihem and j
all but Mills succeeded in reaching
the bank.
Nels Sanderson, working with
Huff's survey party for the govern
ment railroad, was drowned during
the construction of a temporary
bridge. The men were not able to get
the key log clear across and Sander
son endeavored to get across and help
pull it over. He lost his footing and
became terrified, and hung on in the
water, out of reach of the men ashore
until he became so weakened that he
let go and was drowned.
Hearing that another river on the
Nenana side was worse than the Chu
litna, Rev. Munro decided to turn
back. Attorney Murphy, of Anchor
age, who went in ahead of Rev. Mun
ro, made his way across the Pass but
lost his pack in the streams and was
forced to live on blue berries for six
days until a prospector with a horse
came along and helped him across on
his way to Nenana.—Gateway .
