REV. MALORY
ENJOYED TRIP
Was First Missionary To Hold Ser
vices In Chisana and Maintain
ed Church’s Precedent.
Rev. E. H. Molony, who accompan
ied Bishop Rowe to Tanana Cross
ing, has returned home after an ab
sence of six weeks, during which time
he mushed several hundred miles.
At the time Bishop Rowe was in
Valdez he was in very poor health
and the Women’s Guild of the Church
of the Epiphany, not wishing him to
make the long trip alone, arranged to
defray the expenses of Rev. Molony
to accompany the bishop as far as
Tanana Crossing, where Bishop Rowe
expected to be met by a guide from
Fairbanks.
Kev. Moiony states tnat during tne
first three days he was somewhat anx
ious about Bishop Rowe, fearing that
he would not be able to stand the
trip. After the first three days he be
gan to figure how he was going to
keep up with the party. Bishop Rowe
appeared to grow stronger and more
vigorous every day of the trip and
was in fine condition when they
reached Tanana Crossing. At Man
tasta Bishow Rowe renewed acquain
tance with old Chief John and, as the
latter Is nearing the close of his
earthly career, the bishop, assisted by
Rev. Moiony, baptized, confirmed and
gave the holy communion to the chief
in the presence of the members of the
tribe.
Leaving Bishop Rowe at Tanana
Crossing, Rev. Moiony, accompanied
by Driver Jenkins, of Gokona, turn
ed southward and reached Chisana
via the Tetlin and Nabesna trail, a
distance of 225 miles, in eight and
one-half days. He states that he
found the miners in Chisana very
hopeful that their camp would make
good and were busy prospecting. Be
ing the first missionary to reach the
camp he was given a rousing recep
tion everywhere. Seventy persons, in.
eluding Marshal Hoffman and Judge
Finnigan, attended the services in
Chisana. He also held service at Bon
anza, where thirty people attended.
At Nebesna Rev. Moiony baptized
two native children, whose parents
proudly boasted that they had been
baptized by Bishop Bompas, atForty
inile, on the Yukon, many years ago.
From Chisana over the glacier to
McCarthy Rev. Moiony was accom
panied by Broncho Bill Spencer.
While crossing over the divide they
were caught in a blizzard and spent
several hours hunting for stakes which
line the trail to keep travelers from
becoming lost. He declares that
while the trip over the glacier Is
somewhat dangerous the view is mag
nificent and is equalled by but few
places in Alaska, the land of scenic
wonders.
