F. B. Noel- a recent arrival in An
chorage from the lliamna country*
brought further authentic news rela
tive to the fatalities caused by the
influenza epidemic among the natives
in that section.
In company with thr^e associates*
Mr. Neel mad“ the trip by water- and
land from Xaknek to Snug Harbor.
The party was on a prospecting trip
and during their two months travel
ran across several native villages that
had suffered severely from the rav
ages of the flu. Mr. Xeor states tna*
at one camp* located about fort."
miles from the-head of the Iliamn*.
river th /' found three dead natives*
two men and a boy* whom they bul
lied. The deaths had probably occur
red one week previous as there were
24 dogs alive tied to trees near the
camp that were alive but in a very
weak condition.
Five miles farther they found an
other fishing camp with a woman an»i
two children barely alive and fiv>
dead natives. The native woman
would not allow the Neel party to
bury the dead on account of some su
perstition which the men respected.
However* they left a supply of tea,
flour and milk and what provision*
they could spare witff the survivors.
In the same locality they ran across
a fishing camp of about MOO natives
who had not had the epidemic aim
were in good shape physically. •
In regard to the situation at Nak
*nek Mr. Neel said the situation was
appalling and he told of several piti
ful cases. The natives* he said* re
