(Special to The Seward Gateway)
The M. S. “Eunace” upon her {
return from her westward trip'
brought back about 75 . blue and
red fox trappers and a goodly \
supply of fur. The most wester-,
ly Island made this trip wras j
Amchitka. This island was not
on her schedule; but as she was'
passing on her way to Semisopo-!
chnoi Island, her master, Cap- j
tain Nelson, noticed a distress j
signal being given from the
beaches of Amchitka. A dory with
two sailors were sent ashore to I
investigate. They reported having j
found on the island about 50 j
of the Atka natives, of which j
nearly 30 were ill from near star- j
vation. For a month their food j
supply, it is alleged, was exhausted j
and they were living on a meager
diet of sea eggs and such other j
food as they could gather. They
were also out of ammunition
and were unable to shoot any
fowl or other game. and. it is al
leged, were compelled to resort
to eating the carcasses of foxes
to sustain life. The *Eunace” brot
all of them to Atka, and last re
ports indicated that all were re
covering and doing well.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
A strange malady is reported as
having afflicted several of 'the
natives of Atka. The wrife of the
Chief, Makory Zachnery, was sud
denly taken ill. Within twenty-four
hours after she had died, her
brother. Lazare Prosoff, who at
tended her also died apparently
from the same malady. On the
third day, F. Prokopioff, who
made the coffin for the body of
Mrs. Zachnery and helped lay her
out, also was taken ill from the
same malady and died before mid
night. There is no physician west
of Unalaska, and it is not know’n
just what this strange disease
is. At the time of the “Eunace’s”
departure from Atka, there were
no more casualties reported; al
though it is said that the native
population is very much wrought
I up and panicky.
! MM
] On Semisopochnoi Island a near
[tragedy occurred. This island was
i being trapped by John Mercu
j lief and Peter Samaknesky of Un
j alaska. On the 16th of December
I they were taking their dory up
! out of the water, having just re
! turned from gathering wood for
their camp. when Merculief’s
shotgun accidently went off, dis
charging the full load into the
left leg of John Merculief, just
below the thigh. John then crawl
ed on his side to their cabin, a
quarter of a mile away, while
Peter went in advance, built up
a big fire and made plenty of hot
water. When John arrived at the
cabin, he was nearly exhausted;
but strong enough, with Peter’s
help, to get his clothes off and
thoroughly wash out the wound
with a lysol solution and dress
it, saturating the dresing and
wound with iodine. With his pack
knife John trimmed up the wound,
cutting away goodly sizes of torn
flesh and probing for and re
moving a dozen shot. Within 10
days John resumed his trap line,
using an improvised crutch, con
tinuing until the close of the
trapping season, January 31st. Up
on the arrival of the “Eunacc” in
Unalaska March 3rd, John hob
bled to the office of Dr. Wilson,
the Bureau of Education phy
sician. After examining the
wound, Dr. Wilson stated, it is
said, that John had done an
exceptionally fine job of "self
treatment” and that there was
little that he had to do at this
time to him. There are still in
hi body, probably a dozen or more
shot, and these, the physician is
of the opinion will eventually work
their way to the surface, when
they can be more easily removed.
John's season’ catch, nevertheless,
was 141 pelts.

U. S. Deputy Marshall Ross,
with Mrs. Ross, left last week on
the M. S. ‘“Penguin” for Seward,

health, lately has been poor, and ■
Mr. Ros has taken her out to!
have made a thorough diagnosis:
and to receive necessary treat-!
ment and hospital care. The many j
friends here of Mrs. Ross all are |
hoping for her speedy recovery i
and the early return to Unalaska i
of both Mr. and Mrs. Ross.
