ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS
DEATH IN ILIAMNA AREA
MAY REMAIN UNSOLVED
The white residents of the Iliam
na district are wondering what
caused the death of Fred Pankow,
trapper and fisherman, whose
headless body was found by Bill
Hammersly and a native in August
on the shore of the Chulitna river,
! which flows into Lake Clark. The
body of the trapper had been long
exposed to the elements when dis
covered and was in such condition
that it was not possible to deter
mine whether death had resulted
from natural causes or was caused
by foul play.
Pankow, who had made his head
quarters on the Kokanok bay side
of Iliamna lake prior to the open
ing of the beaver season last spring,
following which he moved into the
Lake Clark-Chulitna river area of
the same district, arrived at Road
house portage, on Iiiamna lake,
April 6, with eight beaver pelts. He j
explained that he had trapped two
| more beaver but that their pelts,
not being ready to bring in, had
been left hanging in a tree at his
! upper camp on the Chulitna. Af
ter the eight pelts had been sealed
he started back to his camp, in
forming friends that he would re
turn to the portage as soon as the
trip could be made in his canoe.
When Pankow did not return to
the portage after the opening of
navigation some uneasiness was!
felt for his safety and efforts fin
ally were made to induce the Fed
eral authorities to interest them
selves in the case, with a view to
making an investigation, but it was
well along in August before a search
was authorized. Hammersly and
a native started out from the port
age August 17 to hunt for the miss
ing man and they soon located his
lower camp. Conditions there in
dicated v that other camps would
be found beyond and the two men
pushed on up the Chulitna. Some
distance up the river a second camp
was found and finally a third. Ev
erything was in order at this camp,
as at the others. The tent flap
was closed and everything about
the place appeared much as they
probably were when Pankow left;
for the portage with his eight
beaver pelts.
About 100 feet from the tent the
searchers found the headless body
of Pankow. He was lying on his
back with legs doubled under him.
He was close to the river bank and
still retained the line from his
canoe in one hand, the rope passing
over the body from the right hand.
His left arm extended full length
over where his head had been. Two
feet to the right of the body lay
the head.
The canoe was about ,15 feet from
the body, with several coils of the
line still in the bow of the boa£,
clearly indicating that Pankow was

in the act of approaching a small
spruce tree with the line, intend
ing to make the canoe fast to it,
when death overtook him. The
tree was within a few inches of the
dead man’s knee and directly ih
front of the body.
The body was in such condition
when found that it was impossible
to determine what has caused
death. Several vertebrae at the
neck were missing, thus loosening
the head from the body and it is
the belief of Hammersly that a bear
os some other animal prowling
about had rolled the head to one
side after decomposition had de
stroyed the flesh.
The body was taken down the j
river by Hammersly and the native '
to the nearest settlement and bur- I
ied.
The Pankow death is one of a i
number of similar mysteries of the
Iliamna-Lake Clark district and
the whites of that area are wonder
ing how long the authorities will
permit such conditoins to continue,
with no effort to ascertain what
happens to men who come to their
death under mysterious circum
stances, or what becomes of those
who go out into the hills and never |
return. !
