. ARCTIC TRAVELER
STUNNED B? S HIT
NORTHERN LIGHTS
The following relates a little
story as told the Gateway by
Jean S. LeRouge, Alaska born,
who is now Outside enjoying a
well-earned vacation:
“While located at Nigaluk, at
the mouth of the Colville River,
in 1893, I had the following ex
perience which was unusual to
say the least:
“The Northern Lights are very
strong and travel low in the
Arctic. We had several dog teams
out on the tundra and the lights
were shooting about in all di
rections- We could hear them
crackling and snapping like
machine guns.
“At the time referred to we
were directly in the midst of an
immense beam; it came along
at a terrific speed and smote us
like a hurricane knocking us off
our sleds- The dogs ran in all
directions and the minute I got
to my feet I saw the light speed
ing inland.
“I have never told anyone
about this because I did not
know what to make of it until
a few years ago when a man
over in the Kotzebue Sound re
gion had the same experience
and published it in some maga
zine.
“I am perfectly certain now
that at that time a Northern
Light ray hit us. In any case I
am informing your readers the
truth of the circumstances sur
rounding the peculiar incident.
