HUSH HEROICS
AGAIN FEATURES OF
DOG MUSHERS RELIED UPON TO
FIND AIRPLANE PARTY LOST
IN ARCTIC
Again Alaska steps to the centre of
the stage with heroics which are re
sulting of epics being written about
man’s most faithful friend, the dog.
Alaskan malamutes and dogmushers
held the attention of the world in
the famous roce with death in the
diphtheria epidemic. They were the
subject of editorials, poem3 and
feature stories. It was a subject that
never grows old with successive gen
erations—clean, unselfish heroics run
ning like a goldenthread throughout
! American history from the arrival of
the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock to the
present hour.
This time it is the dog musher on
whom reliance is placed to discover
and succor the airplane party missing
since Monday between Golovun and
Council Reports from the Arctic say
searching parties are now scouring the 1
vicinity of the trail in the hope of be
ing able to discover Pilot Merrill and
his passengers.
This is a usual occurrence in Alas
ka and causes little excitement. It is:
different in the States where the un
usual has ceased to happen. Hence
the Associated Press, the United Press,
the Universal News Service and Inter-;
national News, all of which are served
from the Gateway office, are keeping
the cables warm with requests for
every detail of the story, and faithful
Kobux, Kugurok and the other little
steeds of the north are looked to to
again stand in the premier position
as saviors when man’s most modern
means of transportation fails and lie
must throw back over centuries of time
to the most primitive beast of burden
for aid in his hour of need.
