OF THE ARCTIC
OLDTIMER IS THRU; NOW IN
FRISCO WHERE HE EX
PECTS TO REMAIN
| Frank Silva, 53, last of the
! independent salmon fishermen—
J once so numerous—arrived in San
I Francisco recently a ghost-like fig
| ure of the robust man who left
- -— ?--;
four months ago for the Arctic
circle.' i
The North, which he had con
quered for more than 25 years and
from which he had wrested not
only a living but a competency
in his old age, at last conquered
him. Silva has quit.
Silva is back in San Francisco
living at 910 Montgomery street
with all thoughts of going to sea
again out of his mind.
He lived on dog flesh for eight
days and was saved from death
by a priest. He is through with
the North which, in his youth,
was so kind to him, but which, in
his middle age. was so cruel.
Left in .Launch
Silva left San Francisco early
in January for the Alaska fishing
I waters. He went in his launch in
which he had sailed for 20 years
or more.
He arrived in Bristol Bay on
time and set up bachelor quarters
in a cabin as he had done for so
many years. He waited for the
salmon season to open.
With his boat he averaged thru
the years, 15,000 or more salmon
a season. That was better than
working for the fisheries. He sold
his fish for so much each. Each
year he averaged several thousand
dollars.
Falls Deadly 111
And just as the salmon season
was about to open Silva became
ill.
A Catholic priest, one of the
few white men in the neighbor
hood, called on Silva.
"Yes/' said the priest, "you are
a sick man. I am not a physi
cian, but I know that you have
a weak heart and high blood
pressure. You should leave here
at once for a settlement where
you can get proper treatment.’*
Silva sold his boat and bought
13 dogs and a sleigh. He started
overland to Seward. It was a trip
that an ordinary musher could
make in eight days. ' v
His provisions for himself and
| his dogs gave out. Several dogs
| died. He cooked dogs that died
and at first fed them to the sur
vivors. Toward the last he ate
of the boiled dog himself. Eight
days of that.
At last he arrived at Seward.
Only three dogs of the original 13
remained. Silva was in the har
ness during the last 20 miles,
helping the dogs along.
When he left San Francisco he
weighed 200 pounds. He now
weighs just 110.
"I sold my boat and I am
through with Alaska,” said Silva.
“Yes, I am the last of the inde
pendent fishermen. I hated to
sell my boat. But I am back in
San Francisco. That’s enough.”
