ESKIMO ROYALTY
IS REAL QUEEN
RULES TWENTY RETAINERS AND
REINDEER HERD, SAY TRAV
ELERS IN THE NORTH
SEATTLE, Nov. 30.—Queens may
come and queens may go, but Queen
Marie is still queening it up at Sinlock,
on North sound, according to Alas
kans who arrived Outside in Seattle
as navigation closed in the north
land.
Sinlock Mary is one of the North’s
best known Eskimo women. She is
virtual queen of her tiny settlement
on the sound, between St. Michael and
Unalakleet. Here, in a village of
four or five cabins, she lives with 20
retainers to do her bidding and her
Poker creek reindeer herd of 2,000
animals for a royal exchequer.
Mary broke into fame when, in
1899, she gave away her entire herd
. of deer to aid the whaling fleet, ice
locked at Barrow. Old-timers will re
member how the famous old Bear
went north to the rescue, put Capt.
Jarvis ashore and gave him orders to
get thru.
1 Mary then lived on the Seward pe
ninsula, near the spot on which Jar
vis landed. When she heard of the
whalers’ plight, she offered her small
herd for their benefit.
Jarvis drove them overland, thru
the icy night, to Barrow and saved
the whaling fleet. Not all Mary’s deer
. were slaughtered. The few that re
mained have developed a herd now
estimated at about 50,000.

Mary got a few more deer after a
while and rebuilt her herd to its pres
ent proportions.
And so, ill the evening of her days,
she queens it, without the aid of spe
cial trains and press agents, up on
Norton sound.
