ALFRED TEI8BERG RETURNS (
FROM SHIP WRECK
Alfred Teisberg, who has been '
connected with the Lomen Rein
deer and Trading Corporation, |
having arrived in Nome this year |
from the States, and w’ho Jour- |
neyed north to Kotzebue on the j
last sailing of the Silver Wave,
arrived in Nome by dog team last
Monday from the scene of the
stranded vessel.
Accompanied by H. J. Christ
ensen of York they left Reindeer
Camp, which is about 2.5 miles
from Cape Espenberg, three teams
of dogs being procured through
the assistance of George Goshaw
at Shismaref, and mushed 40 miles
the first leg of their journey down j
the coast to Shismaref. Bill 'Arm
strong, another member of tb*»
party als-* making the trip with
another team.
At Shismaref. Mr. Teisberg said,
tney were royally entertained and !
cared for by George Goshaw. who j
is running the largest blue fox !
farm in Alaska or any place else, j
as a matter of fact. He was 1
greatly surprised to see such an j
extensive fox farm, which is be- !
ing supervised and conducted un
der the able management of Mr. .
Goshaw. with the 102 blue fox j
shipped in from fox farms in j
Southeastern Alaska and with a :
number of fox already in captiv- j
jty, there are approximately 140
of the animals on this far 'northern
farm. The Blue fox seem to
be taking kindly to this northern
climate and are thriving daily and
taking on more weight. The ;
farm is on the mainland, conse- ;
quently the animals are fenced in
by wire meshing, and improvised
dugouts or kennels provided for
them which they seek when fright- |
ened or wish to hide from one 1
another.
Mr. Goshaw when learning that
the Silver Wave had drifted out !
to sea from Kotzebue, immediately j
sent dog teams with natives along
the coast with instructions for ,
other natives to build signal fires
so that those aboard the doomed
vessel might be attracted by them
and get safely ashore. After j
learning that the men aboard the
vessel had landed on the beach,
he dispatched natives with dog
teams to Deering in order to as
sist them in returning.
Mr. Teisberg also reports that
193 reindeer belonging to the Shis
maref native herd were drowned
the latter part of October in an
attempt to cross the young ice
which had formed on the Arctic
river, due to the fact that there
were so many of them trying to
cross at one time that their weight
was too much for the ice which
gave way with them. Many of
the deer following were able to
reach safety by walking over the
carcasses of the deer that had
broken through.
The natives along the coast re
port plenty of seal being caught
in the sea and appear to have
plenty of other kow kow. and as I
a result are happy and healthy. I
At Teller the residents of this i
prosperous little city were all in r
good health and well provided with '
the necessities of life,' having been
provided with provisions from the
Cutter Majave, which went to the
Telief of the people of Teller on
the same trip north in search of
the Silver Wave. Mr. Armstrong
is waiting at Teller for another
team to bring him on to Nome.
During the stay of the party at
Teller a pretty wedding was sol
emnised, when Captain Albert
'Walters and Miss Mary Bernhart
were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony, the ceremony being
performed by the United States
Commissioner Mrs. 'Ethel Marx,
after which the entire village
joined in the festivities.
The dog teams which conveyed
the party to Teller turned back at
thfs point, and Mr. Teisberg was
conveyed to Nome by Sam Torkel
son and his fast Siberian dog
team, arrivfng in Nome. Monday,
Nov. 24th.

YOVXG JACK OTARREL
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
Hush O’Farrell. Sr., received a
telegram on Thanksgiving (Jay
containing the sad news of the
death of his son Jack who had
contracted pneumonia. Shortly
previous he had received a mes
sage telling of the illness of the
lad and it seemed almost unbe
lievable that the strong, hearty
youngster could possibly he sick.
Jack, who was five years of
age. was the pride of his parents
lives, a husky young fellow who
was known and loved bv nearly
every liabftant of this town, and
had never known a sick day since
his arrival in this world.
Mrs. O’Farrell left on one of
the last boats for Seattle with
three of her hoys, leaving the
older son. Hugh Jr.. with his
father here. The purpose of her
trip was to have their youngest
son. aged one year, who had not
been well during the summer
where he could be properly nursed
back to health. Mrs. O’Farrell
also has another son with her,
Frank, aged 7.
Friend^ here generally are
shocked over the news of this
sad and untimely ending of the
young life and extend the most
sincere sympathy to the stricken
parents, who are thus separated
so widely at this dark hour of
their great grief.
