I’XPLEASANT EXPERIENCE
NEAR TELLER
Sam Torkelson and Commissioner
William Marx of the Port Clarence
district, encountered what is termed,
one, if not the worst, of all theiit
winter mushing experiences while
traveling from Point Spencer f • Tel
ler on November 1. according to the
Pioneer Scout. Teller's lively lit«‘>»
news journal, of which Walter J.
Marx, the commisioner’s you.is r n.
is proprietor and editor.
According to the juvenile newspa
per, Commissioner Man. and i’oi kel
son made the trip to Point Spencer !
with the latter’s dog team in search
of dog feed/ The storp which pro-,
vided the unpleasant and dangerous <
experience developed on the morning1
of November 1 and became steadily
worse as the day progressed under
the impulse of a southern gale. With
the approach of evening the storm
became so bad that the dogs refused
to face it and the two mashers wert* .
forced to take turns at leading the
team. It finally became so dark and
the storm raged so fiercely, that the
mushers decided to stop for the night.1
and camp. The Pioneer Scout con-!
tinues the story as follows:
“About 12 o’clock at night they I
woke up and found themselves in
water, the southerly wind having
raised the water so they had to get
out of their sleeping bags, which by
this time were water soaked, as well
as all the clothes they had. and move
to higher ground, where they had i •
crawl back into their bags as they
were the only shelter they had. Both j
said that if it had been a little colder j
they Vould have been frozen to death, j
as there was no chance to get away' ;
from It. Next morning about eleven
the storm let up enough so they couM
get to a cabin on Gold Standard
creek, about two miles from where
they, camped. Hefc? they found some
wood to start a fire and dry their,
clothes. Mr. Marx says it was the
worst trip he has ever had and Mr.;
Torkelsen says it was next to the
wo’rst, he having had a trip to Doug
las that was worse.*

in the line of speed.
The sled is about 10 feet in length i
