WALKED FROM CANDLE
TO CATCH VICTORIA
Oscar Swanson, a resident of Can
dle. arrived In Nome Thursday after
a nine day’s mush from Candle.
Mr. Swanson was one of the unfor
tunate northerners who found it
impossible to procure passage on the
Valdez. With Mr. Swanson came
Louis Hannock a fellow unfortun
ate. Three members of the Cordo
vado camp were left behind and
possibly they too have started to
walk overland. For several days
they tried to enter into telephonic i
communication with Nome to learn
further boat movements for the
North, but as the line was down they
had no success and likely started to
walk. However the contingency re
mains that they may have decided
to remain north a few days longer,
in which case they will be fortunate
enough to catch the Ram or the
Nokatak and possible the Sea Wolf,
the latter boat having determined
to go as far as Teller. Truly it is
an unfortunate circumstance that
forces these pioneer northern min
ers and business men to walk sev
eral hundred miles to reach the port
u' Nome at this time of the year.

were more limited than would have
been the case had the boat reached
her destination.

I TRADER HERMAN HAS
SUCCESSFUL FUR
(iATHKRN(i TRIF
The Liebes trader Herman. Capt.
I C. T. Peterson, left Nome July 14th.
1922. bound for Coronation Gulf in
the Arctic and returned to Teller
Sept. 23 and left for Frtaco Sept. 25.
^Leaving Nome the Herman pro
ceeded at* far an Point Hope and
there encountered ice conditions
which held her for over a month
without being able to make much
progress. During this ytne the
boat cruised back and forth in the
noigh»>orhood of Cape . Lisburne.
From Lisburne to Point Barrow an
Ice harrier for six miles off shore
prevented landing or even approach
to the shore. At Barrow she and
the Bear arrived about the same
time an dfortunately a wind sprung
up opening a lead so that both boats
could approach within a short dis
tance of the shore. The Henman
landed her mail and some little
Leaving Point Barrow the boat
started for Herschel Island, trading
alone tbo coast as she proceeded.
The Lady Kindersley left Barrow
about one week later than the Her
man and arrived at Hersdhell Island
two days ahead of the other boat.
From Herschell Island the Her
man got as far east as Bailey Island,
about 280 miles east from Her
scholl. As her destination was Cor
onation Gulf with freight for Mr.
Klinkenbere she was unable to make
that point and after stopping 24 hrs
at Bailey Island returned to Teller.
According to reports from the na
tives Klinkenberg had some 2000
fox skins which were intended for
the Herman, but as she was unable
to reach him the furs went to the
Hudson Bay Company.
At Bailey Island the fur catch was
phenominal. one man caught 86 in
three days, while a certain family
had caught over 800 prime skins,
all of which were obtained by the
Herman. As he traded along the
entire coast, wherever he was able
to land. Captain Peterson bad a
most successful trading season, not
withstanding the' unfavorable
weather conditions.
From Tangent Point, on the way
to Herschell. the boat encountered
newly forming ice and for miles
were forced to employ an ice break
er consisting of a boom with three,
anchors attached, swung from the
bow. About * miles an hour pro
gress was in this way possible.
No' whaling was possible this
year on account of the weather con
ditions.
Captain Peterson will return to
these Northern watei* next year
with a new boat to take the place
of the Herman; a boat larger and
more modern than the present one.
Captain Peterson reports that the
Lady Kindersley got no farther
titan Herschell Island —she too
was bound for Coronation Gulf—
and was forced to leave her freight
at that point. According to Walter
Marx’s Teller Scout the Kindersley
was forced to beach her freight
and accordingly lost all of her per
ishable goods.
Fred Walkie was a passenger
from Nome on the Herman and re
mained with her until her return
trip to Teller, from which port he
returned to Nome Monday on the
Nokata k.
