GETTING ACQUAINTED
Some distance from Wood Island,
perhaps 65 miles over on Kodiak
Island there is an Aleute village call
ed Kagel Harbor. The natives there
are very poor. From that village
there came to the mission some years
ago a boy named Perkopi Ashouwuk
When he had been in the mission
awhile he liked it so much he want
ed to bring his little brother. He
was allowed to go after him. On his
return he carried in his arms a little
brown boy with a very sore foot
That boys name was Patia. He had
fallen on the cliffs making an uglv
hole in his foot. His wardrobe was
rather limited. A pair of overalls, a
shirt, a pair of socks, a basket hat
and his brothers coat.
Patia is now about 15 years old.
His nick name is Peach". He is
the boy, who when he went swim
ming. was asked if he got wet, replied
“No I had all my clothes off." He
nas black straight liair, dark brown
eye* a round merry face, and a large
stock of good nature.
At the present lime he is the cow
and barn boy, and takes care of the
Church. While he may not be as
bright at bis books as some, vet he
has a decided talent for drawing, and
no boy can make a better schooner
than lie, and that too with a jack
knife as the only tool. For nonsense
and ‘ monkey-shines’’ Fatia has no
peer ill the mission.
On a fox island, called Cape Eliz
abeth Island, over near the mainland,
Philip Olsen was born Oct. 27th 1890
His father is a Swede, and Philip
looks like one too, in spite of the fact
that his mo her was a native woman.
When be was less than tw > years old
his mother died; and his father t-sed
to carry him in a sack on Ins back
