NATIVE CHILDREN MEET
DEATH IN SNAKE RIVER
Two small Kskuivo children. I>aisy
Koonokpeyak. aged 12 years, and
Diana Keyaksuk a Red 8. were (Irown
rd in Snake River shortly i*efore D
o’clock Monday evening as a result of
attempting to cross the river on a
narrow plank spanning an open gap
in the temporary trestle built across
the stream last spring to facilitate the
Snake ItiOer harlK»r construction ac
The only witness t<» the tragedy was
another native girl. Irene Mahgunna,
aged ft. The oldest of the two na
tives Avas »i resident of Nome, while
the young' r was a visitor from Wales.
Irene, the third child is also from
Wales. The trestle from which tie
two little ones plunged to their death
is situated dose to the river entrance
and cx£pnds between the cast and west
roTOtments. Owing to the frequent
“•‘Out 23 feet in width in the trestle
mar the east bank. This was former
ly covered by several heavy timhe-s
j and planks and afforded an entirely
j safe means of crossing the river. As
a result it speedily became used by
pedestrians as a short cut to th<\
sand spit while work was in progress
on the west side of the river. Roth
whites and natives were accustomed to
take this route to and from t.ho spit
to avoid the long journey via the
bridge, a half tnile or so up stream.
With the suspension of work on the
west side of the river, however, the j
heavy stringers crossing the opening
were taken away leaving only a single
3x12 plank spanning the opening be
tween the east revetment and trestle
Acoording to the story told hy Irene
Mahgunna. the three children left‘their
homes on the sandspit Monday morn
ing bound on a berrying expedition.
On returning in the evening the child
ren made their way Into town and
were proceeding home when it was
suggested by Daisy that they could
get home sooner bv crossing the tres
tle. Irene admits that they all three
bad been warned not .to cross the
structure by their parents and others.
The children debated the question
some time, Daisy insisting on crossing
the others demurring. The younger
children finally yielded to the elder
girl's persuasions. Irene crossed the
plank in safe ty and sat down on the
trestle work to watch the others.
Daisy, she says, led the way, holding
Diana by the hand, the latter being
afraid to attempt the crossing alone.
There was still light enough to so*'
plainly and the two children encount
ered no 'difficulty until within about
ten feet of the solid trestle work.
Then little Diana apparently lost he>
balance and fell froini the plank.
Daisy, who is said to have been handl
capped by having- a big seo.1 i»oke on
her buck, held onto the child’s hand
for a few moments/ meanwhile try
ing to lift her back to the plank. The
exertion caused her to lose her own
balance and In a twinkling both plung
'd into the ice cold water some eight
or ten feet l*elow. Daisy says neither
»f the children raised an outcry which
might have warned the pile driver
crew working several hundred feet;
father down stream.
Daisy does not know what further
befell iter companions, as she became
terrified and decided to run home. The
water is about 10 feet in depth at the.
point where the children fell in and
she cannot recall whether they came
to tlie surface or rot. The frightened
child fD'd to the upper end of the
samisplt and t**1 d what had happened
t > Daisy's relatives. The mother of
tin drowned child then hurried to the
seen© but could see nothing of the un
fortunate children. The woman then,
infomned the pile driver crew, none
and with their assistance another un
successful search was made along tli *
channel. The woman then proceed

cally appealing for assistance. C’apt.
Ross and Jiis crew immediately |
launched a boat and hastened to the
river mouth, where a thorough search
"as made, but revealed no sign of the
two unfortunates .Ca.pt. Ross then
commenced a systematic dragging of
the river below the trestle with nets
and grapnels and also combed th •
waters around the bar and along the
const on both sides of the river chan
