MAN FROM NTMVAK
The schooner Nokatak under the |
<■< m:nand of Captain John Hegness
:• turned to Nome thin week with a
native aboard that is thought to be
ii -ane. Captain Hegneas upon ar-l
r ving at Nunivak learned from na- |
lives there that a man living in one i
id the native villages had succeeded
i keeping the natives in that dis
trict in terror for the last couple of
According to Captain Hegness, the
Biological Survey Boat Hazel arriv
ed in Nunivak a few days prior to
the arrival of the Nokatak and this
native who s supposed to be mental
ly unbalanced came alongside the
Hazel and demanded ammunition j
land food. Upon the arrival of the!
I Nokatak Captain Hegness started to
| build a corral for the Lomen Rein
deer & Trading Company and while
building the corral was visited by
(this native who acted very queer.

i about this man. Hegness was inform
During the time the corral was
| being constructed the native sat on
top of a sand hill close by. overlook
( Tg the corral, with his guns along

j came down to the corral and when
( Hegness asked him if he cared to go
! t( work, he replied that he did not.
| but went home and sent his oon
j down to go to work. Captain Heg
ness decided that the best thing to
dc was to get this half crazed man
aboard the Nokatak and get him to
Nome. This man being very suspic
ious would not go aboard the Noka-1
( tak until Captain Hegness by a clev-i
; er ruse got him to go aboard in his
company, once aboard, -the Captain
after borrowing the native's knife
j tcld him that all the natives on the
i island wanted him (the Captain) to
take the native away. Upon learn
, ing that he was to be brought to |
Nome the native flew into a rage
and grabbing a capstan bar nearby!
, beg'an swinging it over his head in <
a menacing manner. Captain Heg
j ness realizing that further persua-j
! sion was out of the question, took !
| the bar away from the native and 1
• with no more force than was neces
sary subdued the violent native and
j placed him in the hold of the vessel
j and returned him to Nome where he
! was turned over to the United States
j Marshal's Office where he is now in
safe keeping until it is decided what
to do with him.
The natives told Captain Hegness
that this man had killed two other
natives since he became in the pres
ent condition, all the natives on the
island were in fear of their lives and
one of the villages was completely
deserted by natives thru fear of this
| maniac.
