Through the effort* of Nicholai'Fa
daotf, i* former mission boy, who wan
the foster son of the late chief And
remi Nan jack, quite a number of Al
eut people from Kagle Harbor, at the
south end of Kodiak Island, have

“the man wearing the yellow pants.”
This name “yellow pants” has clung

whose name is Illia. Stephan Mal
eknak a young man of perhaps 21
years, lives in KaUnuk’s home.
Mike Chowikbuk was second priest
at Eagle Flarbor. He now lives on
