NATIVE CASTAWAYS RETURNED
TO HOMES BY BUREAU
OF EDUCATION
The throe Yukon casta ways who ar
rived in Nome last week, after drifting
for fifteen days on a floating ice cnke
in Bering Sea. with no other shelter
than a flimsy tent and with no susten
ance aside from a small quantity of
raw seal fle«h. were started on their
way home Wednesday morning, after
being fitted out for the homeward trip
by the Bureau of Education superin*
tendant. Mr Dyfed Evans.
As related In last weeks' issue of the
Nugget, the natives belong at a vil
lage situated on the coast near th?
[lower mouth of the Yukon. They aro
believed to have drifted fully 125 miles
from the time they were carried away
on the ice floe near their village until
they reached Nome. Oapt. Thos. A.
Ross .>f the (’oast Guard, who care l
for the men until they were taken un
der the care of the Bureau of Educa
tion during the afternoon of the day
following their arrival, says he was
told by the castaways that the ice
cake on which they were carried
away drifted over a very circuitous
course when in motion. They report
ed seeing Stewart Island near St
Michael some days after they were
cast adrift., and were at that time
| drifting in a southeasterly direction
Iau-r they apparently drifted deep in
to Norton Sound as they reported
|sighting Gape Denbeigh. situated near
juejv so far ofr. however, that landing
WiUS °l*t ofthe question. After sighting
I Cape IVnbeigh. they apparently float
ed out to sea. in the direction of St
Lawrence Island until wind or current
brought thefn toward the Nome shore
end enabled their landing on soli]
Ice The natives said for eleven of
the fifteen days of thedr journey, the
ice cake moved very little. Landin?
on the solid ice. the party was four
days in reaching Nome, according to
their story, and apparently trawled
about 65 miles to reach shore.
i ney tolu (..apt. I loss they killed
no seal during the fifteen days journey,
the seal on which they subsisted hav
ing been shot during the day before
the ice carried them away. One of
them said that after landing: on the
shore ice they found their dogs badly
debilitated through lack of food and
were going to kill them, but finally
decided to bring them through. The
animals managed to pull the sled and
boa.t through to within about four
miles from Nome before one of the
sled runners broke and caused them
to abandon the boat. I^ater it was se
cured for them by a Nome native The
Party possessed a total uf thirteen
matches with which they managed to
make a fire of seal blubbe • and melted,
enough snow for drinking water en
route, thus avoiding suffering from
thirst. All three of the men are mar

Capt. Iloss provided the-men with fa-i
cllities for a warm bath and change
of clothes and also sat them down to
the first real meal they had enjoyed
since leaving their homes. Neatly the
entire party was suffering from swol
en joints and displayed many indica
tions of phvsdcial exhaustion,, but af
ter bathing, eating and rubbing the!.
inflamed joints with liniment, they ex
pressed themselves as feeling "pretty
good.” Saturday afternoon they were
turned over to Mr Evans, who provid
ed them with supplies for their jour
ney home and also arranged for their
shelter enroute. The natives had
their own dog team and sled, brough*
from the Yukon homes.
