A LITTLE HERO
It was our privilege last summer
to get acquainted with a little hero,
a lad of 10 or 12 years, Nukey I ar
ionott, who was helping his father
on the “Lina K“, running between
Spruce Island and Kodiak. Fre
quently we have moored our launch
along side of the “Lina K’ when at
Kodiak. Nick was always on hand
to tike a line and help make fast.
Hut we will have his help no more,
for on the 9th of las *on*.h he died
a hero’s death.
A creek runs near the Larionoff
home on Spruce Island. Since the
eruption of Mt. Katuiai a great de
posits of volcanic ash has washed
down the creek forming a bar at its
mouth. At low tine the creek cuts a
channel through this bar leaving
high banks on each side. The banks
crumble and when mixed with water
the ashes form a quicksand.
Nicker anil 1m sisters Mary and
Katherine were playing on the hank
when it suddemy nave war, pieiipi
Uting them into the water. Nicker
rescued his stsier Mary, and his dog
drugged Katherine out. Not knowing
this Nicker was returning to help
her when he was caught hy this
quicksand and pulled below the sur
face of the water. As he disappear
ed his last words were' tell mamma".
It was some hours before his body
was recovered, and then only after
exceedingly difficult work, as a huge
devil fish had gotten hold of it.
Mr. aud Mrs l.arionoff hare the
sympathy of this entire community
in the loss of their brace little son.
