KING ISLAND NATIVES
MAKE ANNUAL VISIT
Last Saturday evening six big
<kin boats filled with natives from
King Island hove in sight and pad
Iled to their camping grounds East
if Nome by the Milk Ranch.
About one hundred men, women
ind children, constituting tht entire
King Island tribe of Eskimos, with
heir household goods and complete
hunting outfits, landed and proceed
2d to make themselves at home for
the summer. One boat load stopp
ed at the Sand Spit where they will
deviate from their usual custom
,-nd remain apart from their fellows
When asked how they fared dur
ing the winter the reply was that it
had been a trying winter, food was
scarce and bard to obtain. In fact
the condition prevailing on their
island was little better than that of
the Siberian mainland. With all
their privations only two people
died, one woman and a little child
succumbed to a throat affection.
While this tribe is possessed with
the odor peculiar to natives they are
much cleaner and more thrifty than
those of the Diomerles and will soon
bring specimens of their handiwork
into the market. Among these is
landers there are many clever ivory
workers and the skin garments made
by them are quickly bought by the
public.
The time taken by the tribe to
reach Nome was “One Sleep.” They
left their homes Friday morning and
reached Nome Saturday evening.
There being little wind sails were
not used. Both men and women
paddled all the way from King Is
land to Nome.

10:47 a m
The tides at Notne are more
ess diurnal, that is. only one high
vater and one low water occur dur
ng a lunar day. The predicted
imes of high and low water will not
ilways exactly correspond with the
ictual occurence of the tides, as the
vater levels are sometimes more de
pendent on wind than on tide. For
this reason no accurate prediction
jf the height of water at high or
low tide can be given. The average
height of higher high tides above
mean lower low water for Nome it
given as 1.6 ft. in the government
tide tables. All water levels are
referred to Mean Lower Low Water.
A monument in the southwest cor
