BICEING ICE IN IHE YUKON
Experience of Related Travellers on the Way Out
 From the lditarod

Tho Gall of 1913 found the writer on a business trip in the lditarod district, and being delayed beyond tbe regular boat cheduled for the last trip, faced a long winter in this isolated camp or a walk some 600 miles over the trail 70 Seward A mush of his kind not ape pealing 10 myself and one ortwo others anxious Go get ont, WE looked around for some means of getting Go tbe out side.
 Ed Ubi and Mike Maher, of lditarod, hearing oG our desire to get out for the winter, agreed to fix up an old scow that had seen a great deal of service on the upper Idj'srod. This scow was about forty feet long and nine or ,en feet wide, with l2 inch side boards, leaked pretty oadly, and was full of water. Mr. Uhl being anxious To get outside. agreed to put a tent on the scov. furnish food lwe to supply our owu beddiug), aud laud us in St. Michael at s6O per. This looked good to me. got tn touch with parties on Otter and Flat creek, and with all hauds husuing we secured the promise of 2l men that they would take the chance. An of this was arranged for during the days of the great storm at Nome, between Oct. 9th and 10th.
 After satisfying themselves that they could get a good passenger list, Uhi and Maher, captain and engineer of the good ship Mosquito, with a carpen- ter, got busy and put up a tent with pilot house in rear, built standees, got the old hulk into the water, and the fun commenced.
 The boys found an old Kloudike cook stove which was set up amidship, an old air tight heater installed in the bow. A S5h.p Reliance auto truck engine furnished power with an 18-inch wheel. The weather had turned very cold. By Oct 9th all mining operations had to tie up. Everything froze, and on the 9th, 7th and 8th, way below freezing. On Thursday, the 9th, it turned warmer This made us all feel better Every body in Iditarod was sure we were all going to a certain death. Bets were freely offered Cbut no take,sJ that we would never get to the mouth of the Yukon, and that the old rotten scow with 15-inch side boards would not live in Boring sea minute. Personally, now agree with them.) There is an old saying that Providence looks after fools, etc. It was only by such aid that we got out The weather moderating some Thurs day evening, the 9th, it began to snow, and by midnight there was several inches of snow on the tent and several inches of water in the hull of the scow. To take care of the water, Engineer Maber-known all over the North as aWindy Mike"-a fine chap to travel with. bored two inch hole through The bottom of the scow, nailed five gallon oil can, with hole ia the bottom, over the hole in the bottom of the

scow, aud with an ordinary tin force pump such as grocers use .to pump oil out of barrels, kept the water down in Che hull of the scow by standing up with this tin pump set on the floor and pumping water into the tim can in the center of the boat. We had to keep this up all the time, day and night, to keep adoat.
 About midnight ofOct9th we rouud- ed up 12 passengers out of the promised % or more. The horrible end we were going 10 meet did not look good Go some of the fellows that were anxious Co get out. Not daring to take any more chances on delays, as the river was freezing and fuil of slush snow, we decided to leave as soon as it got light enough Any one acquainted with the Iditarod river can fully appreciate its wonderful course-in fact, it is SO tor tuous you hardly know whether you are going or coming. So at 7:l3 a. m. Friday, Oct lO we cut the rope. Aboard were che following: Captain Ei Uhl, Engineer Mike Maher, Doc Maddnq, Geo. Shields, Bob McMillan, Tex Goddard, Harry Harmon, LWlIiis, Mr. Tiffany, Tom Bates, NJ Emory and two others whose names ] have forgotten. This was the hoodoo mum. Der l3. So we left at 7:13 a. m. Friday. After cutting loose it appeared some of us were going to be hungry. Every body busy getting settled, no breakfast in sight, SO yours truly suggested to Windy Mike it might be a good time to take my order for bacon, etc. The en zine had not got warmed up yet-was talking baok-in fact, acted just as if it was going to quit. want to say right then and there l became ac. ouainted with Windy Mike. If could say the things be did, the way he did, ] would toe running all of the N. c boats on the Yukon i'm go days There was no mistake about it. The engine, a 35 h. D, three cylinder, turning zoo per minute, sounded like a watch ticking in comparison. told him if he would repeat would see that he had plenty of help taking care of the eats end of the business. That broke the ice. He said it is sure a pleasure to meet a man with brains enough to know classical language when he hears it.. ] want to add there is no better meat or game cook in Alaska than Mike. It was up to some of us to get the good eats ready. We had % loaves of bread, 15 case of eggs, a crate of spuds, a ham, bacon, onions and beans. We expected to make St. Michael in four days, or some other place in the same time. We reached Dykemau, 85 miles down the river about 4:3O p. m., made a landing, got some gasoline and picked up an other passenger, making the 4th aboard.
 Everything worked fine, weather get ting colder every hour. With the two stoves and bot engine we were very comfortable As not one of the paa- aenqers had ever been down the Yukon as pilots, we were all on the anxious seat as to our course. We made the Innoko about midnight and picked up broken down launch with couple of natives and sQuaw man; took them in tow and landed them in Holy Cross about 7:30 a. ID. Sunday; secured some more gasoline, but could get no bread. | n. rr-L-- l..-.- .L,.-l . . ., rnnIrinn
