The Nome daily nugget., 1915-06-15

of the young Eskimo girl of the Chee- nix village as related to an interpreter of the Eskimo tongue at the request at considerable pains to procure the entire story for the benefit of the read CTS of the Nugget. AS to the story we have no comment to offer beyond remarking that it is most strange tale and doubly strange when it con sidered that the narrator IS not over ten or eleven years of age according to those who have known her since babyhood. By way of preface we will add that the story has been changed from the original in no essential de- gree, the work of editing being con hned principally to eliminating repeti tions, which are common throughout the Mss and also adding or changing such words as would make the real meaning more clear. According to the testimony of those who know the at tendant facts, the story is the result of d dream or trance occurring about the middle of February of the present year. The child remained in the trance like condition for some time and on recovering immediately related her ex- perisnces to the members of her fam fly, later repeating them for the bene fit of anyone who cared to hear.
 The story is supposed to occur about the month of September and is as fol lows: While l slept 1 found myself at a place called Walla Walla and looked at the sun and it was just the middle of the day. And l felt a great fear. Before me and all around were great mountains and while l was look ing at the mountains l saw the Person coming down the trail. All about it was very light, nothing like the light We have on earth, or there is nothing winter or cleaner than the clothes the Person wore. After l had recovered from my fright, l went in to the house which was nearby and told the people that the Shiney One had come down from the mountain. And then 1 saw that all the people were the natives that live on this side of the cape Cape Darby). Then I told the people to go nrt and see the Person who was com ing down the mountain But one of the men said that I was telling a lie And another said: Don't listen to him The child wouldn't tell the people such q story tunless il were so) But I told item over and over again that they Person. So they all went out, but as soon as they caught sight of Her they all fell down and buried their faces in their arms and begun to pray for they could not look at her as She was so very bright. So they went into the house again where they tcontinued to) pray, They all prayed that they might (be able to) see Her Oook at her) After they had gone into the house, I, myself went to meet Her be- fore She came to where I was. As soon
 
 Her and asked Her where She was from. So She pointed to the sun and said that She had come down from the sun. l then noticed that She was walking but not on the ground as though She walked but did not touch the earth. So, after She said that She had come down from the sun, said to Her. Ut must be hot up there" She said: "It is but it will not harm me or burn me as Git would) before I was placed there" The little man the (these) clothes. See here what wear" She said So I looked at the clothes she wore and they were thick and looked as though they were very heavy. So I said to her: Those clothes must be heavy" But she said to me: Truly they would be heavy if they were made on this earth but they are very light"
 She Ohen) took off Her clothes and laid them down and I said to Her: "Oh how nice you are to touch" and touched Her on the right hand and from her shoulder down the arm. As soon as I boucher Her I feel something very strong Ca feeling of great strength). So I said (exclaimed) "Oh my" And I touched Her again three times. But when I touched Her the third time I looked at myself and found that I was clothed in long gar ments and was white. So after that I looked around and saw two young persons standing near us and as soon as I saw them I recognized them both. Oh they were unclean. Their breasts were unclean, very unclean, (and seem- ANNNNNNNANAN>
