 Until He Passed
WAS BORN IN NEW YORK

Over to the westward near Popoff Island one of the Shumagin group an incident took place recently which shows the sterner side of life far from the conveniences of civiliza- tion. and because the players were a half-breed lad and his white father does not lessen the interest in the affair says the Valdez Miner.
 Thomas H. Devine was recently a scholar in the Baptist Orphanage on Wood Island
 The lad left the Orphanage and journeyed several hundred miles west to the Shumagins, where his father dwelt alone, the boys mother hay ing died
 The elder Devine. or "Old Tom" as he was called was ailing when his young son arrived, and shortly after took to his bed

 He was ill a month or so before the inroads of disease bet0keDed approaching dissolution, and during all these weeks the boy faithfully meals, tending to his few wants. and making nasty excursions around the island to take up the nets which furnished them their daily food from the sea
 The last two weeks of his fathers illness were especially trying to Young Tom" as his father could not sleep, and to use the boys words, was not as patient in his sufferings as he should have been. But the last two nights of his fathers life were made easier by his sufferings becoming deadened by the bangs of approaching death, and the boy had little rest through the day times. Sick Man Seemed Cheerful
 Up to the last day or so the lad never suspected that his father was on his death bed. as he became more cheerful and told his son that he was willing, even anxious to die. The boy thought his father talked queerly, but had no idea that the end was so near. It came without his knowing anything about it. One morning he turned ill to have a little nap in the forenoon, as his patient seemed to be resting easily, and about 10:30 he arose to prepare din ner. He cooked the meal and sat down to await the time his father would awake to eat it. The old man seemed so quiet the boy went over i to him and found he was dead The end had come peacefully.
 Went To Fishing Village The lad bravely set to work and after laying the corpse out the best he could, started by himself fol Sand Point, a small fishing village and postoffice on Humboldt Harbor esta ablished in 1891. Upon arriving at Sand Point he asked for hell 1 from the postmaster and another mar the only residents within severa hundred miles. and they turned il and helped him build a coffin. 4 heavy southwestern blew in from tn.
