TOOTS|E HAS
DISAPPEARED
Well Known Eskimo Woman
of Nome Believed Lost
When Ice Went Out.

NOME, Alaska, March 16.-The
Indians here are alarmed at the dis
appearance of an Eskimo woman
named Tootsie. She disappeared
Sunday when the ice went out. She
is well known through association
with expeditions of Amundsen and
Stefansson.
Tootsie was an ardent crab fisher
and she would wait for the rest of
the Eskimos to go to church and
then steal fish and crabs.
The ice moved offshore for con-
siderable distance and then broke
up. Numerous leads made rescue
difficult and dangerous but it was
believed all had been rescued by
the Coast Guard.
