ONE MAVS EXPERIENCE
OX AX ALASKA GLACIER
There are few who can portray
the fear, aud the desperation and
the feeling of utter helplessness and
despair that must assail a man when
he is caught by a blizzard on a
northern glacier, for there are but
few who have had such an experienc
and lived to tell the tale. Here is
one man, however, according to the
Valdez Daily Prospector of Decem
ber 16th, who had the courage, the
strength aud, what is of as great
importance, the good fortune, to
win through to safety despite the
almost insurmountable difficulties
and dangers he had to encounter
aud overcome while working his wa
over a storm swept glacier in the
coast range of mountains to the
westward:
"Max Lichtenberg reached Valdea
last night to report to the federal
authorities the death of hij partner,
Fred Grenough, who died November
26th, five miles south of the Tazllna
lake, where the two men were camp
ed while on a hunting and prospect
ing trip.
"Grenought was sick for 21 day*
prior to his death and for 14 days
was unable to keep any food on his
stomach, and during the last seven
days could not be induced to eat.
Lichtenberg hoped when the vomit
ing ceased that Grenough would get
better, but in spite of every effort
the man died.
"Unable to bury his partner be
cause of the frozen ground, Lich
tenberg wrapped him in his blanket^
placced the body in a tepee to pro
tect it from animals and started up
on his return to the coast, deciding
to come out over the Tazlina glacier
then drop down on the Columbia an
Shoup glaciers to reach the minin
camps, which he knew were establls
ed in the Shoup bay section.
"Lltchenburg had a terrible ex
perience on the trip out. Caught
in a storm while on the glacier, he
was forced to lay in camp for many
days; he run out of foou and fin
ally found it necessary to kill his
ilos, of which he had two, and to ea
them in order to keep life in his
body. For 14 days his only food
was do flesh.
"Breaking the trail all the way,
climbing to an altitude of 10,000
feet, crossing deep crevasses, buck
ing heavy gales which threatened to
Mow him from the mountain tpos,
pitching camp in the lea of large
rocks in the most sheltered places,
but continually working towards the
coast and safety, the prospector kept
on his weary way day by day, until
finally, when his supply of dog meat
was almost exhausted, he saw the
camps of the miners in the Shoup
glacier district and knew he was
safe.
"Litchenberg and Grenough left
Valdez October 6th with a dog team
belonging to Dan Wiltsey, they crosr
ed the Shouo, Columbia and Taz
llna glaciers and thus reached the
Tazliua watershed and established a
camp five miles south of the lake
and later established a camp 011
the lake for the purpose of catch
ing salmon, white fish and grey
ling to use for dog feea. In the
tall the lakes of the interior are
filled with salmon, and at all times
of the year white fish and grey ling
are plentiful. The men then intend
ed to trap and prospect but with
Grenough'fl illness nothing was done
While on the trip into the Tazlina
the men lost three of their dogs,
when they broke through the snow
crust and fell hundreds of feet into
a crevasse.
"Before his death Grecough real
ized that he could not live and ask
ed his partner to take his watch to
his daughter, who lives in Green
River City, Wyoming, but the watch
was dropped in the spruce boughs
used for the floor of the tent and
was left behind.
"Grenough also leaves a father,
who lives at Jackson Hole, Wyomln
The dead man was interested with
T. E. Doughterty, the Valdez mer
chant, and Eddie Held, the prospect
or, in the Minnie group of claims
near Shoup bay."
Llchtenberg's experience in being
caught In a blizzard whillc cross
ing the glacier is liable to be re
peated in the case of any one who
is foolhardy enough to make the
attempt to cross one of these death
traps during the winter time, but
there is only one chance in a mil
lion that <t could have such a
happy and satisfactory ending. In
most Instances, in the few cases
that are worded of such escapes,
the unfortunate who has passed
through the ordeal has lost either
one or both of his hands or his feet
from the effects of frost and from
thenceforth been a misery to him
self and a burden to his friends or
dependent upon some cht.ritable in
stitution for the means ot existence.
That Lichtenburg got through at
all was owing to his thorough ac
quaintance with the only methods
that could have been employedd to
give him even the small semblance
of a chance for life that he had.
He took advantage of every known
device of the man who has passed
his life amidst the dangers of the
wilds and who has become familiar
and unafraid of death through con
stant association with its presence.
How many of the men, think you,
who contemplate going into the new
gold fields of the Chisai a district
over the glaciers of the McCarthy
trail this winter would have the
knowledge of the courage and deter
mination if they should happen to b
caught in a blizzard to make camp
on its icy and snow covered surface,
with no fuel to make a fire and
with but a scant suply of provisions
and wait patienlty day after day for
the storm to abate? Of the thous
ands who will probably go into the
camp, we venture to say that the
number among the who would meet
the requirements to bring them safe
ly throlugh could easily be counted
upon the fingers of one hand.
