A dispatch from Fairbanks tin- j
dor date of December 10, says:
Still alivo aftor being imprison
ed under a load of supplies for
21 hours, with the temperature
below zero, vJohn Bernard, a civil
engineer* is lighting against doath
at the hospital in Fort Gibbon.
Imprisoned under the same load
was Jack Noble, the well known
freighter, who now lies buried in
the little cemetery at Hot Springs.
Both were caught under a load
of goods that tipped over near
Hot Springs Thursday, Novomber
21, and which was found by a
musher next day.
Noble left Hot Springs with a
load of goods for Tufty, and on
the way over he overtook Ber
nard and asked him to ride with
him on the load, which was pull
ed by two horses and two mules.
When the loaded sled cnme to a
small out-oil', made where a
washout had removed the orig
inal roadbed, the horses look the
old road and the runners struck
I lie deep ruts. This action caus
ed the load to spill over and then
riffhl itself partially. Noble was
eomplet»l\ blll'ied bv (Ik* load and
died within an hour. Hernard
was thrown far onoiifth so that
his bead protruded from Ihe bot
tom of I In* load, lie was in this
position for 21 hours, when Joe
spoke to the horses. His voice
was heard by Hernard. who yell
ed feebly, bill loud ••nougli for tin*
musher lo hear.
I'errin extricated Hernard stud
then lie managed to get out the
body of Noble. A team was sent
to ttn> relief of (lie injured man
from To fly hy Kelly & Anderson.
He was taken to the Springs by
Tom I)a\is. the freighter, and
from there to (In* hospital at Ft.
< Jibbon.
Hernard's feel weiv b'adlv froz
en and bis hands torn and cut by
