HUNDREDS SICK WITH SMALL
POX IN LOWER KUKON-NOME
AREA, SAYS OR. SUTHERLAND
land reached almost every infected
place with the exception of Candle,1
which was visited by Dr. O’Hara of
Nome, in 25.1-2 flyioK hours, during:’
which 2,040- miles were covered.
Fog and blizzard conspired against
the success of the trip both, traveling \
to and from Nome. On both legs of;
the flight directions were lost in heavy
weather and especially on the home-.
ward flight the expedition almost
-Came to grief.
Dr. Sutherland and Pilot JMoel Wien,
in whose plane the flight was made,
were absent from Fairbanks about a
month, having left here on the morn- |
ing of November 22. They landed!
both at Marshall and Mountain Vil- i
lage, where Dr. Sutherland., adminis- i
tered vaccine and prescribed, treat-!
ment. No difficulty was had in land.-1
ing, though Wien’s plane was the,
first to fly to those communities.
When the fliers left Mountain Village ;
they dared not take, across country.,.
0
■Wi
lis no accurate maps were available,
i nd so had to follow the Yukon to its
mouth and then turn north. St. Mi
chael was passed and all lookel well
j for the completion of the flight to
r Nome, when the plane ran into a
blinding snowstorm, which forced
! Wien to turn inland. No relief was
found, and for an hour a*nd a half
they flew over the mountains without
any definite idea of their location.
Finally the plane soared over the
Yukon once more- and Wien flew 75
miles up th.e river.- Darkness then set
in and a landing ,*ns made on a bar.
Dr. Sutherland a pot the pilot tied the
plane to a tree so it would not be
blown away and prepared to spend
thes night there. Fortunately, how
ever, and Indian carrie by and told
them of a trapper’s cabin three miles
away, adding that td¥.- -were 22 miles
below Kaltag.
i along tneir supply <tt> provisions—
a can of salmon, a left-over sandwich
and some chocolate—-chemen walked
to the cabin, where they found a pot
• of beans and some cooked meat.' That
they left strictly alone when the In
dian informed them it was lynx meat.
The next morning they .returned to
the plane at an early hour, heated the
motor, took off and flew to Kaltag to
replenish their gas supply, which had
by then sunk to 15- gallons. Only 25..
.gallons of fuel could.he. btalned at.
Kaltag, but it proved sufficient to take
the airmen to Unaiakleet, .where a
further supply was placed in the
tanks.' At Unaiakleet Dr. Sutherland
, treated some severe cases of smallpox
in the limited time at his disposal.
Hopping oc from there, the plane
followed the coastline to Norton bay
-and flew over the floe ice to the solid
land on the west. The remainder of
the trip to Nome was made without
incident.
For over two weeks the plnne was
stormbound at Nome, but last Thurs
day weather reports were favorable
and a start for Fairbanks was mde.
The hop cross Norton bay .was made
safely nd a direct course was plotted
for Nulato. As the flight..continued,
however, the fog became thicker and
thicker untij at last the .terrain below
was completely bidd-n. For over 200
; miles Wien flew blind until a,lowered
■asoline supply and .imminent peril of
crashing into a mountainside made
■ situation desperate.
Idealizing that he could not con
tinue, Wien turned in the direction of
Unaiakleet on the chance that fog had’
not rolled in fruro the ocean. His
compass course proved accurate and
the plane arrived safely over its des
tination. For three days the fliers
were held there by a blizzard and did
not get off thcs' ground until yester
i day, when they flew to Ruby. The'
240 miles from Ruby to Fairbanks
were covered today in the fast time
i of two and a-half hours.
