Vagabonding in South Africa, he joined with the German Army | (Foreign Legion version) in 1902, and for the next twe years helped to subdue the warlike Hottentots and Kaffirs in German West Af- rica. Following this, he turned to a seafaring life and signed out as steward on a boat bound for Bue- nos Aires, skipped the boat in that South American town, and jumped aboard an immigrant train head- ed for Cordoba in the interior. An- other couple of years of drifting and he was ready to see new countries. At Rosario, on the La Platta River, was an Italian sailing ves- sel, the Barque Esmeralda, - which was taking on a cargo of iron wood destined for Window, Russia, on the Baltic Sea. Gerrit signed aboard her as an ordinary seaman —for a voyage that took 83 days. At the end of this trip ke joined a Norwegian boat bound for An- twerp, eventually visited his home in Holland, and was off again. This time he became chief stew- are on Dutch West Indies boats and remained With them for sever- al years.

One day, feeling his English had improved sufficiently to be understood, he entered the United States “through the back entrance,” deserting the ship, and boarding a “side door pullman” to Spokane in 1908. In the spring he hired out as steward on the Dolphin plying be- tween Seattle and Skagway, and at that latter port a year later, he drew his pay, went over the rail- road to Whitehorse, and thence down the river to Dawspn. About this time he acquired the nick- name “Heinie” while working on the Yukon River boats. A year later he was found prospecting on Thistle Creek, 100 miles from Dawson, and later took part in the Shushana gold stampede where Fe was busy mining when, in 1913, news of the outbreak of World War 1 in Europe filtered through. He left for Spckane to enlist, but was rejected due to prior in- juries roceived in his African campaign. At this time an Aunt and Uncle persuaded him to send for an orphan girl he had met in Amsterdam, Holland, six years previously. This he did, and the day finally came when quiet Miss Alice Aldanberg, recently strictly 1cared by the Quakers in ed in Spokane. After one d: engagement, smooth-tongued Ge: rit had her talked into becoming his wife. After a brief honey- meon in San Francisco attending the World's Fair, they came north to Anchorage and happily pitched a tent on Ship Creek in 1916, His first act was to become nat- uralized in 1917, and as foreman on the Alaska Railroad, Mr. Snider pioneered in the Cook Inlet coun- try, taking up cne of the first homesteads near Wasilla.
