Eutuk and Vincent J. Tocktoo, Arthur T. Tocktoo and Jakie Min- goona had gone out on the ice pack by dog sleds to get hair seal to be used for meat and oil for their families and dogs. The hunt was staged on Lincoln’s Birthday, February 12, as Eutuk can only go hunting on those days when the postoffice is officially closed Several seal were located fing in open water about six mi offshore and the hunt was Nine seals were killed but the c: casses were too far out from the rim of solid ice to be reached with hooks used by the Eskimoes. ‘The hook used in this process a round piece of wood about inches thick, 10 inches long and haped like a potato masher with hree or four steel hooks put into he thick end. Attached to the ¢ f the wood opposite to the end with the hooks is a length of rope.; The rope is coiled and the g ised much like a cowboy's larla n hooking the seal carcasses With the seal beyond even the| each of the hooks carried by the hunters, a small piece of floati ice was used by Vincent Tocktoo| 1s a kyak to bring in his four s Butuk was not so lucky with the saddle and piece of ice. The ocean current was sefting| >ffshore and the seal were drifting further away making Eutuk paddle a greater distance for his five seal Evidently his efforts were too uous causing him to slip from hi ce boat into the cold water | Eutuk grabbed his floating hook and wrapped the rope around hi left arm The end of the 100 rope on his hook was grabbed by Eutuk’s friends. But they were un pull him along the surface ice because his clothing fr ice. | The “young” ice broke and Eutuk came up under it. Three times this m- on. stren- to le was repeated with him u his | elbow to break the ice before he could be dragged the 50 feet by the three men. He was given hot coffee from & thermos bottle and his friends gave him part of the clothing they were wearing. To restore circula- tion and to keep himself warm Eutuk ran alongside of his sled on the 456 minute trip back to Shismar- ef. Mingoona went, back to the scene of the accident the next morning to get the five seals he and Eutuk had | killed only to find they had floated { away. All members of the seal hunting party are members of the First Scout ‘Battalion, Alaska National Guard. Eutuk, Vincent Tocktoo and Mingoona were in the army during the last war.
