Nick's Trip on the Untamed
River
In late October of 1963, Don Hunter
Sr. and Nick Andrew Sr. were coming back from a seal hunting trip on
the coast. They had 13 seals on board the boat. The two had to get
back to Marshall fast because it was cold and the river was just
about to freeze up.
"Right below Mountain Village we had
to go through some 20 foot high waves and it was scary because all we
had was a little plywood boat," Nick said. "We had to climb the
biggest waves to look for the smaller waves because on top of the big
waves we were able to see all over the river.
Another problem Don and Nick had to
deal with was ice building up on the bottom of the boat. The
temperature was around freezing and the river had some ice floating
in it. Whenever ice built up on the bottom of their boat they had to
ride over some floating ice to scrape the ice off from
underneath.
By the time Don and Nick were around
Takchak there was even more ice on the river which made it very
difficult for them to ride on the river.
"We were lucky there was a bunch of
people on the beach below Marshall. They pulled the boat up as soon
as we landed with everything in it, including Don and me. If they
hadn't been there we would have had a hard time unloading the boat
and the ice would probably have pulled it down the river before we
could've done anything about it."
