Deed of a Hero and Alaska Rescue Duet
A May journey down the Kuskokwim ends in peril as two miners stranded with a wounded comrade and starving dogs. A steamer crew rescues them, a hospital saves the injured man, and a missionary gift aids recovery amid gratitude to the rescuers. Also recounted is a Calcutta telegraph tale from 1857 where a boy named Brendish kept a vital message through gunfire, earning praise and a pension for his courage.
