Gestapo Get A Free Pass
ENTOMBS SELF IN ICE TO SAVE BODY FROM WOLVES Out of the frozen Yukon comes the story of an aged Alaskan Sourdough who, dying in the wilderness, entombed his body in ice to save it from the wolves.
Encased in solid ice, Edwin A. Robertson, 84, was found by a searching party in a glacial stream where a little trickle of water flowed over the ice.
His rifle, the tracks of wolves and a tiny heap of sticks with which he had tried vainly to build a fire were found beside the stream.
Robertson, a Maine man who had spent most of his life in the wilds of Interior Alaska, lived in a lonely cabin on Seventy Mile River. On Nov. 14, he set out for Eagle, near the Alaska-Yukon Territory border toond, less than 100 miles below the
Arctic Circle.
