Carmacks, June 28. - While Geo. Carter, Foster McLeod and Charles Lambert, all of Prince Rupert, B. C., were enroute by small boat to Dawson from Whitehorse on the evening of June 25th (last Friday), about four miles south of Little Salmon the boat struck a log projecting from a driftwood pile and capsized.
Carter and McLeod clung to the boat and managed to reach the shore, but Lambert held on to the log which the boat had struck. When Carter and McLeod, who immediately returned to the driftwood pile, reached the spot, both Lambert and the log had disappeared. With the aid of a life belt they searched the driftwood pile and the nearby vicinity for several hours but could find no trace of the body.
Most of the outfit in the boat was lost except for a few articles which
were jammed in the bow of the boat.
Charles Lambert was a representative of the Consolidated Press and is
believed to have relatives in Vancouver.
