On This Day | Death Washes Over America
Author

The journey in the open boat was begun two weeks ago. Influenza developed soon after the father and the son set on the voyage. For two days both were delirious and then the boy died. The father had expected to make Bismarck landing, but he was unconscious when the boat drifted by the city. Finally the craft ran ashore on a sandbar off Fort Lincoln, where the father waded ashore, leaving his son in the boat, and waited for death.
